How is your crew using your data?

Modern satellite communications make it possible to download in

1 minute a 30-megabyte video file that once would have tied up the line for at least 15 minutes.

But you still hear: “It’s not fast enough.”

When Satcom providers at KVH In-dustries hear that from a customer, they analyze data us-age. It’s not un-usual to find fully half a vessel’s data demand is for non-opera t ion use, said Steve Griffin, commer-cial sales manager for KVH.

Operators need to identify their must-have data needs and use best man-agement to keep within budget. They can work with service providers to find alternative ways to handle data, like cloud storage on vessels to carry video, and prepaid calling for crew members, Griffin suggested. — Kirk MooreBob Desautel, president and CEO of Global Seas and Nina Fisheries, gives the Pacific Marine Expo keynote

EDUCATION SESSIONS

Friday, November 18

11 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.

Alaska Seafood Marketing Town HallConcourse Stage

Take part in a discussion led by ASMI’s Executive Director Alexa Tonkovich and Andy Wink, senior seafood analyst with the McDowell Group. This session will include the latest information on Alaska seafood market economics and promotions in the global marketplace. We invite you to ask questions and share your own experiences and ideas at this meeting of Alaska fishermen and fish marketers.

11 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.

Electronic Monitoring: Next Steps Main Stage

Join NMFS scientists and managers to discuss the 2017 plans for moving forward with integrating electronic monitoring technologies in Alaska, the progress made to date, and how these efforts fit into the national reputation of sustainable U.S. fisheries.

Fishing has become increasingly tech-friendly, a transition that holds promise for helping fishermen keep better track of their catches and supplying managers with robust and timely data for manag-ing our fisheries and ensuring our reputation for

sustainable management in the global seafood marketplace. For the last decade, NMFS scientists and managers have been working with fishermen to explore and develop these technologies and their integration into the U.S. science-based manage-ment process. Recognizing one size doesn’t fit all, in 2015, NOAA released a series of Regional Electronic Technology Implementation Plans.

1 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.

Personal vs. Professional — How to Reduce Your Risk Factors at SeaConcourse Stage

Understanding your personal and professional risk threshold is particularly important in the maritime industry where the stakes are high. Our personal thresholds can be influenced by those around us as well as by our operating environment.

Join us for a discussion of the influences to our risk thresholds. Review strategies operators can use to reduce these risks. Discuss how investigations have illuminated the relative risks that lead to the most common marine accidents and practical steps vessel owners can take in order to reduce the likeli-hood of a Jones Act lawsuit or the business interrup-tion that can be caused by maritime personal injury litigation.

1 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.

Fight the FireMain Stage

This discussion will include a review of the options for marine fire suppression, including safety, weight, residue, conductivity, speed of extinguishment and cost. Learn how new and existing safety regulations will affect marine fire suppression. Discover how environmental regulations affect marine installa-tions. Gain an understanding of existing marine fire suppression applications and future applications in development.

2 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.

Fishing Vessel Enhanced Oversight ProgramConcourse Stage

Do you have questions about proposed commercial fishing safety regulations? Federal development of the Alternate Safety Compliance program has changed course and is now known as the Enhanced Oversight Program. What is the same? What is different?

Find out by attending the U.S. Coast Guard’s fish-ing vessel safety presentation, led by Chris Woodley, former Coast Guard CO, and David Belliveau, Coast Guard marine transportation specialist.

All safety sessions sponsored by Main Stage sponsored by

This schedule is subject to change. Please visit www.pacificmarineexpo.com for the latest updates.

2 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.

Climate Change and Its Role in Alaska’s FisheriesMain Stage

Big changes are coming to Northwest and Alaska fisheries as atmosphere and ocean climates con-tinue to warm. A recent University of Alaska report on the industry explains what is occurring, what to expect, and introduces some ideas for adaptation. Come prepared to engange on ideas for adaptive strategies that individuals, industry and communi-ties can use.

3 p.m. – 3:45 p.m.

New Applications for AIS Save Lives and Improve EfficiencyConcourse Stage

As of March 1, 2016, Coast Guard regulations requiring all commercial vessels over 65 feet long to be equipped with an Automatic Identification System, including fishing vessels, and in some cases smaller tugs and passenger vessels.

