What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Shetland Fishermen’s Association expressed frustration over the scale of Norwegian fishing in UK waters, specifically citing the 70-metre Havstrand trawler. The Association claimed the vessel landed 787 tonnes of saithe around Shetland on August 17, 2026, which represented 12 per cent of the UK’s North Sea saithe quota for 2026. The Havstrand owner disputed this figure, stating that 606 tonnes of round saithe were landed, adding that the catch is within regulations and the quota allocated to Norwegian vessels. Daniel Lawson, an executive officer for the Association, called for urgent government action to better balance fishing access arrangements between the UK and Norway.
