«The machine has made the work on board much easier. We’re not getting any younger. The shoulder blades are very vulnerable, and the head cutting is the worst. Before, I was exhausted after a day out at sea, now I don’t feel anything. Before and after Loppa, it’s like night and day,» says Breivik.
After receiving good advice from one of the crew members on the «Mats-Erik,» the first boat to use Loppa, Hallgeir Brevik made the decision: Loppa was going on his 36-foot boat «Einevikbuen.» He hasn’t regretted that decision.
«You can’t get more for your money than this. I bring in more fish since it’s much faster to gut them, and at the same time, the strain is reduced,» says Breivik.
He is also impressed with the follow-up he has received after the investment, but most adjustments are easy to make, allowing fishermen to maintain Loppa themselves. «I handle a lot myself, and the machine is easy to maintain,» says Breivik.
