Chapter 232: Catching Up
Old sailors who are often in the offshore sea, when they go to the open sea for the first time, will inevitably have their imaginations.
chatting with Yang Xun and them, they heard Luo Laosi's dry howl from inside.
"Let's go, go over and sing."
"Let's go."
It's still huge, but there are 30 people on the boat now. Chen Yuan and the others went over, and there were more than 20 people inside.
"Chen Yuan, let's sing one." Luo Laosi handed the microphone to Chen Yuan.
"Wow."
The song cuts to 'Who can understand me,' the song.
Chen Yuan and the people on the boat were not particularly hot, and now that they had time, they wanted to get acquainted with everyone as soon as possible.
'Walk on the road ahead, on the journey of chasing the ideal, move forward with confidence, wind and rain will not give way...... Chen Yuan is not good at singing, but he can't run the sound, and he is quite good in it.
When the song was about to reach its climax, Zhou Sheng took another microphone and sang vigorously: 'With confidence, I will never be afraid of night flights, and when I am sleepy, I will play and sing by myself, and I will find ...... in my dreams with applause.
"Hahaha."
After the song, Luo Laosi applauded.
"Good singing."
Chen Yuan clenched his hands into fists and held the topic: "Thank you, thank you for cheering."
"Fourth uncle, what about the beer, take it out and make it up." Zhou Sheng said with the topic.
"We're drinking as soon as we go?"
"If you don't drink some wine, the atmosphere will be lively."
"Okay, one bottle per person, only one bottle." Luo Laosi took out the beer: "One bottle per person, no one is allowed to drink more."
"Just a bottle."
Nothing on an offshore fishing boat. But for distant-water fishing vessels, you have to take care of the emotions of the crew......
Chen Yuan played with the crew for a while and went to the wheelhouse.
During the day, Lin Xinhai and Guo Tao were on duty in the cab, and at night it was Luo Laosi and Zhang Fulai.
"Where is the fleet?" Chen Yuan sat next to Lin Xinhai.
The fleet departed on the morning of the 25th, and today it was the 31st.
Lin Xinhai zoomed in on the chart and pointed to the chart, the position of the fleet was on the southern side of the Philippine Sea: "It's probably this area, we are more than 1,000 nautical miles behind."
The speed of the fleet is not fast, and the speed of the current is about 13 knots.
"They're slow, and our boat is out of the Bass Strait, and we'll be able to catch up with them in a few days." Luo Laosi said.
This time, the Dongjiang fishery went out with three purse seine boats, plus five longline fishing boats.
The efficiency of purse seine vessels, as long as there are more fish, is definitely better than that of longline fishing vessels. However, the number of purse seine fishing vessels in Kiribati is limited, and it is not easy to obtain the licenses of three purse seine vessels.
Dongjiang Fishery has eight fishing boats and one nanny boat. Their company had a mother ship of more than 100 meters and a cost of more than 400 million yuan, but the ship was not guaranteed, and several major shareholders of their company withdrew their shares, and the mother ship was divided. Now there is a nanny boat, processing a frozen fishing boat, with a length of 86 meters.
It's a lot worse than a mothership, but it's also a giant. Thousands of tons of frozen fish can be loaded at a time......
There are only nine boats in the Dongjiang fishing industry, one big nanny, and eight fishing boats. The length of the fishing boats is less than 50 meters......
There are also eight fishing boats and a nanny. This is the total number after adding Chen Yuan's fleet......
Sixteen fishing boats, two nannies. ….
Dabai has always had high horsepower, with speeds between 20 and 23 knots.
At noon, the cook made lunch.
After eating, everyone moved freely, slept and slept, and played cards.
Chen Yuan went back to the bedroom, Luo Laosi was already lying on the bed, and when he saw Chen Yuan and them coming in, Luo Laosi turned around: "Tomorrow I will explain to you the equipment of longline fishing."
Chen Yuan's hmm, "Look at the sea conditions. If the sea conditions are good, I will explain the equipment to everyone, and in addition, we will have to tie the fishing hook."
