The Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC), in collaboration with Yanmar, has introduced a Refrigerated Seawater (RSW) system to revolutionize fish storage on fishing boats. This initiative, supported by the Ministry of Fisheries through a grant program, aims to boost the efficiency and sustainability of the fishing industry.
The RSW system, developed by Yanmar, includes an engine, generator, and advanced saltwater cooling technology. Designed to quickly cool and maintain the freshness of fish, the system offers a reliable and eco-friendly solution tailored to the needs of fishermen.
According to MTCC, the system ensures high-quality fish preservation while consuming less energy, significantly reducing operating costs for fishermen. The compact and user-friendly design makes it suitable for boats with limited space.
One of the standout features of the RSW system is its use of environmentally friendly R744 refrigerant, which minimizes the environmental impact. This aligns with the Maldives' commitment to protecting its sensitive marine ecosystems.
The adoption of the RSW system is expected to enhance the quality of fish refrigeration, improve fishermen's income, and contribute to a more sustainable fishing industry in the Maldives.
