Huge fishing for Kirkella H7 from Hull

The company Samherji, which has its headquarters in Akureyri in Iceland  has spread its arms widely. In 2014, Samherji acquired a company in Hull and founded a subsidiary called Uk Fisheries. This company makes out 3 trains. 2 freezer trawlers  and one ice fishing trawler
The trawlers are called Farnella, Marbella and Kirkella.

The Kirkella H7 is a brand new trawler and was a build  in Turkey in 2015. It's very big. 86.1 meters in length and 16 meters in width. The ship measures 4290 tonnes.

Full load in Norway
Kirkella came to Norway as the ship landed catches after fishing north of Norway. It can be said that the ship had a full load that could be filled.

The ship had about 883 tons of cod fillets on board. Together with haddock and saithe.

Calculated on the basis of uneven, it was about 2530 tonnes that came up from Kirkella  and therefore cod was about 2,450 tonnes relative to the unseen.


This catch was landed in Tromsø.

The value of this venture may be difficult to estimate, even if we value 300 krónur per kilo icelandic kronas ( 2,18 pounds ore 22,59 norsk krona )  the value of about 800 million icelandic kronas.  that is about 5,8 million pounds ore 60,2 million norsk krona
