Here on Aflafrettir.com has been all this year list of all the boats in Norway,
and because there are so many boats that are fishing in Norway,
Aflafrettir.com has to make many lists after how long the boats are.
One of the list is for the boats from 7 to 7.99 meters long.
Many boats in Norway are on that list, over 600, and they are fishing using, like handlines, line, crabs and gilnet.
One boat has fish most on this list and even that boat has fish more that the boats on the list 0 to 6,99 meters long,
and more that the highest boat on the list 8 to 8.99 meters long,
This boat name is Solveig M-15-GS, and when this is written Solveig has caught 107 tons in 74 trips and most 4,9 tons in one trip.
Next boat after Solveig has only caught about 61 tons.
Owner and captain of Solveig is not old, he name is Simen Ohr and he is only 20 years old.
And even if he is only 20, Solveig is boat number 3 that Simen is a captain of, and he started to be captain only 16 years old.
Solveig M-15-GS is a new boat, is 7,99 meters long and 4,65 meters wide and made of aluminum.
Solveig M-15-GS, has 15x380 liters boxes from company Sæplast in Iceland,
and has 8 in the fish room, and 7 on the deck, and that means that Solveig can come with up to 5 tons of fish in one trip.
Because Solveig is under 8 metres long then he fish in a open group in Norway,
but can only fish about 18 tons on cod, but can fish as much as he can on other fish species. But if total quote for other species is over then he have to stop.
They fish from the town of Kristiansund and Sigurd folland on Averöa take the fish from Solveig.
