Grand Lake, Egypt - Implementation of the project.

“ Grand Lake ” is an Egyptian company having been established in 2004. The company is presently active in trading with fish being caught by artisan fishermen in Lake Nasser and landed in the fishing port of Abu Simbel . It is the company’s objective to increase its scope of business into fishing and processing of fish from Lake Nasser having been caught by artisan fishermen and being caught or farmed through the company’s own activities. The fish species are Nile tilapia, Nile perch and catfish. The fish will be marketed and sold on the national market as fresh, iced fish and on the export markets as processed fish fillets.  

The company has entered into a license contract on a rundown fish processing plant in Abu Simbel and intends to restructure the buildings and install up-to-date processing equipment all to meet the demands for producing and placing of fish products on the market, as given in “Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene on foodstuffs”.

The company has furthermore obtained licenses for fishing in Lake Nasser and for establishing fish farming activities in four huge creeks on the east bank of Lake Nasser .  

It is anticipated that complete implementation will take 12 months starting from 1 January 2005 and is financed by International Leasing & Investment Co, Kuwait.

Raw material supply will build up gradually through the first year of operation after implementation has been completed and will reach a daily supply of 40 tonnes of fish of which 20 tonnes comes from artisan fishing, 10 tonnes from the company’s own fishing activities and 10 tonnes from the company’s fish farming activities.

During the first year a total of 8.100 tonnes of fish will be supplied to the company of which 4.300 tonnes will be sold as fresh fish on the national market in Cairo and 3.800 tonnes will be processed into fresh, chilled and frozen fillets all to be sold on the export markets

Development of 2nd generation Multipurpose Seafood Processing line for value-added products.

During the design and tendering of the production control system for CASEAFOOD, SEAQIP has entered into cooperation with another Vietnamese seafood processor HAVICO in Vung Tau on the planning and assistance in manufacturing and delivery of the 2^nd generation of the MSP lines as presented in Nha Trang last year in November.

Based on the experiences gained on planning, manufacturing, implementation and testing of the MSP lines at CASEAFOOD it is evident that the planning and preparation of layouts with the new MSP lines is of outmost importance for a successful implementation without unnecessary delays and equipment costs.  

HAVICO has expressed the need for specific adaptation of the presented model of the 2^nd generation MSP lines for their value-added productions in the new factory under construction.

Egypt, PSD Programme - Technical assistance under the Start Up facility.

The project is partly financed by the Royal Danish Embassy in Cairo under the PSD Programme with the purpose of carrying through a co-operation project on establishing a modern fish processing plant in Abu Simbel, sustainable fishery and aquaculture in Lake Nasser.

In terms of the technology, several recent technologies will be introduced, which are new to the Egyptian market.

Currently, most fishing on Lake Nasser is done out of small fishing boats, which can carry only limited amounts of catch with no control over the freshness between catching the fish and the processing facility. As mentioned above some technology introductions are expected to include better nets, long lines, and a new vessel better equipped for deep lake fishing with modern equipment, including a fish finder.

The Start-Up phase will also investigate introduction of advanced environmental measures, including minimising water and energy consumption and improving the utilization of raw materials. In addition, the partners plan to work out the layout for establishing a production of fish silage in order to utilise the offal from the fish processing and the downgraded catches, which could be turned into a stable, pelletised feed for animals.  

If, as expected, the results of the Start-Up phase are promising, further technology will be introduced to improve the production efficiency of the processing plant, as well as the fishing process itself and the handling of the product from catching to processing.  

Together the partners will prepare a detailed draft project and a complete business plan for the existing plant including the possibility of breeding and growing Nile Perch and other fish species.

The project will introduce new technologies, which will minimize the impact on the environment through reduced water and energy usage as well as other environment friendly measures, including:

IMPLEMENTATION AND TESTING OF THE NEW MULTIPURPOSE SEAFOOD PROCESSING LINES IN VIETNAM.

Four new MSP lines for a total of 128 operators have been installed and the production started at CASEAFOOD in Cam Ranh, Vietnam.
 
Calculations based on the achieved results at CASEAFOOD shows an annual increase of the contribution margin with USD. 500.000.  The total investment in the MSP lines, raw material feeding system, baskets and misc. equipment is USD. 135.000 giving a pay-back time on the investment of a little less than 3 months.

Please let us make a proposal for your specific needs, in order to estimate the economical benefits you can get by using the new MSP lines for production of all kinds of seafood. The MSP lines can be adjusted to your specific needs. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information - click here to get an estimate of the economical benefits for your production.
