About Kirkella

Kirkella is a British cod and haddock freezer trawler based in Kingston upon Hull, England. Part of the UK's distant waters fishing fleet, the vessel was registered in June 2018, is 81 m (266 ft) long, has a 16 m (52 ft) beam, and measures 3,976 gross tons. The crew's accommodation contains a gym and cinema. Kirkella's catch and access arrangements fell within agreements made by the EU within Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (NEAFC and NAFO) and with Denmark (on behalf of Greenland and the Faroe Islands) and Norway. Normally fishing off-Norway contributed a large part of the catch, but after the UK's exit from the European Union, the UK government was unable to immediately establish mutual access agreements with their Norwegian counterparts., and the Kirkella spent part of the year unable to fish.
