The Future

FIFCA members are continually investing in fleet renewal. In recent years, we have welcomed the purpose built CFL Hunter into the Toothfish Longline fishery, and that was followed by The Monterferro, Montelourido, Argos Vigo, Argos Berbes, Argos Cies, FV Falcon, FV Prion and FV Hadassa Bay entering service in the trawl fishery, with more planned in the near future.

Companies within FIFCA are constantly looking to expand their businesses and diversify into other areas. Some focus directly to the fishing industry whilst others have expanded into retail, hospitality, property and construction services. The income generated from commercial fishing has allowed this growth to develop beyond the scope of fishing and add further value to the economy whilst creating more employment opportunities.
