About this simulation

A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional), module 0805 Pesca de altura y gran altura (Tecnico Superior en Transporte Maritimo y Pesca de Altura, Real Decreto 1691/2011).

The learner is the newly qualified officer who plans the fishing of a fictional 42-metre freezer trawler from a fictional port of A Marina (Lugo) working Gran Sol and the NAFO grounds, over four years. Eight decisions over four rounds: the zone and the target species, the length of the trip and the hold, the landing obligation and the year's quota, the transhipment and the close of the four years.

Scored on catch value reached, cost per tonne landed, catch lost and legal and safety incidents; three tempting choices come back later, and two critical errors (unwanted catch thrown overboard unrecorded, a transhipment at sea in Union waters) cap the round. Lesson: under the landing obligation, fishing selectively is making money. Spanish primary, English parity.

All vessels, ports, buyers, companies and people are fictional.

Who it is for

An introductory simulation that assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, designed for undergraduate courses. It also works in vocational and high-school programmes and in onboarding sessions.

How a session runs

  2. Participants play 4 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results. The first round opens with: lunes 17 de enero de 2028, 8:00: la zona y las especies.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.
