Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2017, the EU fishing fleet numbered 83 323 vessels with a combined gross tonnage (GT) of 1.56 million tonnes and engine power of 6.3 million kilowatts (kW). Based on data submitted by Member States under the EU MAP, there were 65 567 active vessels in 2017. Direct employment generated by the fleet amounted to 151 981 fishers, corresponding to 107 807 FTEs; on average earning EUR 28 362 in wages annually. The EU fleet spent 4.8 million days-at-sea and consumed 2.2 billion litres of fuel to land 5.3 million tonnes of seafood with a reported value of EUR 7.6 billion. Revenue (income from landings plus other income), as reported amounted to EUR 7.7 billion while costs incurred by the fleet totalled EUR 6.4 billion (excludes fishing rights), 11% of which consisted of capital costs (EUR 688 million) and 89% of operating costs. The latter mainly consisted of labour and fuel costs (39% and 16% of total costs, respectively). The Gross Value Added (GVA) and gross profit (all excl. subsidies and fishing rights) was estimated at EUR 4.5 billion and almost EUR 2.0 billion, respectively. GVA as a proportion of revenue was estimated at 58% and gross profit margin at 26%. With a total net profit of EUR 1.3 billion in 2017, 17% of the revenue was retained as profit. This publication includes: 1) An structural and economic overview of the EU fishing fleet in 2017, with nowcasts for 2018-2019, and trend analyses for the years 2008-2017/18; 2) A regional analysis of the EU fishing fleet by major sea basin: North Sea & Eastern Arctic, Baltic Sea, North Western Waters, South Western Waters, Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, as well as, fleets operating in Other Fishing Regions, covering the EU Outermost Regions and fishing areas outside EU waters and in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, covered by Regional Fisheries Bodies (e.g. NAFO and ICCAT); 3) A detailed structural and economic overview of each EU Member State fishing fleet, including qualitative economic performance assessments for 2017 and nowcasts for 2018 and 2019.

Book excerpt: This paper provides additional insight on recent trends in the economic performance of the EU fleet and the potential drivers behind them, with supplementary analyses by main fishing region, type of fishing activity and Member State. Starting from the key findings of the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) '2019 annual economic report on the EU fishing fleet', it also includes evidence from recent studies and market analysis. The results highlighted in this paper indicted that the profitability of the EU fleet continues to be positive albeit minor decreases compared to the previous year, net profits were at €1.3 billion in 2017. Continued low fuel prices, stable average fish prices for a number of commercially important specie, alongside improved the status of some important stocks have contributed to this positive result. Employment generated by sector amounted to 151 981 fishers with average wages rising to €28 652. Overall, 2017 was a profitable year for the EU fishing fleets. Twenty-one of the 22 Member State fishing fleets evaluated registered gross profits. Projections for 2018 and 2019 show potential minor falls in profitability, mainly due to an increase in fuel prices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2020 Annual Economic Report (AER) on the European Union (EU) fishing fleet provides a comprehensive overview of the latest information available on the structure and economic performance of the EU Member State fishing fleets. Results indicate that the profitability of the EU fleet fell in 2018, registering a net profit of almost EUR 1 billion, down 23% from 2017. Lower catches and an increase in fuel prices partly explain this overall reduction. Thus, 2018 is a continuation of the decreasing trend observed in 2017. Nowcast estimates indicate that the performance of the fleet rebounded in 2019, while projections for 2020 show a contraction back to 2018 levels, chiefly brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak. In 2018, the EU fishing fleet numbered 81 199 vessels with a combined gross tonnage (GT) of 1.56 million tonnes and engine power of 6.2 million kilowatts; 78% of these vessels were active. EU fleet capacity has continued to decrease at a similar rate as that observed in previous years. Direct employment generated by the sector, amounted to 146 906 fishers, corresponding to 105 851 FTEs. These values follow a similar trend as the capacity indicators. Almost 29% of the employed persons were estimated as being unpaid labour. Average annual wage per FTE was estimated at EUR 24 287, a reduction compared to 2017. Remarkable, is the big dispersion along the different Member States, ranging from EUR 1 400 for Cypriot fishers to EUR 135 500 for Belgian fishers. In both cases with a value lower than in 2017.

