How long does it take to sail the squid boat from overseas to Zhoushan?

The cruise takes 2 months.

The long offshore fishing cycle is mainly due to the high replacement cost. If the boat is fishing for squid in Argentina, the company will bear the round-trip air ticket for another person, which costs 20,000 yuan. If there are 20 people on a boat, it's a big expense. Entry fees are high. Sailing into the port consumes fuel. Even if the voyage takes 3 days to arrive at the port, the fuel consumption is 5 tons per day, and the round trip takes 6 days, and the fuel consumption is 30 tons. If substitutions occur during production operations, output will be delayed. When a ship enters the port, it incurs various fees, such as terminal fees, agency fees, etc. Replacing new crew members requires an adaptation period, which delays production. Others are minor issues.

Ocean squid fishing crews mainly work in large foreign fishing grounds such as the Southeast Pacific, Chile, Peru, Argentina, and the Central and Western Pacific. The work is simple, all mechanized operations, light fishing. At present, the daily output of squid fishing in the Southwest Atlantic is generally 3-6 tons, and the daily output of squid fishing in the Southeast Pacific is generally 2-3 tons. Two: squid fishing mainly uses the phototaxis of squid. The squid fishing boat, which is 45 meters long and 7.5 meters wide, has about 20 fishing positions. Each crew member has one fishing position. They each hold a fishing line connected to the machine. There is a needle umbrella on the line, which is placed more than 360 meters below the water level. . When a squid sees a luminous object, it will grab it with its tentacles. The crew will pull up the hooked squid as soon as they feel the touch. Sometimes two are caught with one hook at once. Normally, each boat can catch four to five tons per night. . Three: Because it takes half a month for a squid fishing boat to sail offshore, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth, these squid fishing boats generally have to work and live at sea for half a year after going out. As soon as there are more goods on the ship, the goods are regularly resold to incoming transport ships. Transport ships are also called supply ships. Water, ice, diesel, and vegetables are all brought by these ships. Whenever there is a wind on the ocean, each ship will receive meteorological data via satellite a week in advance and take shelter from the wind. Once a crew member is sick or injured, some ships equipped with doctors on the ocean will come to help with treatment.

Work on a fishing boat is hard. Especially for ocean-going ships, they only return to China once every one or two years (sometimes three years). Most of the ships are shipped overseas, to Africa, South America, etc. Working on a fishing boat is too hard and dangerous. Most ships work day and night, and some can sleep for two or three hours a day. Sometimes I couldn't sleep for three or four days, and the food was good. The iron boat was a good sleeping environment, but the wooden boat was not. When the weather got windy, there was draft from all sides, and there were leaks. Most of the fishing boats do not have internet access, and there is no signal for mobile phones. Almost isolated from the land, there are only a small circle of seven or eight tens, twenty or thirty people. I feel lonely every day. There is a saying, "I would rather get a salary of 3,000 yuan on land than get a salary of 6,000 yuan on a ship." Once the ship goes to sea, there will be no signal on mobile phones, and there are only a few people in the circle. When they are lonely and bored, they drink, gamble and have fun. Many people work until the end of the year to make money. All the money has been spent. When the boat goes out to sea, it usually operates normally under winds of level 8 or 9, regardless of wind, snow or rain. The money you earn is earned by putting your head in your belt and paying for it with your life. There is no more ground on a ship than on land. All kinds of wind and waves keep bumping around. There are very few vegetables in the diet. It has always been the salty taste of the sea. Sleeping is like drifting in a dream. A small space can give people a feeling of suffocation.
