--------------------------------------------------------------------------The 2026 turbot season has started successfully for Arctic Fishery Alliance and its owner Communities of Grise Fiord. Resolute Bay, Arctic Bay and Qikiqtarjuaq.
We have been very busy getting our vessels ready for this fishery . We are a little late posting this update; however, we do want to share our good news at this early stage in the season.
On July 6 Suvak landed her first and only trip of the turbot fishery for 2026. She fished a full load in the 0B Competitive fishery.
We are also very pleased to announce that the next day, on July 7, Kiviuq I also landed with a full load. She also fished the 0B Competitive fishery. For both vessels combined, there was a little over 575 tonnes landed in just 40 fishing days of fishing. (13 days Suvak and 27 days Kiviuq I).
Since our landings in Greenland, Suvak has now returned to port in St John’s NL and Kiviuq I has started on trip 2, in NAFO area OA. Kiviuq I is more than adequately equipped to catch all of AFA’s quota with ease. We will finish our 2026 season at least 4-6 weeks quicker then any other year in AFA’s history. Note that Kiviuq I can unconditionally do this on its own without Suvak’s participation
Our Operations Manager visited Nuuk, Greenland to help with the logistics for both vessels and crew. This helped them get ready for their next assignments, Kiviuq I for Trip # 2 and Suvak’s return to St. John’s.
Prior to visiting Greenland, our Operations Manager took our research vessel, Kiviuq II to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for its annual refit. This went well and the vessel is now back in St. John’s getting ready for another season of research with the Ocean Tracking Group. We also have plans in motion to secure other research projects for Kiviuq II.
This season is shaping up to be successful for us all Now we would like to share a few pictures.
