Double refit for returning customers

5 years ago, the two trawlers, Markus and Nattoralik from Qajaq Trawl and Polar Seafood went on their very first fishing trips. Since then, their shrimp catch has been processed in the onboard factory solution from Carsoe. 

After years of fishing, the customers now return to Carsoe for a refit of both vessels. A change in market conditions means higher demand for specific products and this calls for an adaption of the production line on the two factory trawlers to respond to the market and increase profitability of the production.

With a rebuild of their existing processing factory by replacing their current Japan line with a new customized semi-automatic Japan shrimp line, they will get a higher return on their catch and a better usage of their onboard factory, as well as a product packaging size output more suitable for current retail demand.

Since the factories were first built, the Carsoe After Sales department has handled regular maintenance and service on the two vessels numerous times to keep the processing flow running smoothly. For instance, an adjustment in the weigh-out area, designed by the crew onboard Nattoralik, was installed a few years ago during a short stay in dock.

This is one of many examples of the importance of a close and continuous partnership. Knowing the ins and outs of the factory. Advising the crew on adjustments. Understanding the importance of reliable and seamless operations. This is part of the Carsoe DNA, or as Senior Sales Manager Søren Hansen says it: “We are here to ensure that the factories run smoothly and efficiently. When the equipment works, the crew is happy, and so are we.”
