Making IUU compliance simple

Innova MarinePackWith catch registration and traceability now inescapable realities following EU regulations on illegally harvested seafood, Innova MarinePack software from Marel makes compliance simple, reliable and easy to implement

Rodney Macer-Wright, General Manager, Marel SA says the IUU fishing regulations have posed a challenge for South African Fish exporters, who have traditionally not had the setup to package and label their products in the required fashion.

“Should South African companies wish to supply EU countries with seafood products they will have to provide catch certificates and label their products appropriately or else the products will not be accepted in the region,” he adds

Marel is one of the major suppliers of traceability and control systems specifically developed for the food industry. Stable, reliable, flexible and cost-effective to implement, Innova MarinePack is being adopted as the on-board catch registration and packing system of choice by increasing numbers of operators in worldwide as well as in South Africa.

With its vast experience and expertise in the field of traceability, Marel is now making it easy for companies in South Africa to comply with the IUU fishing regulations.