Download or read book Techno economic performance review of selected fishing fleets in Europe written by Carvalho, N.; Anrooy, R.;Vassdal, T.; Dağtekin, M. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This techno-economic performance review of selected fishing fleets in Europe presents the findings of European country level studies of fishing fleets of Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The review includes financial and economic information of 42 fishing fleet segments, including demersal trawlers, purse seiners, pelagic trawlers, long-liners, coastal fishing vessels using passive gears, pots and traps fishing vessels and small-scale hand-liners. Analysis of the costs and earnings data of 42 of the main fishing fleet segments in Europe in 2016 showed that all types of vessels had a positive gross cash flow. The average net profit margin of the 41 fishing fleet segments analysed was very good with 20 percent. Eighty-five percent of the fleet segments presented positive return on fixed tangible assets (ROFTAs) of 10 percent and higher. However, 38 percent of the fleet segments demonstrated return on investment (ROI) percentages lower than 10 percent. Comparing the 2016 financial and economic performance results with those of some of the same fleet segments included in the 2002-03 review study, it is clear that general fishing fleet performance in Europe improved. All eight countries together saw a decrease in the number of fishing vessels between 2008 and 2016 of 10 percent, from nearly 60 000 to less than 54 000 vessels. Each of the countries also saw a reduction in total fleet capacity in gross tonnage (GT) and kilowatts (kW). The vessel age structure showed an increasing trend for most of the fishing fleet segments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2019, the EU fishing fleet numbered 73 983 vessels with a combined gross tonnage of 1.33 million tonnes and engine power of 5.3 million kilowatts. Based on data submitted by Member States under the EU MAP, there were 57 236 active vessels in 2019 offering direct employment to 129 540 fishers, corresponding to 92 298 FTEs; on average earning EUR 23 620 in wages, annually. The EU fleet spent 6.0 million days-at-sea and consumed 2.0 billion litres of fuel to land 4.05 million tonnes of seafood with a reported value of EUR 6.3 billion. The Gross Value Added (GVA) and gross profit (all excl. subsidies and fishing rights) were estimated at EUR 3.4 billion and EUR 1.25 billion, respectively. GVA as a proportion of revenue was estimated at 53% and gross profit margin at 20%. With a total net profit of almost EUR 0.6 billion in 2019, 9.0% of the revenue was retained as profit. These results indicate a deterioration compared to 2018 while nowcast estimates suggest that the performance of the EU fishing fleet will be moderately (if compared to 2019) and heavily (if compared to 2018) deteriorated in 2020 and 2021, although partially outweighed by the reduction in fuel costs in 2020. This publication includes: 1) a structural and economic overview of the EU fishing fleet in 2018 and trend analyses for the years 2008-2021 where possible (nowcasts for 2020 and 2021); a regional analysis of the EU fishing fleet by major sea basin, as well as, fleets operating in the EU Outermost Regions and in Other Fishing Regions; 3) a detailed structural and economic overview of each Member State fishing fleet, including qualitative economic performance assessments for 2019 and nowcasts for 2020 and 2021.

Book excerpt: This analysis on the impact of COVID-19 on the performance of the EU-27 fishing fleet has been prepared based on the outcomes of the 2020 Annual Economic Report (AER) on the EU Fishing Fleet (STECF, 2020). Economic performance in 2020 is significantly driven by the combined effects of decline in demand and supply chain disruption resulting from the COVID-19 health crisis. Preliminary results indicate a decrease of 17% in landed value in 2020 compared to 2019 estimates. Our estimates suggest that the countries that have been impacted more by the COVID-19 in terms of value of landings (decrease larger than the EU average) are Bulgaria, Sweden, Greece, Romania, Lithuania, Portugal, Latvia, Cyprus and Poland; while Lithuania, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, France, Portugal, Cyprus and Spain are affected more in terms of profits. Our estimates also suggest that the small-scale coastal fleet (SSCF) has been more impacted than the large-scale fleet (LSF).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013, the EU fishing fleet numbered 83,734 vessels with a combined gross tonnage (GT) of 1.6 million tonnes and engine power of 6.5 million kilowatts (kW). EU fleet capacity has continued to decrease steadily, with an average annual decrease of 2% in terms of vessel numbers and kW and 3% in terms of GT. Based on DCF data, there were 65,363 vessels active and 18,371 inactive vessels. Of the active vessels, 74% were small-scale, 26% were large-scale and less than 1% were distant-water vessels. Direct employment generated by the fleet amounted to just over 149,000 fishers, corresponding to 110,000 FTEs (excl. Cyprus). The total income earned by the EU fishing fleet in 2013 (excl. Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece and Malta) was estimated at €6.9 billion. As in previous years, the major cost items were labour and energy, representing 37% and 27% of total operating costs, respectively. The amount of Gross Value Added (GVA) and gross profit (all excl. subsidies) generated by the EU fishing fleet (excl. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece and Malta) in 2013 was €3.4 billion and €1.3 billion, respectively. GVA as a proportion of total revenue was estimated at 49% and gross profit margin at 20%. With a total net profit of €506 million for the EU fleet in 2013, 7.8% of the revenue was retained as net profit.

