Sammendrag
The national freight transport model in Norway is named NEMO. Until now, transport of fish from the fishing grounds to the landing municipalities has not been included in this model. In a tendering procedure, NTP-Transportanalyser chose SINTEF to implement transport of fish from catching to landing, and the corresponding sailing patterns in NEMO. The implementation is carried out by developing a sub model covering this particular transport. This fishery model handles all transport of fish from the fishing grounds to Norwegian landing municipalities, and describes movements of the fishing fleet. The developed model covers all catch of wild fish and shellfish, with the exception of river and river systems fishery and foreign vessels. Farmed fish and shellfish, from both land and sea based constructions, are also excluded.This report describes the structure and main properties of the fishery model. The model has been tested and has proven useful for strategic analysis of fishing harbours. Using the model for assignment of sailing pattern has also been demonstrated.
