Freezer vessels record high fat content and large-calibre specimens aimed primarily at the Asian market

Iceland's pelagic campaign reached a decisive operational milestone between August 9 and August 10, 2026, following the confirmed arrival of the first large shipments of mackerel (Scomber scombrus) at eastern processing plants.

The pelagic vessel Börkur NK docked at the port of Neskaupstaður on the morning of August 9, 2026, with a landing of 860 tonnes caught in the Smugan (The Loophole) region, adding to the initial discharge of 700 tonnes delivered on August 7 by the vessel Margrét EA

Technical inspections and fleet captain reports highlight that the shoals located in the North Atlantic present optimal fat accumulation levels and an average size exceeding that of the previous season, both of which are decisive factors in meeting the strict standards required by the Japan market.

Industrial operations at the Síldarvinnslan complex in Neskaupstaður and the facilities in Seyðisfjörður reached maximum processing capacity. Operational reports over the past 48 hours confirm a marked redirection of raw material toward freezing whole and headed and gutted (H&G) fish for direct human consumption, substantially replacing the volumes diverted to fishmeal and fish oil production.

The captain of the Börkur NK, Hjörvar Hjálmarsson, confirmed that resource availability at sea has shown higher yields than the previous year. This biomass behavior enables Icelandic processing companies to optimize value per landed tonne and consolidate high-value export contracts with buyers across Asia and Europe.

アイスランドの遠洋漁船団、ネスコウプスタズルへのサバ大量水揚げで食用向け転換を強化

冷凍工船は高い脂乗りと大型サイズを記録、アジア市場向け出荷を優先

アイスランドの浮魚(遠洋)漁期は、2026年8月9日から10日にかけて、同国東部の加工工場へ大量のサバScomber scombrus)が到着したことで決定的な局面を迎えた。遠洋漁船Börkur NK号は、スムガン(The Loophole)海域で捕獲した860トンのサバを積載し、2026年8月9日朝にネスコウプスタズル港へ入港した。これは、8月7日Margrét EA号によって揚陸された初期の700トンに続くものである。

技術検査および船長からの報告によると、北大西洋に生息する魚群は最適レベルの脂乗りを示しており、平均サイズも前シーズンを上回っている。これらは日本市場が求める厳格な品質基準を満たすための決定的な要因となる。

ネスコウプスタズルにあるSíldarvinnslanの複合施設およびセイジスフィヨルズルの処理施設は、最大冷凍加工能力で稼働を開始した。過去48時間の操業レポートでは、原材料が魚粉・魚油生産向けから、直接食用を目的としたラウンド(丸魚)およびH&G(ドレス)製品の冷凍加工へと大幅にシフトしたことが確認されている。

Börkur NK号の船長であるHjörvar Hjálmarsson氏は、洋上における資源の豊かさが前年以上の漁獲効率を示していると述べた。この資源の活発な動きにより、アイスランドの加工各社は水揚げ1トンあたりの単価を最適化し、アジア欧州のバイヤーとの高付加価値な輸出契約を確実にしている。

冰岛远洋捕捞舰队在内斯克伊斯塔兹大量卸载青花鱼,巩固向食用水产转型

冷冻加工船捕获高油脂含量与大规格鱼体,优先供应亚洲市场

冰岛的远洋渔业捕捞季在2026年8月9日至10日期间迎来决定性进展,首批大量青花鱼(大西洋鲭鱼)Scomber scombrus)确认运抵该国东部加工厂。远洋渔船 Börkur NK 号于 2026年8月9日 上午靠泊 内斯克伊斯塔兹(Neskaupstaður) 港,卸载了在 斯姆甘(The Loophole) 海域捕获的 860吨 青花鱼;此前,Margrét EA 号渔船已于 8月7日 完成了 700吨 的首批卸载。

技术检验与船队报告表明,位于 北大西洋 的鱼群展现出最佳的脂质积累水平,且平均规格超越上一渔季,这是满足 日本 市场严格标准的关键因素。

位于 内斯克伊斯塔兹Síldarvinnslan 工业基地以及 塞济斯菲厄泽(Seyðisfjörður) 的加工设施已进入满负荷冻结加工状态。过去 48小时 的生产报告证实,原料正大幅转向整条冻鱼及去头去内脏(H&G)产品的加工,用于 直接食用,显著减少了用于鱼粉和鱼油生产的比重。

Börkur NK 号船长 Hjörvar Hjálmarsson 确认,海上资源丰度表现出高于去年的产出率。这一生物量趋势使冰岛加工企业能够提升每吨卸载水产品的附加值,并与 亚洲欧洲 买家巩固高价值出口合同。
