Chapter 257: Stunned
Fill up the big white with oil, and the big fish will go back to collect the hook.
Now the employees on the ship have profit dividends, and they are all very energetic.
The big white full of oil can go out to wave again. No, it's going out to look for fish.
Chen Yuan sat in the driver's seat, started the fishing boat, and turned on the radio topic: "Lao Zhao, Lao Gao, how many tuna are on board."
"One hundred and fourteen, and a few swordfish, marlin." Zhao Bodao.
"I'm similar to Lao Zhao." Gao He said, "It's been a busy night, I have to go back to sleep."
"Okay."
"Wait. How much rope have you put in it?"
"Tens of thousands of meters."
"You're pretty fast, too." Zhao Bo said.
"I'm just going faster. The speed of releasing the rope and lifting the fish is about the same as ours." Gao He said, "When the fishing moratorium is over, our boats will go to upgrade together."
"Wow."
"I really couldn't bear it, so I went to sleep."
"Okay. Let's talk about it." Zhao Bo said, "I'm going out to watch the rope again, and I'll talk back."
"Okay. Let's go out to the open sea and see if we can meet a school of fish."
"I hope to find a school of fish, I'm busy."
"Okay." Chen Yuan smiled and turned off the microphone.
The fishing boat was heading out to sea, and the satellite phone on the shelf suddenly rang: "Hey." Chen Yuan picked up the phone and said.
"Brother." Chen Hao.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm a dad. You're an uncle, too."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Boy or girl?"
"Girl."
"Congratulations."
"Hehehe...... Chen Hao smiled and said, "Your catch is good."
"It's okay. I haven't found any fish in the past few days, it's all tuna." Chen Yuandao.
"In the morning, Wang Peng told me that the nanny number would be back in seven or eight days."
"Almost. Have you found an ultra-low temperature freezer?"
"I've found it, at the East Harbor Pier. I have accompanied Wang Hao to meet a few fish bosses in the past few days."
"What's the price of bigeye tuna right now?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Ultra-low temperature, the third class is 60 yuan. The second class is 70 yuan. The first class is 80 yuan. Large individuals are quoted individually...... Bigeye tuna is about thirty bucks cheaper than yellowfin tuna. If you sell it alone, it's more expensive." Chen Hao said.
Tuna fishing is now banned in many places. Seasonal ......
The no-take area is basically a migration route for tuna. There is also an ocean where the cost of tuna fishing is getting higher and higher, and the price of tuna has risen a lot compared to last year.
In fact, as far as last year is concerned, tuna is not cheap.
Freshly caught tuna is expensive at a high price. The cheap ones are all aged frozen meat, or regular frozen tuna.
"How much does an ultra-low temperature freezer cost?" Chen Yuan asked. He didn't know about it yet......
"The frozen vessel we chartered has two ultra-low temperature fish tanks and can load less than 150 tons. There are also a few ordinary seawater refrigeration tanks......" Chen Hao said, "There are too few ultra-low temperature refrigeration carriers in China. The fare is $1.55 million." "1.55 million?"...
"We've got all the fuel."
Zhou Sheng also heard the price and shrugged his shoulders.
The refrigerated ship, which can run twenty-one knots, has a higher fuel consumption than the Big Fish. This time around, the fuel cost must have exceeded one million.
"That's fine." Chen Yuan said.
"It's a month."
Chen Yuan said "um", "No problem."
Honestly, the cost is ok.
"If you lease it for a long time, the cost can be cheaper." Chen Hao said again: "We have negotiated with the other party, and we are renting their refrigerated ships later, and the cost is 1.3 million. If there is a third time, the cost is 1.2 million...... If you sign a long-term contract, it can be as low as 1.1 million."
"What is the minimum temperature in their cryogenic chamber?"
"About minus 55."
This temperature is enough for transporting frozen tuna.
"I'll see when this collaboration is over." Chen Yuan said: "There are less than two months left before the fish break. If the cooperation is good, we can sign a long-term contract after the fish is opened."
There is only one nanny boat, which can't meet Chen Yuan's needs.
Renting a refrigerated carrier for a long time, or buying your own, can be considered.
Buying a second-hand ultra-low temperature high-speed transport ship is not cheap. It also has to operate, as well as annual overhauls, maintenance and other expenses.
After chatting with Chen Hao for a long time, Zhou Sheng took the phone: "Congratulations. You're a father, so am I the child's aunt?"
