IN BRIEF - Is the number of dried seaweed similar to the previous fishing season?

JAPAN
Tuesday, March 05, 2024

This season's dried nori production is slow due to factors such as high water temperatures and lack of nutrients, and this is an unusual situation, with scheduled joint sales dates being canceled one after another across the country.

In the previous fishing season, the final number of fish was 4.8 billion pieces, an unprecedented decrease in production, and wholesalers had high hopes for this season's production, but it is now possible that production will be at the same level as the previous fishing season.

According to the results of joint sales of dried seaweed by the Fisheries Federation (November 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024) compiled by the National Fisheries Federation's Nori Business Promotion Council as of March 1, the overall number of sheets has increased compared to the same period last year. The number of tickets sold was 3,409.6 million, an increase of 2%, and the amount was 76,320,150,000 yen, an increase of 14%.

Due to the significantly lower quantity, the average price per piece was 22.38 yen, 2.41 yen higher than the same period last year. As with the previous fishing season, market prices have continued to be quite strong, and seaweed product manufacturers are being forced to consider raising prices. [....]

IN BRIEF - Tsakos closing Montevideo naval operations

URUGUAY
Tuesday, March 05, 2024

The Greek company Tsakos announced it was closing its naval operations in Uruguay but will keep other investments in the South American country, it was reported in Montevideo after early versions that the firm was departing altogether.

Tsakos' decision will result in 200 people losing their jobs, due to which both the labor union and the National Ports Administration were given due notice, it was explained. Since an accident at the Montevideo docks on Dec. 8, 2022, Tsakos tried to find a new dock to keep up operations in the Port of Montevideo. After months of negotiations, bidding, and cost appraisals, Tsakos was unable to access a suitable floating dock.

“After having exhausted all the options that were on the table and despite the great support received from the Uruguayan government and the best disposition of all our staff, Tsakos Industrias Navales has been forced to make the sad decision to close its operations in the country,” the company said in a statement.

However, according to Ámbito citing “company sources” Tsakos will remain in Uruguay doing business in renewable energies, agro-forestry, and real estate, in addition to the cultural activities of the María Tsakos Foundation.

Meanwhile, the Executive Committee of the National Union of Metal Workers and Related Branches (Untmra) urged the Uruguayan government “to contribute with the necessary solutions for the work of Uruguayans,” because Montevideo “needs a dam.”
