The F/V NORDIC EXPLORER out to sea from New Bedford MA

The NORDIC EXPLORER with a crane in the waist is not a typically rigged fishing vessel seen in the New Bedford Fleet. The ship, spotted from the dike, headed out to sea, August 17, 2019. The trawler, along with her sister, F/V Western Venture, specializes in catching Atlantic Herring and Mackerel for Norpel. The vessels are equipped with refrigerated sea water systems to keep the catch fresh during transit to the plant. The company site in New Bedford is located at (where else?) Fish Island. Norpel is one of the largest pelagic processing companies in the USA. They also process multiple varieties of other fish including Monkfish, Lobster, Scup, and Tuna. They have recently got into the market of the North American Petfood Industry, providing seafood ingredients, according to their web site at http://www.norpel.com
