Eurostat`s data-base of fishery statistics • In 2005 the EU-27 production of fishery products (capture fisheries and aquaculture production) was about 4 % of the world total. • Four member states (Denmark 14 %, France 12 %, Spain 14 % and the United Kingdom 12 %) accounted for 53 % of the EU-27 production in 2005. • The EU-27 production in 2005 was 17 % less than 1993. • Norway and Iceland together accounted for 3 % of the world total (and the production is not decreasing)! • Norway fisheries 1993: 2584´ tons – 2005: 2546´tons • Iceland fisheries 1993: 1712´ tons – 2005: 1669´ tons
Man-Year in The Norwegian Fishing Fleet – total 9365 man-year
"Fiskebåten som fremtidig arbeidsplass" • Eksemler fra liten kystfiske (10-15 meter), stor kystfiske (21-34 m), bankline (30-50 m), trålfiske (40 - 70 m) og ringnot (45 - 95 m) • Mannskapfordeling på ulike fartøygrupper, antall mann ombord, arbeidsoppgaver, arbeidsfordeling, avløsningsordninger (større fartøy) • Arbeidstid for fiskere ombord på ulike fartøy- og driftsgrupper (tall fra budsjettnemda - Lønnsomhetsundersøkelser - helårsdrevne - år 2006) • Ulykker og risikoutvikling for de ulike (hoved) driftsgrupper - 10-årsperioden 1998 - 2007 • Noen fartøyeksempler og endel tabellariske oppstillinger! Noen utviklingstrekk for fiskeri mhp. HMS • SINTEF / jeg (og noen andre) har i perioden 2002 - 2006 vært ute på fiske med 12 - 15 fartøy fra ulike driftsgrupper og foretatt visse observasjoner på arbeidsforhold og risiko. Vi har så langt ikke direkte forsket på (mangler forskningsmidler) på fatigue (utmattelse) i norsk fiskeri, så derfor ingen spesifikke vitenskapelige data!
FV ”HAVSTJERNA” – SF-85-B – LMFV – MÅLØY - NORWAY • Havstjerna – LMFV • Built year 2001 in China for Iceland – Norway 2003 • Modern fishing vessel – 20,99 meter - 68,9 feet • Fishing with mechanized long line and gillnets • Ground fish: cod, haddock, cusk, catfish, coalfish • Skipper: Birger Grotle, 57 year
Working hours and conditions • FV ”Havstjerna” are using a 1:1 system for all the crew • A shift system is essential to get renewed energy for the crew on the next fishing trip. • Crew onboard: 6 – 7 fishermen (long line and gillnets) • Crew1: 3 weeks onboard and crew2: 3 week free (at home). • Effective fishing period: 10 – 11 months per year. • May month off (in port) for maintenance of the vessel . • Fishing activities: Working: 15 – 16 hours per day • Each fisherman: 3 weeks x 7 days x 15 hours = 315 hours • Working hours: 7 – 8 trips x 315 h = 2205 – 2520 hours/year • Skipper is more awake than the other crew members. • Skipper has to navigate from shore to the fishing ground • There are three navigators on board this vessel (not at same trip)
Coastal fishing group 002: 10 – 14,99 m Conventional bottom fisheries: • 647 vessels in this group • Fishing vessels in the length groups: 10 – 14,99 meter • Average of two (2) fishermen on board per vessel • Working hours: 2232 hours per fisherman • No shift register • Total employment: 1294 fishermen or man-years • Fishing with gillnets, long line, jigging and/or trolling
”Randi-Anita” – 13 meter gillnetter • Cod fisheries in the wintertime in North-Norway. • Period of: January - February - Mars • Staring from port at 04:00 in the morning. Steaming 3 ½ hours for the fishing ground. At the fishing ground 07:30. • Fishing nets: 110 – 120 nets, using 4 chains of 40 nets. • Hauling the nets and taking out the fish: 5 – 6 hours. • Only a small amount (haddock and seithe) are gutted at sea. • The main amount of the catch are taken not gutted ashore. • This gives work reduction of 20 – 25 % for the fisherman at sea. • In bad weather the risk of hurting it self on the knife is much lower. • Total working/fishing: 14 – 15 hours per day. • The skipper is both navigating and working on the deck.
A 12 meter coastal fishing boat grounded north of Bodø – Feb. 27 – Both fishermen were saves
DEEP SEA LONGLINERS The autoliner MS ”Leinebris” at the North Cape Bank in November 2003
Fishermen on a longliner Fishermen and factory workers: • Fishermen: 3 - 4 men working – 3 - 4 men sleeping • Working system: 8 hours on – 4 h off – 8 h on - 8 h off + more fish = more work = total 14-16 working hours per day • Fishermen: relaxing + eating + sleeping : 8 - 10 hours Working operations – all the fishermen are rotating: • Setting all the lines: 45.000 hooks = 4 hours • Hauling operations (fishermen) – total 20 hours: • Hauling (drage): 20 – 30 minutes = total 3 - 4 hours • Separate (splitte): 20 – 30 minutes = total 3- 4 hours • Adjusting (rette): 20 – 30 minutes = total 3 - 4 hours • Rigging (rigge): 20 – 30 minutes = total 3 - 4 hours
Deep Sea Trawling • About 50 trawlers left in the Norwegian deep sea fleet • This fleet is fishing for codfish and shrimp • Some years ago we had about 100 trawlers in this group • Then there were other groups of trawlers • Total deep sea trawler fleet: • Year 1998: 4600 man-years • Year 2005: 2400 man-years • Same quantity of catch is caught with fewer trawlers and half the number of Norwegian fishermen (man-years).
Accidents and risk in different fleet groupsin Norwegian fisheries – period 1998 - 2007
Personal accidents 1990 – 2003 • Statistics based on FGT ´s material of 1990 – 2002 • Accidents among fishermen – analyses of 2104 accidents • Lost lives/perished: 3,7 % • Invalidity accidents: 15,8 % (15 – 100 %) • Milder injured: 80,5 % • FGT = Fishermen Mutual Insurance Fund (former company)
Safety training of Norwegian fishermen from 1982 to 2007 • In the 26-year period of 1982 – 2007: • about 35.500 fishermen and others pupils have taken the basic course, • while 10.500 fishermen and some others have taken the refresher (repetition) course
