From Newfoundland to Norway, the European fishing fleet operates around the clock every day, fighting against the elements and the relentless sea. During a three-week fishing tour, the trawler dedicates only about one week to fishing, the remaining two weeks are needed for travel to and from the fishing grounds. These trawlers are equipped with electronic equipment such as navigation aids, echo sonar and an automatic fish swarm detection system that indicates the density of fish. Trawlers of this type pull their trawls on the right side (starboard side). The crew is 19 men.