As we adopt these new regulations, the industry is discovering a varitey of efficiency and safety ben-efits of AIS. EPIRBs, personal locator beacons and other traditional 406-MHz-based beacon products are rapidly changing to include new features and functionality. One of these new concepts is the integration of AIS technology into these 406-MHz life-saving devices. The discussion will cover various AIS equipment types (A and B), costs, requirements and an explanation of the technology that can save you and your crew.

3 p.m. – 3:45 p.m.

A Farm for Every FishermanMain Stage

Many successful commercial fishing businesses have diversified their businesses by harvesting multiple species, using vessels for other activities, or ex-panding into processing and marketing.

Tomi Marsh, Julie Decker and Markos Scheer dis-cuss the range of commonalities between the com-mercial fishing industry and the mariculture industry (growing and harvesting shellfish and seaweeds). At this session a panel of speakers will discuss examples of businesses which combine commercial fishing and mariculture, the obstacles and success stories of developing mariculture in Alaska, and steps for getting started with a farm site.

“Without a quota system, you could never make this kind of investment.

“The quota for cod is very stable. It does go up and down, so with a vessel like [the Blue North], you need the assurance that you have enough quota within the company to keep the

boat fishing year-round, and Blue North does.“I’ve been in for 30 years. Every year we go up,

every year we harvest the fish, every year we stop when we take what we’re supposed to take and go home, and the next year we come back and the cod are there again. It’s really beautiful that way. It’s such a nice renewable resource.”

“Without a quota system, you

could never make this kind of

JOSHUA JARVISDeckhand on the 63-foot California squid boat Endurance out of Ventura

“Prices are good for squid at the moment, so just trying to be in position. If it happens, it happens.

“Because I got here a little later, I don’t know the full details, but guys were catching squid up north around San Francisco. All those boats have come down South now, anticipating that squid are going to show up now… It sounds like squid are being caught. It’s looking good.

“If the squid don’t show up, we’re hurting and everyone is in a bind. Every fishery feels like it’s been a little depressed lately so that’s the worry, but beyond money? That’s my only concern. “If there’s no squid, I get a lot more time to surf.”

The 191-foot Blue North — a new hook-and-line cod boat built for Blue North Fisheries by Dakota

Creek Industries in Anacortes, Wash. — received a lot of attention when it was christened on Sept. 9, 2016. The party drew out Washington Gov. Jay Inslee along with hundreds of other guests, and elicited an all day, all night party, complete with a live band, free cocktails, and the best warm chocolate chip cookies I’ve eaten since childhood. Though most fishermen enjoy a good shindig a couple times a year, why did the Blue North merit this much attention? I took a tour of the flagship to find out. Here’s what I learned.

Many European fishing vessels have moon pools, but the Blue North is the first American vessel to include this safety feature. A moon pool, or internal hauling station, is a 5-foot-diameter tunnel at the bottom of the vessel that allows crew members to work inside, even when hauling gear. Kenny Down, CEO of Blue North Fisheries, says it allows the crew to “be fishing inside in the worst weather in the middle of winter in the Bering Sea in a climate controlled atmosphere.”

The moon pool replaces traditional side haul-ing over rollers. In addition to being a safer working

BY SIERRA GOLDEN platform, it will improve catch rates because it allows crews to work close to the water surface, reducing the number of fish lost just as they are lifted from the sea.

The Blue North also takes an innovative approach to energy efficiency. While all of the equipment on board is designed to be as efficient as possible, two features stand out. First, its designers selected the most efficient diesel engines available and used them in combination with a smart grid that selects which size motor to turn on when in order to achieve the great-est fuel efficiency. The smart grid can detect even a gram of fuel savings and act on that data. This platform will be approximately 30 percent more efficient than a traditional one.

Second, the Blue North is the only vessel in the North Pacific with a heat recovery system. This system recaptures energy from seawater heated by the engine cooling process and uses it to heat the entire vessel, make freshwater and make hot water. This reverse heat exchange system makes use of energy that would oth-erwise be thrown overboard.

One of this vessel’s most striking innovations was borrowed from an industry that often feels quite dis-tant to fishing: cattle ranching. Executives at Blue North Fisheries noted that cattle are harvested under ethical treatment guidelines. No such guidelines ex-ist for the fishing industry. Blue North has set out to change that by launching a Humane Harvest Initia-tive. The initiative calls for the development of new practices that will allow seafood to be harvested more humanely, and the new longliner manifests those ide-als. It is equipped to stun every fish within seconds of leaving the water, and hooks are removed only after the fish are stunned. This reduces stress to the fish and “creates a better-tasting, more nutritious and better quality product,” according to Down. Ultimately, Blue North hopes their innovations in stunning will create a better experience for fish and consumers alike.

