Link Aurora delivers Scottish mackerel to Danish processor
The BIP Centre in the Danish Port of Hirtshals has provided the gateway for a first shipment of Scottish mackerel to a processor in Denmark
and this positive experience has demonstrated the seamless flow of goods through the port
This is the first time that Peterhead company Northbay Pelagic has shipped processed mackerel to a customer in this way through Hirtshals
Sæby Fish Canners is a well established processor in the north of Denmark
with production for both local consumption and for outlets across Europe
and they partnered with North Atlantic Shipping to bring this first shipment of 370 tonnes of bulk frozen mackerel to the BIP Centre in Hirtshals
“We can expect changes in the way we receive fish in the future
along with national and regional legislation
make it likely that more frozen fish will arrive at Danish quays in the future,“ said Sæby Fish Canners CEO Claus Christensen
“When receiving fish from our partners in Scotland
we are fortunate to work with trusted companies like North Atlantic Shipping at the Port of Hirtshals
Mv “Link Aurora” docked in Hirtshals in early February with its load of HGT (headed
The shipment was handled at the BIP Centre
it has more than 2400 square metres of frozen and chilled storage space
“This shows us that the Port of Hirtshals operates flawlessly when handling frozen fish from Scotland to Denmark
it would not be possible to receive cargo from the UK post-Brexit
All the necessary facilities are in place to ensure an efficient operation
minimising port stay for the reefer vessel – a crucial factor
as these vessels don’t generate revenue while berthed,” said Jens Skjødt Petersen at North Atlantic Shipping
“This collaboration between Northbay Pelagic in Scotland
We began unloading at 0700 and completed the process by 1130
I assume that the CO₂ footprint for this shipment is significantly lower by sea compared to transportation via road from Scotland to Denmark.”

The fish were stored in the BIP Centre’s frozen facility for just a couple of days
as Sæby Fish Canners opted to collect the cargo quickly
The next shipment is expected to arrive later this year with approximately 500 tonnes of mackerel from Scotland for Danish processors
with the BIP Centre providing the essential link in the chain to make this possible
“Lineage is proud to operate the BIP centre at the Port of Hirtshals
the designated entry point for all non-EU imports of fish and other frozen goods and the only facility on the Danish west coast able to handle large volumes of goods
while also accommodating containers,” said Lineage General Manager Morten Jensen
commenting that the Port of Hirtshals and the companies operating within it look forward to more shipments from across the North Sea
inspections by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration
strengthening import opportunities at the Port of Hirtshals.”

For the past two decades, a group of residents from the town of Sæby has been busy building "Minibyen Sæby," a 1:10 scale of their northeastern Denmark seaside home
the volunteer organization started out meeting in the basements of the local transformer station and former waterworks department
It finally secured its longtime workshop space and display area in a field next to a local shoreline access point
where the ever-growing miniature model can be seen today
The creators of the mini-Sæby make all the clay building blocks by hand and get them fired courtesy of a nearby brickworks factory in the village of Volstrup
the wee houses are then situated in their proper location within the growing mini-city
Because most of the older structures in Sæby are centuries old
the 150-plus miniatures are not based on the contemporary city but rather on how the town's dwellings and downtown buildings looked around the year 1900
a few major landmarks stand tall in the tiny town
The miniature church was completed in 2009
The gates to Minibyen Sæby are open several weekday mornings
It costs 25 kroner for adults to enter; kids are free
you can easily look at the whole mini-town through the chainlink fence that surrounds it for no cost at all

Major meat group announces the closure of another site
Danish Crown is to shut an abattoir in Denmark due to a declining supply of pigs for slaughter
Based in Sæby in the Nordjylland region of Denmark
the slaughterhouse’s 800 employees will lose their jobs
The meat group is hiring 450 new employees at three of its other abattoirs and will attempt to relocate as many of its Sæby workers to these sites
vice-president of production at Danish Crown
said: “It is very sad that we have to say goodbye to so many skilled and loyal employees
but we are forced to react to such a marked decrease in the amount of slaughterings
our surplus capacity is costing us more than DKr300m ($44.1m) a year
and it would be irresponsible in relation to the company and our owners if we didn’t take the steps which are necessary to address this challenge.”
Danish Crown claimed the number of pigs supplied for slaughter in Denmark on a weekly basis has declined by more than 10% over the past year
The company still operates five other pig abattoirs in Denmark
Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard
Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis
Laursen said: “What is so frustrating about this situation is that our employees’ performance has been exemplary
it is imperative that the abattoirs are run with very high-capacity utilisation
because otherwise it simply becomes too expensive to slaughter every single pig
added: “After several years of growth driven by strong exports to China
we knew there was a risk that the production of pigs for slaughter might fall
so the decision to propose the closure of the abattoir in Sæby is based on a careful and in-depth analysis of the situation.”
In October, Danish Crown cut 115 jobs at the Sæby site due to because of fewer pigs coming in for slaughter
have a reputation for being stable and reliable workers
and after the dismissals in Sæby six months ago
almost 60 per cent of our former employees have found new work
but it doesn’t happen automatically,” he added
In January, Danish Crown announced it would cut 150 jobs to reduce costs in a six-month restructuring process. The same month, the cooperative set out plans to shut a site in Germany
