Síldarvinnsnan talked to captain Bjarna Ólaf Hjálmarsson and asked him if people were not satisfied with the harvest.

"Sure, I think people are just very satisfied, not least considering that it was a January tour. January tours have often turned out to be quite difficult. We are landing almost 30,000 boxes after the tour and that is very good

It was widely awarded. We were in the south of the country and also in the east. Then we went north and all the way west to Víkurál. The catch was relatively even and there was always enough to do in our processing. There was never a dead time. The Barents Sea is next on Blæng's agenda. We will go there tomorrow. Captain Sigurður Hörður Kristjánsson and his crew will take the ship to the Barents Sea, and it will probably also be a 40-day trip,", says Bjarni Ólafur.
