Fishing-industrial logistics – a special trend in logistics

ABSTRACT

This paper gives the definition of the structure of “fishing-industrial logistics” and the area of its application. The concept of fishing-industrial logistics is determined by the specifics of such basic processes as: fishery, production of fish products directly on fishing vessels, the transport service of the fishing fleet, and ensuring the safety of navigation and fishery. The basic principles, basic structural logistics objects of the fishing-industrial logistics and links between them are defined. A simplified scheme of the fishing area of the fishing-industrial logistics system is given as an illustration. A systematic approach to the management of fishing fleet activity and its interaction with coastal fish-processing enterprises is used to solve the specific logistical problems. Optimization of fishing vessels’ location in the fishing grounds is considered as an example of the design of transport and logistics systems of the fishing fleet.
