Fishing has always been central to the Icelandic economy but, following the turmoil of the 2008 economic crisis, participants at this year’s event can be in no doubt about the health of Icelandic fisheries as figures from Statistics Iceland show the total catch of Icelandic vessels increased by 2.8% to ISK37.4bn (EUR 226m) in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period last year.
Since its inception in 1984, the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition has become one of the world’s leading fishing events and it is a must attend event for anyone who wants to keep up with the latest technology and developments in the industry. Held only once every three years, the 2011 event is on track to cover over 13,000 m2 of inside and outside exhibition space. Around 500 companies are expected to showcase the latest developments in the commercial fishing industry; from the design and construction of vessels, through locating and catching, processing and packaging to marketing and distribution of the final product.
