User-Friendly Operation Enables Fast Packing

Catch packing is done quickly – without excessive screen tapping. In the SeaPack system, packing programs can be individually customized for a specific season and/or fishing area. Only the relevant fish species for the season and region are displayed, and the order of the species buttons can be adjusted. This makes the system fast and efficient to use for high-speed packing.

Easy Screen Customization

The screen displays the button for the primary fish species first on page 1, followed by buttons for other species. This gives the packing operator a clear overview and enables fast registration of various fish sizes during packing. Up to 24 fish species can be displayed per page, and more pages can be added with easy navigation. The skipper has full control over the order and placement of the buttons.

Managing Partial Boxes

The SeaPack system also tracks partial (incomplete) boxes and ensures they are completed. If the catch from a haul is insufficient to fill a box, SeaPack marks it as a partial box. When the operator begins packing the next haul of, for example, plaice size 3, SeaPack highlights the partial box to ensure it's completed first – avoiding waste and saving time.

Simple Trip Planning

In the Production Control Module, the fishing trip is created with all relevant data such as port, haul name, date, economic zone, fishing area, ICES quadrant, position, and gear type. The system guides the user through each field step-by-step. These fields are quick to fill in – either automatically using GPS data or selected via dropdown menus – significantly reducing manual input and saving working time.

Revenue Overview – At Sea

The SeaPack system provides a complete overview of revenue – while still at sea. Based on the current catch and market prices, the skipper can generate a report in SeaPack showing the day's catch so far, including an estimated value of the total catch.

Easy Reporting to the e-Log

The system integrates with the Fisheries Agency's e-log system and automatically exports the relevant information. Fields are filled in automatically from SeaPack data, eliminating the need for manual entry – saving significant time. The SeaPack software is continuously updated to ensure compatibility with the latest version of the ELOG client.

Dedicated At-Sea Packing Solution

SeaPack includes a software module for the skipper on the bridge for planning and administration, and a software module in the hold for packing. The basic solution – including software and industrial terminal – can be delivered as an “add-on” and integrated with existing marine scales. The system is also scalable to a full solution including software, computer terminal, marine scale, printer, and cabinet.
