The Hav Line Method
Fish welfare
- The fish is dried only once. This results in less stress, mortality and better quality.
- Pumped only once, which reduces stress and provides increased quality.
- Gentle pumping - Seaquest 16" reduces stress and improves fish health.
- Fast stunning and killing causes little stress on the fish. Contributes to reduced stress on the fish.
- No live transport - reduces stress, infection pressure and mortality - No need for a well boat.
- No use of waiting cages. Reduces the number of drying out of the fish, as well as stress, infection pressure and mortality
Environment
- No mortality in the slaughter process – Reduces food waste.
- Eliminates the need for live transport and waiting cages - Reduces the risk of infection and food waste.
- Removes up to 8,000 trailers from Norwegian roads - Reduces traffic risk, improves the local environment for external stresses and reduces the footprint.
- Low temperature means that ice can be removed from the box/vessel - Reduces weight during onward transport by truck or plane.
- Can use tubs instead of EPS, as a result of the short distance to the market - Provides large reductions in the environmental footprint, as well as financial savings
- ESG. Reduces emissions by up to 46% - measured in CO2 per kg of fish. By reducing the use of ice and styrofoam, emissions can be further reduced.
