Keeping Fuel Flowing for Iceland’s Fishing Industry

Keeping Fuel Flowing for Iceland’s Fishing Industry

With vessels working in the harsh North Atlantic, Iceland’s fishing industry operates in some of the world’s most demanding conditions. Fishing forms an important part of the country’s economy, so dependable equipment is essential both at sea and back in harbour.

For almost a decade, working with our trade distributors, Hytek has supplied our FC10 fuel management systems to keep fuel flowing for Iceland’s fishing industry.. To date, the customer operates 65 FC10 systems across its sites, helping manage access to fuel and keep day-to-day refuelling operations running smoothly.

Supporting a Large and Varied Fleet

Of the 65 FC10 systems in operation, 15 are used at haulage yards and a large aluminium production plant. The remaining 50 systems are installed in harbours, supporting the fuel requirements of Iceland’s extensive fishing fleet.

With equipment positioned in exposed coastal environments, choosing a fuel management system capable of standing up to the conditions was an important consideration.

Built for Demanding Environments

The FC10’s stainless-steel construction makes it particularly well suited to challenging outdoor installations, helping it withstand harsh Atlantic weather and the demands of frequent everyday use.

The FC10 also helps customers maintain greater control over their fuel by allowing authorised users to access fuel automatically, while recording the amount dispensed. For busy harbour operations, this provides a straightforward way to manage fuel access and maintain accurate records without adding unnecessary complexity to the refuelling process.

A Proven Fuel Management Solution

From haulage yards and industrial sites to harbours serving fishing vessels, the scale and variety of these installations demonstrate the versatility of the FC10, and the installations supporting operations in Iceland are an example of how Hytek products are being used around the world to provide reliable fuel management in environments where dependable equipment matters.
