The fuel crisis has hit the fishing sector. The first boats stopped in Ondarroa
The increase in diesel prices has forced part of the high-altitude fleet to remain in port, while the sector is demanding additional support to ensure its viability.
Some high-rise fishing vessels in Ondarroa have not gone out to work due to rising fuel price costs . For the time being, five vessels have decided not to go out to fish, but the sector itself is planning to add more vessels in the coming days.
The Association of High Level Fishing Shipowners of Ondarroa has explained that due to the rise of diesel oil it is not possible to go out to sea without loss despite the aid of 20 cents per litre provided by the Spanish Government, to which must be added the early closure of the verdel campaign, further reducing the chances of profitability.
In this context, the sector believes that the activity is currently unworkable and has asked the Basque Government and the Ministry of Fisheries for more aid to compensate for the increase in fuel prices, as well as for a higher share of verdel, and they have criticised the fact that for the fourth consecutive year there are fleets receiving compensation for not fishing the quota.
The increase in costs also affects other sectors. The Bizkaia transport business association has also warned that the current aid is insufficientand that the increase in expenditure will eventually lead to prices, which will have a direct impact on consumers.
At the same time, the Eurybor continues its upward trend, with the largest increase in 18 months, with a monthly average of around 2.5%, making mortgages reviewed for the first time in two years more expensive.
