P&P, Samherji's UK whitefish trawler on Brexit warning mission

The UK’s largest whitefish trawler sailed up the Thames Tuesday calling attention to Brexit threats to the fishing industry, reported The Guardian.

The Kirkella, owned by Hull-based UK Fisheries -- a 50/50 Joint Venture of Icelandic fishing giant Samherji, and Dutch giant Parlevliet van der Plas (P&P), was named Kirkella by Princes Anne at a ceremony at the Thames.

According to The Guardian, owners of Kirkella warn if the Brexit negotiations fail, they will lose automatic access to key waters of the Arctic, Greenland, Norway and the northeast Atlantic.
