Fishing for the future

Themis Fiskeri A/S is a pelagic shipping company with home port in Skagen. For generations we have lived from fishing, and it is therefore very close to our hearts that the next several generations should also have this opportunity. That is why development and sustainability are very high on our agenda.

Sustainable fishing

Themis Fiskeri is a family-run pelagic shipping company that had its origins over 400 years ago in Sweden, but has also established roots in Denmark over generations. The families live on the small island, Rörö, which lies in the Swedish archipelago. Our ship S144 Themis has its home port in Skagen, just as our office is also conveniently located by the quay at the port in Skagen. In order to secure fishing for future generations, we will do our best to work as gently and long-term as possible. Through an extensive project, we are in the process of concrete and targeted work, based on 5 of the UN’s 17 global goals. We believe that through action we create transformation, and we believe in the future.

FN's world goals

For generations, Themis has fished for both consumption and processing. This is always based on a sustainable approach to fish stocks, a healthy and clean marine environment and good social conditions, as well as high safety at sea. We want to run our business in a way that maximizes our positive impact on society and the environment. That is why we work purposefully with the UN’s global goals, and believe that action today has significance for the next generation tomorrow.

2: Zero hunger

Maintaining and taking good care of the fish stocks is our noblest task, as we must ensure access to nutritious food for many people in the long term. That is why we work exclusively with sustainable stocks. The fish we catch are sold for human consumption worldwide, or are made into fishmeal and fish oil, which are used to raise other animals.

8: Decent work and economic growth

For us, it is important to be able to offer decent working conditions, even though the conditions in our industry are special. We therefore work actively with this, and maintain a close dialogue with the employees regarding their physical and psychological well-being. Safety on board is our highest priority, and therefore, we have many security procedures that are reviewed frequently. We strive for economic growth, but this must never come at the expense of social conditions. With healthy and fit employees, we have the best basis for creating economic growth.

9: Industry, innovation og infrastructure

Innovation and technical development are the basis for being able to develop even better sustainable solutions, which is of great interest to us. Our vessel has been developed with the latest technology, and our ambition is to set new standards for sustainable fishing. We participate in a number of development and research projects to reduce bycatch and to develop technology that ensures that we fish as gently as possible. In the future, we will have an even greater focus on traceability work. This is done actively with full camera surveillance, from the time the fish is caught until it is landed at the factories.

12: Responsible consumption and production

We work actively to promote sustainable consumption, in that the majority of the fish we catch are MSC-certified fish. Together with our industry organization DPPO, we spread knowledge and information about sustainable fishing, in this way we can help inspire the industry to take greater responsibility and the population to always choose sustainable products. We offer study visits, internships and researcher visits, etc. to increase knowledge and interest in sustainable fishing.

14: Life below water

It is in our best interest to promote clean, healthy gardens because our foundation, and the foundation of the next many generations, is built on healthy lush gardens. The MSC certification that most of our fish has helps to ensure a high level of protection for the fish population, the marine environment and the ecosystems. It is very important to us to pick up all the rubbish we come across when we are out fishing. This is collected and brought ashore so that we can help keep our oceans clean.