Inslee answered my “what’s so special” question well The moon pool will allow the crew to avoid any poor weather conditions.

in an open letter to the owners of Blue North Fisher-ies: “Blue North, as a company, has shown great lead-ership by creating one of the most environmentally friendly and safe fishing vessels in the word. By utiliz-ing clean technology and building this state-of-the-art vessel, you are leading the way in modernizing the North Pacific Fishing Fleet right here in Washington.”

tions currently in boats. One is in a 32-foot Bristol Bay gillnetter at Strongback Metal Boats that will be launched the end of October, and the other two are the HiJet 500s going in the Bay Welding Services gill-netter. Leonard Hill — who developed the original Traktor Jet at North American Marine Jet — designed the new jets after leaving NAM Jet and starting Hill Innovations in Alexander, Ark.

“A lot of people are paying attention to this project because of the jets,” says Bay Welding Services’ Eric Engebretsen. It’s hoped that the new gillnetter with the HiJet 500s will have a top speed in the low 40-mph range and with “5,000 to 10,000 pounds aboard and still make 25 mph,” says Engebretsen.

Giddings Boatworks expects to start construction on a 90' x 36' trawler by the end of the year. Coastwise Corp. in Anchorage is designing the boat. “I’ve heard that this will be one of the first trawlers built for Ko-diak since about the ’80s,” says Giddings Boatworks owner Ray Cox.

Gillnetters get new jets; a crabber of another color BY MICHAEL CROWLEY

Bay Welding Services is due to launch a 44' x 14' gillnetter for Cook Inlet in early November. The

Homer, Alaska, boatshop has built plenty of gillnetters, but what makes this one unusual is its power package.

Two 625-hp Volvo D11s with ZF 325 marine gears are fairly standard, but what’s notable is what comes af-ter the gearing: HiJet 500 water jets with 20-inch wa-ter pumps from Hill Innovations. If you haven’t heard of this water jet or company, you aren’t alone.

There are only three water jets from Hill Innova- “A lot of people are paying attention to this project because of the jets. ”

plenty of work, including finishing up work on the Stillwater, a 49' 10" crabber and shrimper.

The Stillwater arrived at Giddings in March, then had 10 feet added to the stern for increased hold capac-ity. The engine room was lengthened to accommodate a new 640-hp Cummins KTA19M3, and when she leaves the yard, she’ll have a new raised fo’c’sle deck.

The Stillwater arrived at Giddings painted white with lavender trim, but will leave with what Cox calls “a very interesting color.” She’s now painted all lav-ender with black trim, Cox says John Roos, the boat’s owner, “took a chance with it, but I think it looks pretty good.”

Fusion expands to meet demandBooth 1246

Fusion Marine Technology is one of the fastest-growing marine electrical and electronics companies in the Pacific Northwest. We are proud of our role in the construction of a new 194-foot stern trawler and two new 136-foot towing vessels.

We are grateful for the overwhelmingly supportive responses from our customers and vendors. Acknowledging the need to meet rising demand, we have been committed to

expanding our infrastructure. Our Seattle headquarters is in the heart of Seattle’s commercial fishing community, near Fishermen’s Terminal. Our Dutch Harbor location continues to grow. Our support team is second to none, dedicated to keeping our field staff equipped and moving forward. We’ve also been focused on attracting and retaining new talent.

Our intent is to perfect a new model for providing vessel support. The line between electrical and electronics is continually fading, and in many areas there are overlapping elements. We break down the traditional walls between electrical and technical jobs

and operate based on capability instead. We

identify common tasks that can be shared by

electricians and technicians, then we empower

them to help one another. We know that many

jobs need specific expertise, but the concept of

cross-training and mutual support is at the very

foundation of our company philosophy. Find

New fireboat exemplifies Jensen’s evolutionBooth 600

Seattle-based Jensen Maritime designed the city of San Francisco’s latest fireboat, exemplify-ing the evolution and growth of the naval archi-tecture and marine engineering firm since it was acquired by Crowley Maritime Corp. in 2008.

