Fishing port

A High-Performance Flotilla

• 3 freezer vessels,
• 6 fresh fish ocean trawlers
  (44 and 55 m),
• 60 local fishing trawlers (16 to 25 m),
• 70 small fishing vessels
  land around 50 000 tons of fresh and frozen fish
• 300.000 tons of seafood produce processed and marketed
• 200 companies work in the port.
  They represent 7.000 jobs.

• The fresh fish catch is sorted and packaged on board in closed containers filled with ice, in order to keep the temperature to 0° centigrade.
  The ocean going fishing trawlers are owned by EURONOR. These vessels unload in Boulogne-sur-Mer and in Scotland (advance bases).
  
  The production of local fishing represents more than 70% of the tonnage which is commercialised in the port. It is most often landed 48 hours following the catch.

Aboard the freezer vessels the fish is disembowelled and filleted as soon as it is caught and then the fish fillets are immediately frozen on board.
