Comments:

  1. Sharp decrease of cod and haddock harvesting in 2003 has occurred owing to the loss of basic trawler "Murman" which has fished these objects in Barents Sea. The increase of these figures in next years was owing to putting into operation of new trawler "Melkart".
  2. The monopolistic position of Company's vessels in NAFO area in 1998-2000 allowed to accomplish practically unlimited fishery of halibut within the total Russian quota. Such situation did not exist any more in the further.
  3. Decrease of catch volumes in 2001 and in 2003 was due to significant reduction of quotas for fishing of some species practically in all areas of fishery.
  4. The fall  of skate catch in NAFO area since 2005 was due to institution of quotas for  this harvesting and unresolved problem of allocation of this quota in Russia.
  5. Since 2004 the full ban on capelin harvesting is entered in Barents and Norwegian Seas, until full recovery of its fishery stock.
  6. Sharp decrease of fishing of pelagic species since 2005 has been due to breakdown of the basic seiner-trawler "Murman-2" in May, 2005, and then the termination of its bareboat charter party. From the end of 2006 the pelagic fishing is renewed by new seiner-trawler "North Ocean".
  7. In 2001-2005 the Company's vessels besides traditional species have fished the squid in Southwest Atlantic (1206,0 tons), the white hake (1933,8 tons) and the grenadier (648,6 tons) in NAFO area and also have actively harvested the flounder (1464,9 tons) in NAFO area and in Northeast Atlantic.

Comments:

  1. Sharp decrease of manufacturing and deliveries of frozen fish products from ground fish on export in 2003-2004 has occurred owing to the loss of basic manufacturer of this products –factory trawler "Murman". From the end of 2005 such deliveries have been renewed by new factory trawler "Мелькарт".
  2. In 1999-2000 seiner-trawler "Murman-2" was delivering cooled herring, capelin and blue whiting in port Murmansk within the special Russian Government's Decrees. Next years such opportunity did not exist any more. Deliveries of pelagic fish for human consumption in Murmansk in 2002-2005 were carried out with use of foreign transport vessels with RSW-tanks and the bareboat-chartered seiner "Yupiter II".
  3. In 2005 deliveries of pelagic species have decreased almost in 3 times and have absolutely stopped in 2006 due to breakdown and further termination of operation of seiner-trawler "Murman-2". In the end of 2006 new seiner-trawler "North Ocean" has renewed deliveries of finished goods from pelagic species, now frozen.
  4. Besides frozen fish products, since 2005 the Company delivers on Russian market the canned food "Cod Liver natural" manufactured at sea on trawler "Melkart". During last 2 years 336,3 thousand jars No 5 (230 grams) has been delivered.

Comments:

  1. The unprofitable result of Company's activity in 2003-2005 was due to above mentioned reasons – discontinuance of operation of the most economically effective vessels "Murman" and "Murman-2".
  2. Significant investments into fixed capital of the Company in 2004 and 2006 are expenses for purchase in the property of new fishing vessels "Melkart" and "North Ocean" and for their repair and modernization before putting into operation.
  3. Since 2006, after starting of operation of new vessels, economic results of work again have gone upwards.