“Eight years ago I’m not sure this project would have been in our sweet spot,” said Johan

Sperling, vice president of Crowley’s marine so-lutions group, which includes Jensen.

“But Crowley has made a considerable ef-fort to give us all the tools we need to expand into new areas,” Sperling said. “And our team, which has grown from 21 employees in Seattle to 85 employees with additional offices in Jack-sonville, Houston and New Orleans, is leverag-ing those resources and collective expertise to perform larger and more complex projects with outstanding outcomes that benefit our custom-ers, like the San Francisco Fire Department.”

Lunde installs new combi-split transducers from SimradBooth 1221

Lunde Marine Electronics has installed a few of the new Simrad ES80s with the combi-split on local vessels. The system has the finesse at 200 kHz to show fish on the bottom detail and 38 kHz to show fish deep.

The splitbeam transducer is the widest Sim-rad has made so far at 18 degrees. The accura-cy is the same as the earlier split-beam systems that are 7 degrees. One of the beauties of this system is that the 200 kHz is also 18 degrees,

so an exact comparison of the water column is possible for the first time!

Fishermen know that being able to compare the fish echoes on more than one frequency is very valuable, but usually the different frequen-cies have different beam angles. The result is that you only get a comparison if the fish are on the narrow beam. The ES80 with the combi-split transducer is the first to perform this exact comparison!

The ES80 also has a bottom hardness feature that fills in the white line area with a color that shows the bottom hardness. This is a feature most fisheries can use, as bottom habitat has a direct effect on fish location. Even pelagic or

migrating fish will locate themselves based on the habitat to feed or whatever fish do.

Harris Electric delivers on your favorite FurunoBooth 1509

Furuno’s FCV1900 is available in different config-urations, starting with the versatile, 4-frequency FCV1900. With the CHIRP-enabled FCV1900B, individual fish can be observed even at depths of 100 meters and deeper. The FCV1900G, also CHIRP-ready, offers a precise fish size histogram for accurate estimation of fish size and density of schools of fish. With fish size histogram, targets can be properly evaluated, spelling increased ef-ficiency and profitability.

Palfinger wants to supply your new marine craneBooth 629

The majority of boats in the North Pacific fish-ing fleet are based in Washington state. The economic impact of their activity is realized here in big ways. The average age of the fleet is more than 30 years, and as many as half of the boats currently fishing in the Bering Sea and other Alaska fisheries need to be replaced.

Palfinger Marine’s strategy matches quite well the Washington State Fishing Fleet Recapi-

talization Program.“Having a technical and solution oriented

person in this new segment is essential for our short-, mid- and long-term success here,” says Brian Jacob. “Our new customers here are sim-ply expecting the best technical support, the fastest response time and the best products. Palfinger Marine has provided that for years throughout Europe and Asia, and is excited to bring it to the North Pacific and Bering Sea fishing fleets. Furthermore, having the Palfin-ger passion and family spirit surely helps and facilitate the dialog with the main companies involved in this industry.”

Simrad’s new fishfinders feature CHIRP sonar technologyBooth 1533

Simrad’s S2009 and S2016 fishfinder systems feature Simrad CHIRP sonar technology for precise echosounding detail. These standalone fishfinders are designed to be used as dedicat-ed displays or in conjunction with a compatible navigational network, and can operate with a range of transducer options, offering flexible frequency selections, adjustable ping speeds, outstanding depth penetration and vertical

heave adjustment.The Simrad S2009 and S2016 are built to

meet the strenuous demands of fishing vessels with both bracket- and flush-mount watertight installation options meeting IPX7 water-resis-tance from all sides. The fishfinders are oper-ated by an integrated keypad and rotary dial with direct-access menu keys located along the side of the display that provide intuitive control of on-screen menu options. The large buttons are suitable for use in rough seas, while travel-ling at speed and with wet or gloved hands.

The 9-inch S2009 has a daylight-viewable portrait 480 x 800-pixel display for maximum vertical detail and ideal for outside installation.



What can’t Grundéns do?Booth 721

Today, Grundéns is proud to introduce its Deck-Boss Boot. Designed for fishermen and proudly built in the Pacific Northwest, the Deck Boss Boot provides superior durability, comfort and traction on wet surfaces and uses injection molded construction, patent-pending insole technology, and patented Herkules Grip soles.

“We think we’ve built the best boot possible, through our years of experience listening to what fishermen need and extensive field testing,” said Mike Jackson, Grundéns president.

