Carsoe solidifies Russian breakthrough with new giant order


Danish company Carsoe has previously won an 800 mill. DKK order for seven fully equipped onboard fish processing plants delivered to the shipping company Russian Fishery Company (RFC). After a period of successful tests, Carsoe now announces a new agreement, which will secure RFC another four ships fitted with Carsoes advanced processing plants at a price of nearly 500 mill. DKK.

This solidifies Carsoes position as a preferred supplier to the fast-growing fleet of Russian fishing vessels.

The new agreement will secure work for Carsoe’s 350 employees both in and outside Denmark. It also emphasizes the company's ability to turn Danish technology and know-how into solutions, which make fishing vessels around the world more profitable.

 

The super trawlers (ST192) – equipped with both processing, packaging, and freezing facilities – are 108 meters long and 21 meters wide. When fully functional a 150-man crew can catch up to 60,000 tons of fish annually. Because of the onboard facilities, the fish does not have to be frozen first and then thawed and processed on land. RFC can process, package, and freeze the products at sea, making them ready for consumers before reaching shore.

This gives RFC a very important competitive edge.
