The Xunta delegate in Ferrol, Martina Aneiros, visited the Ferrol Fishermen's Guild this morning to learn about an innovation and efficiency project in the transport of fishing products. This initiative was launched by a member of the guild thanks to aid from the Consellería do Mar (Ministry of the Sea), through the Local Participatory Development Strategies (EDLP) and with the collaboration of the Local Action Group for the Fishing Sector (GALP) Golfo Ártabro Norte.
The project aims to modernize the transport and distribution of fresh fishing products by acquiring a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) refrigerated van. The promoter is also involved in the retail sale of seafood products.
The total investment amounted to over 40,700 euros. This funding will improve logistics, ensure the cold chain during transport, and enhance product quality and traceability. Furthermore, the incorporation of a plug-in hybrid vehicle will contribute to modernizing the activity with a more efficient and environmentally friendly transport solution.
This project is among those financed by the latest call for aid from Fempa, which has a budget of 10.3 million euros for the 2026-2027 period.
