- At a crossroads
-
Russian ships in Faroese harbours have been an everyday occurrence in the Faroe Islands for decades, but the historic cooperation with Russia is at a crossroads.
- Update
-
Today, 8 December, the Ministry of Fisheries has entered into an agreement with Russia on a new fisheries agreement for next year. This means that after the New Year, Faroese and Russian fishing vessels can continue to enjoy each other's fish stocks, writes DR.dk.
The fisheries agreement between the Faroe Islands and Russia has existed since 1977. It gives Faroese shipping companies access to fish for cod in the Barents Sea, in exchange for Russian ships being able to fish blue whiting in Faroese waters.
