Mat\u00eds is running an interesting project in collaboration with Thor-Ice, the University of Iceland, 3X-Technology, the National Association of Small Boat Owners and Valdi ehf. on cooling catches with ice scrapers on board small boats.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the project is to improve the quality of catch from small boats and maximize the return price. To achieve these goals, a sludge engine suitable for small boats will be designed and also improved procedures for cooling catches will be developed. Increased knowledge of handling and cooling will reduce the proportion of the catch of those boats that are considered unusable due to poor or no cooling. Improved cooling on board small boats will undoubtedly increase the overall quality of the catch landed. This is a benefit for both fishermen and producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main products of the project are:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
