Rise in Buckie fish landings

FISH landings were on the up at Buckie Harbour over the course of the week gone by, although it remains quiet overall.

Four boats brought ashore 116 boxes of fish/prawn/squid along with 21 bags of clams.

This compares to just 17 boxes the week before. There were, however, far more bags of clams, which numbered 190.

The vessels landing were Lily Oak VI, Summerton, Progress-S and Sharona.

There was a single visitor on the cargo front, the Antiguan-registered MV Pregol Hav, which imported 2092.32 tonnes of salt from Kilroot on March 7. She exported 1893.94 tonnes of malting barley to King's Lynn on March 12.

No cargo boats called the previous week.
