From Newfoundland to Norway, Europe’s fishing fleet operates around the clock every day, battling the elements and the relentless seas. On a three-week fishing trip, the trawler dedicates only about one week to fishing, the remaining two weeks are needed for travel to and from the fishing grounds. The equipment of these trawlers includes electronic equipment such as navigation aids, echo sonar and an automatic fish shoal reporting system that indicates the density of fish occurrences. Trawlers of this type pull their trawls on the right side (starboard side). The crew is 19 men.