The Deck-Boss 15-inch boot’s injection molded upper eliminates delamination and cracking. The Herkules Grip provides superior traction on wet surfaces. The flexible upper folds down, and a 1-inch groove holds a silicone band that keeps pants out of the muck and legs dry.

The boot’s interior mimics the bilge space in a boat. Perforations in the softer upper deck and scuppers around the perimeter of the lower deck allow liquid to drain into the bilge space. The lower deck sits on pilings that the create bilge space.

Grundéns, producer of the world’s leading foul-weather gear since 1911, will offer the boot at retail in April 2017 for $129, sizes 6-14.

New concept in seine sensorsBooth 712

Marport presents a new concept in seine sen-sors. Mounted on the foot/leadline of a purse seine in a robust protective steel case, the Seine Explorer transfers data to the wheelhouse as a purse seine is shot away and throughout its op-eration. Its use of omnidirectional uplink tech-nology ensures no loss of signal throughout the seining operation.

The skipper sees an echogram of the shot in

real time, displaying the distance to the seabed and an integrated digital readout of the depth of water above and below the footrope.

Marport’s Seine Explorer is an essential tool for purse seining in shallow water to keep gear clear of ground obstructions. In both deep and shallow water, the upward-seeking option that provides distance to the surface gives the skip-per an accurate indication of the sinking speed of the foot/leadline. An integrated depth sensor also relays information about the speed at which the gear sinks, is lifted or moves to initiate the purse.

Simrad opens the eyes of shrimp fishermenBooth 921

Simrad’s FX80 for shrimp fishermen has turned out to be a success in a major way. To be able to see the shrimp in concentrations and turn around to stay on those concentrations is groundbreaking. The traditional way of towing for 4 hours and then hauling back is costly on fuel and hard on the product. Where was the catch made is the question. If it was made at the beginning of the set than the highest qual-ity will be to get it on board quickly rather than

Stearns redesigns its Powerboat flotation jacket for improved comfort and protectionBooth 1115

The Coleman Co., a lead-ing producer of military and industrial-grade flo-tation devices, is pleased to announce the release of its improved Stearns I077 Powerboat jacket. The bomber-style jacket is now more comfortable and better protects the wearer from harsh envi-ronments.

The I077, which retails for $329.99, features Su-isse Aire flotation foam that helps lock in body heat while allowing for full range of motion.

The new design features an integrated hood and improved wrist and waistbands that will not expand when they get wet, keeping you more dry throughout the day.

“When we were redesigning this product, we worked with end users to ensure that the jacket met all of their needs,” said Darin Webb, se-nior director of Global Product Development for the Coleman Co., the owner of the Stearns brand.

“Rather than just making a PFD shaped like a jacket, we made a jack-et that doubles as a PFD,” added Webb. “Comfort and protection for those long days on deck was our main goal.”

drag it around for a few hours needlessly. The extra fuel needed to drag blind comes right off the bottom line.

Little is known about where and why the shrimp are where they are. The FX80 is the first product of its type to give the fisherman the ability to see them as they are being caught. This allows a bit of finesse and with time it will give the fishermen the ability to discern the patterns and habits of the shrimp and will therefore increase the knowledge of the situation. This can of course turn into scientific data if there are researchers wanting this data.

The FX80 has the ability to record the video and the the lat/long of the data as well as

temperature and other data if wanted. Still shots aren’t awesome but stop by booth

921 to see video recordings and then imagine being on board seeing it live!

Q: Why do you think the SeaWeb Seafood Sum-mit is an important event for seafood industry professionals — and especially commercial fisher-men — to attend?

A: The big message would be that the com-mercial fishing industry, policymakers, academics and NGOs need to start finding common ground, and of all the places I’ve ever been, the SeaWeb Seafood Summit is the best place for that to hap-pen. It’s probably the biggest event I can think of where you have the leaders from all elements of the seafood world all in the same place.

For commercial fishermen, it’s very clear that a lot of the fishing agenda is being driven by NGOs these days… things like certification and trace-ability, which is a really big issue now. So it’s a great chance for people in the commercial indus-try to see what NGOs are thinking and what the major issues are now and what the driving agenda will be in the future. It’s also a chance for them to have an influence on the NGOs; to give them a chance to share their perspective and let them know about what’s going on in the real world.
