Seafish, industry authority on seafood, is commissioning a project to analyse the impact of the planned phased implementation of the landing obligation on the UK supply chain.
The project will also look at all sectors within the UK supply chain including vessels, ports and auctions, processors, transporters, wholesalers, retail and foodservice, as well as sectors dealing with products for non-human consumption such as fishmeal and bait.
Marcus Jacklin, project manager, Seafish said: “The implementation of the landing obligation will likely have a far-reaching impact on the entire supply chain, from vessel to wholesalers. Whilst there has been a lot of work with the offshore sector in this area, we are looking to develop our understanding of the effect of the landing obligation for the whole supply chain including the onshore sectors.”
Seafish added that analysis of the sectors dealing with product designed for both human and non-human consumption is necessary to understand operational, legal and financial impacts.
For the purposes of this project, the UK supply chain is deemed to comprise activities from vessel to retail market and food service.
Seafish is looking for applicants to undertake this project, ideally with relevant experience and a track record of delivering projects to a high standard. Full details of the tender can be found on the Seafish website.
Closing date for applications is 12:00hrs 13 March 2015 with project to be completed by 31 August 2015.
