The contract between Aflarinn ehf. and the Directorate of Fisheries expires on January 1st, 2024, and it will not be possible to use their services for the submission of catch information from that date. Vessel operators who are using the service of the Aflarinn when submitting catch information must therefore look for a new service provider.