Chen Hao laughed: "Yes, yes. Chen Xin is next to her, do you want to talk to her for a while?"
"Okay."
Zhou Sheng took the phone and went outside, chatted for more than half an hour, and then came back with a smile on his face, sitting next to Chen Yuan, with the neck of the landlord Chen Yuan: "Uncle, where are you going now."
"I'll you off......
"Hahahaha."
When you go into the open sea, you can see the endless deep blue.
The water here is more than a kilometer deep, and the sea surface is rippling.
Dabai slid quickly across the sea, leaving a long trail behind him.
Chen Yuan gave up the driver's seat and was about to go out to launch the drone, when someone plugged in the radio: "Chen Yuan, I received a reply."
"Roger."
Zhang Hang entered the radio channel of their working group: "Our fishing boat has obtained a fishing license and is heading for your waters."
"Is there any fishing time in Yukikoku?"
"Yes. I redeemed more than a month of work time." Zhang Hangdao.
Zhang Hang and Rupee's fishing boat, which is registered in Rupee's name. Zhang Hang only privately owns the shares......
In this case, their fishing vessels are "Mick Arrangement" fishing vessels. The Federated States of Micronesia Regional Fishing Arrangement (FMSA) is the Localized Fishing Vessel.
Native fishing vessels receive a certain amount of free effort each year. The amount of effort is the number of fishing days......
The amount of effort of different fishing vessels can be exchanged for different fishing days.
The amount of effort made by Member States is exchangeable to each other. However, it will soon enter the peak season of tuna fishing in the country, and the FMSA fishing boat can redeem the fishing days in the base at this time, which must be related.
In addition to FMSA vessels, there are also multilateral agreement vessels, which refer to vessels licensed under the Variable Fisheries Treaty signed between the governments of Pacific island countries and the United States of America. Finally, there are Chen Yuan's fishing vessels, which are licensed under the framework of bilateral fishing agreements.
"Yes." Chen Yuan reported the coordinates to Zhang Hang and said, "Have you written it down?"
"Wrote it down. Do you have a lot of tuna over there?"
"15,000 hooks, nearly 100 tuna caught. The catch rate is not high, but the tuna here is relatively large. Your boat should be able to fish for tuna as well."
"We only have more than 2,000 tuna hooks."
"We have a lot of them here, just come and get them." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay."
"We'll head north in a few days, and the tuna season is almost here." Chen Yuandao.
"We're here to meet you now."
"Tuna hooks, do you want to tie them up?"
"The dry rope of our fishing boat is relatively thin. If you want a hook, we'll tie it up ourselves." Ruby spoke, "Chen, how did you get it?"
"Not bad. But no fish have been found in the past few days...... By the way, what is the maximum speed of your ship?"
"Ours is a fiberglass longline fishing boat that cruises at 25 knots at high speed." Ruby Road.
"Yes. Longline fishing vessels are fast and have a big advantage." Chen Yuan said.
"We have three rope lifts on our fishing vessels. Two main ropes, one auxiliary rope." Ruby said.
The auxiliary line is the branch line, the hook line...... Hook lines, in particular, can be said to be consumables.
"The length of the rope is only 15,000 meters?"
"Yes, there are two ropes with a total length of 30,000 meters." "Our one is more suitable for offshore operations, and we have oil tanks, which can only hold 21 tonnes of diesel," Ruby said.
"What's the maximum horsepower?"
Longline fishing boat from Australia, 24 meters, diesel main engine......
"Two Volvo 950 hp engines." Ruby said.
"At high speed, the fuel consumption per hour should be about 240 kilograms, right?"
"Almost 245 kilograms."
"What about economic cruises?"
"The economy cruise is about 170 kilograms. There's also a generator on board......
"21 tons of diesel, can it last for 10 days?" Chen Yuan asked.
"It should be possible."
"Our fleet doesn't carry much diesel, and if we meet our own use, we can give you more than 20 tons at most." Chen Yuan said, "When our nanny boat comes back, it will be fine."
"Where's your nanny ship?" Zhang Hang asked.
"I'm back."
"What? Went back?"
"It's full, go back." Chen Yuan said: "Two fishing boats were discovered a few days ago, and the nanny boat is full."
Zhang Hang and Ruby were stunned, it's only been a few days, and the nanny boat will go back? Be aware of their nanny boats, which transport nearly four hundred tons of fish with a full load.
