We welcome Daði Tryggvason to our team as the new Project Manager and Head of DNG Jigging Reels. Daði brings extensive and practical experience from both the fishing industry and public administration, which will serve him well in this new role. He holds a BSc degree in Fisheries Science from the University of Akureyri and has worked for over two decades on a wide range of projects within the sector. This includes many years at sea, both on trawlers and jigging boats equipped with DNG jigging reels. First-hand user experience with the company’s equipment is invaluable — particularly when it comes to product development and customer service. In addition to his time at sea, Daði has worked in aquaculture and most recently as a fisheries specialist at the Directorate of Fisheries, where he was responsible for quota allocations, licensing (including ICCAT and CITES), and customer relations. We look forward to the collaboration and are confident that Daði’s experience and insight will support the continued development of DNG Jigging Reels. https://www.slippurinndng.is/faeravindur
In the spotlight
DNG Hold System
The handling takes place on the processing deck, and full tubs are sent down to the hold, where they are collected in stacks in an automated magazine. The magazine accommodates the entire catch from one haul. Once the processing batch is completed, the stacks are transported from the magazine using the ship's existing lifting systems, rails, or other transport methods. The system automatically sends empty tubs back up to the processing deck from the empty tub magazine. The size and scope of the hold systems vary according to customer requirements.
