About JV Visserijconsultant

JV Visserijconsultant is led by Jaap Vlaming. He was the owner of the TX48 for years and was responsible for all aspects of the fishery and the running of the business. After more than 27 years at sea, he decided to put his knowledge and experience to use in a different way: as an advisor/counselor for fishing professionals. He is also an agent of innovative Danish companies on the forefront of industry.

Practical, simple and involved are words that describe my working style. The contacts I maintain and the tasks I manage are honest and trustworthy, with the goal to satisfy all parties."

SC35 and SC45 switch over to Type 11 otter boards.

The ship owner wanted to use less fuel without a loss in capture efficiency. In order to compare fuel comsumption and catch, the SC35 fished with the Type 11-76 inch otter board for the first few months and the SC45 fished with the "old" 2-96 inch type. After JV Visserijconsultant had regular contact during the first weeks to fine tune the boards, the results were good. Because the fuel savings was on average 5% and the catch was the same, the ship owner decided to also equip the SC45 with the Type 11-76 inch.