This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review of the techno-economic performance of the main global fishing fleets discusses the outcomes from 20 country-level studies of fishing fleets from Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. It includes financial, socio-economic and technical information from 103 major (semi-) industrial fishing fleet segments, which are responsible for an estimated 39 percent of marine capture fisheries production worldwide. The analysis of vessel characteristics reveals substantial differences in fishing capacity (in terms of vessel length, tonnage and power) between fleet segments. An increase in the gross tonnage of average vessels was observed in fleet segments also covered in previous reviews. Substantial increases in average length overall and engine power were observed in several Asian fishing fleets. The age structure of the fishing fleets in most regions, except Asia, shows an upward trend. An analysis of the costs and earnings data showed that labour and running costs were the two main cost components for the majority of fleet segments. Ninety-two percent of 97 fleet segments reported a positive net cash flow in the year they were surveyed, in the 2016–2019 period. Net profit margins of 10 percent or more were realized by average fishing vessels in 73 percent of the fleet segments. Returns on investment (ROIs) of 10 percent or higher were realized by 61 percent of the fleet segments. The review also discusses developments in fishing technologies. These developments, along with a general increase in seafood prices, successful fisheries management in some areas, and improved fleet capacity management in Europe and North America, have all contributed to the ongoing, positive financial and economic performance of the main global fishing fleets in recent years.

Book excerpt: In 2014, the EU fishing fleet numbered 81 500 vessels with a combined gross tonnage (GT) of 1.6 million tonnes and engine power of 6.4 million kilowatts (kW). EU fleet capacity has continued to decrease steadily, at an average annual rate of 2% in terms of vessel numbers and engine power (kW) and 3% in terms of gross tonnage (GT). Based on data submitted by Member States under the Data Collection Framework (DCF), there were 63 642 active vessels and 17 860 inactive vessels in 2014. Of the active vessels, 74% were classed as small-scale, 26% large-scale and remaining less than 1%, distant-water vessels. Direct employment generated by the fleet amounted to just under 150 000 fishers, corresponding to 111 140 FTEs. The revenue (income from landings plus other income) earned by the EU fishing fleet in 2014 (excl. Greece) was estimated at €7.25 billion. As in previous years, the major cost items were labour and energy, representing 34% and 22% of total operating costs, respectively. The amount of Gross Value Added (GVA) and gross profit (all excl. subsidies) generated by the EU fishing fleet (excl. Greece) in 2014 was €3.7 billion and €1.6 billion, respectively. GVA as a proportion of total revenue was estimated at 51.5% and gross profit margin at 21.9%. With a total net profit of €770 million for the EU fleet in 2014, 10.6% of the revenue was retained as net profit, up from 7.3% in 2013. This publication includes: 1) An structural and economic overview of the EU fishing fleet in 2014, with projections for 2015-2016, and trend analyses for the years 2008-2014; 2) A regional analysis of the EU fishing fleet by major sea basin: Baltic Sea, North Sea, North East Atlantic, Mediterranean & Black Sea, as well as fleets operating in Other Fishing Regions, including the Northwest Atlantic, Eastern Arctic, Outermost regions and Other regions; 3)A detailed structural and economic overview of each EU Member State fishing fleet, including qualitative economic performance assessments for 2014 and projections for 2015 and 2016 for MS fleets operating in the NE Atlantic, based on the Bio-Economic Model of European Fleets (BEMEF).

This book was released on 2013 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2013 Annual Economic Report (AER) on the European Union (EU) fishing fleet provides a comprehensive overview of the latest information available on the structure and economic performance of EU Member States fishing fleets. This summary report serves to highlight some of the key findings of the 2013 AER. Results on the economic performance indicate that the EU fishing fleet was again in profitable in 2011, with 6% of income being retained as netprofit. On the whole, the EU fleet showed improvements in most of the main economic performance indicators analysed when compared to 2010. Projections for 2012 indicate increased income for over three-fifths of the fleets analysed but positive profit margins for less than half. As outlined in the Commission Decision of 26 August 2005 establishing a Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries 2005/629/EC the STECF draws up the Annual Economic Report on the European Fishing Fleet. In response to a request from DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (Structural Policy and Economic Analysis Unit) to facilitate its dissemination to the wider public, the STECF issued this summary document in addition to the 2013 AER full report. This summary report was reviewed and released by the STECF by written procedure in September 2013.

This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) comprises 40 percent of the earth’s surface, it covers 64 percent of the surface of the ocean and 95 percent of its volume. The Common Oceans ABNJ Program (2014-2019) was implemented by FAO as a concerted effort to bring various stakeholders to work together to manage and conserve the world’s common oceans. The ABNJ Deep-Sea project, one component of the Common Oceans ABNJ Program, was of great assistance to newly-formed regional fisheries management organization and arrangements (RFMO/As), as well as some long-standing regional fisheries. The project showed positive results in safeguarding vulnerable marine ecosystems, strengthening monitoring, control and surveillance to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, mitigating bycatch mortality trends, and building awareness of cross-sectoral aspects in effective governance of ABNJ. Through its cooperation with RFMOs, the project has, to some extent, contributed to minimize the negative impacts of bycatch. Results achieved should be capitalized on and upscaled in a second phase.