"Are there any schools of tuna in Kiribati this season?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Look at which breed
now." Chen Yuan said, "I've heard people say that the tuna over there should be the most in August."
"Isn't there a fish break in August?" Luo Laosi asked.
"It's ......," Chen Yuan said, "In the last few years, the fishing moratorium has been adjusted to July, August and September, and there are the most tuna during this time. I've heard an old crew member say that it's been 15 years, and he was on a purse seine boat of just over 40 meters, and he caught more than 2,000 tons of tuna in seven days."
"7 days?" Luo Laosi said, "Bragger. Seven days, more than 2,000 tuna, not enough time to catch the fish."
"Modern tuna purse seine boats have a tank, which is a conveyor belt that extends into the purse seine net, and the catch is very fast. Besides, the tuna over there aren't particularly big...... The main tuna in Kiribati is bigeye tuna, bonito." Chen Yuan said, "There are a lot of bonito over there."
Luo Laosi scratched his head: "Our company has borrowed more than 20 million. The operating expenses of the current ships are not low...... In terms of salary, it costs a million a month. Nanny and big fish, with a full tank of oil, is almost three million. And the lubricant ......."

"When the boat is in a hurry, the fuel consumption is high, and when the fish is fishing, the fuel consumption is not so high." Zhou Sheng interrupted: "With Chen Yuan here, I can't lose my capital."
Chen Yuan lay down: "To be honest, the pressure is a little big. But if our boat can collect 30,000 hooks a day, it will definitely make money. Speaking of fish hooks, there are only 55,000 fish hooks tied, which is not enough, and today is a day off, and then everyone will have to work."
"Let's put 310,000 meters of dry rope in a day." Zhou Sheng asked.
Chen Yuan nodded: "On the first day, there were two groups, 310,000 meters. The next day, two more sets were released, 310,000 meters. Then the 310,000 meters on the first day were recovered and released...... Follow the hook for the next day. Of course, this is the perfect ideal state, but the boat is full of novices in longline fishing, and it is difficult to do that."
"310,000 meters is 310 kilometers? It will take hours to put the rope down." Luo Lao Sidao.
"Eight or nine hours, six or seven hours if it's fast." Chen Yuan said, "If it is difficult to have two dry ropes a day, then three dry ropes in two days."
"How many hooks do you need for 310,000 meters of dry rope?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"About 30,000."
Zhou Sheng sighed: "If there is a catch rate of ten percent, then there are 3,000 fish."
"How can you count like that?" Chen Yuan took out a cigarette and threw it to Luo Laosi, and then to Zhou Sheng, then opened the bedroom exhaust and lit the cigarette: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the work arrangements in the future." At least 80,000 hooks will have to be bundled, and there are still 25,000 to be left behind, and these hooks will have to be ready when they arrive in Kiribati."
"There are so many hooks, how long will it take to tie them?"
"Divide 20 people to come out and tie the hooks, there is a hook binder, there is no problem tying two hooks in a minute. 20 people, 2,400 hooks can be tied in an hour...... Eight hours a day, that's more than 19,000 hooks. It's going to be a long time, 10,000 hooks a night."
It looks like the numbers are huge, but there are a lot of them.
Tie 10,000 fish hooks a day, and it shouldn't be much of a problem.
As he spoke, Chen Yuan's satellite phone rang, "Hey...... Dad, here we go...... Okay, you have to pay attention to safety on the boat."
Chen Yuan's father called, and after chatting a few words, Chen's father hung up the phone.
Their fleet was slow and is still in the Philippine Sea.
At the speed of a big fish, it is estimated that they will be able to catch up with them in seven or eight days, that is, almost to Kiribati.
Kiribati is quite far, taking into account the course deviation, it is almost 4000 nautical miles. The average speed of a large fish can be in the early 20s, which means that it takes almost eight days to reach Kiribati.
However, this fuel consumption is high, and you have to refuel when you get to Kiribati.
