Final <str<strong>on</strong>g>Report</str<strong>on</strong>g> RoO Derogati<strong>on</strong> under <strong>the</strong> PACP-IEPA The third development in <strong>the</strong> French fleet is <strong>the</strong> emergence <strong>of</strong> Sapmer as a new player in tuna purse seining. Previously, Réuni<strong>on</strong>-based Sapmer specialised in tuna l<strong>on</strong>glining. It commissi<strong>on</strong>ed <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> three new purse seiners from 2007 <strong>on</strong>wards. 286 As a very recent investment in purse seining this represents ano<strong>the</strong>r positive outlook for future pr<strong>of</strong>itability. However, <strong>the</strong> major difference from <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> EU DWF is that at least part <strong>of</strong> this catch will not be processed in<strong>to</strong> canned tuna. Sapmer’s business plan is based <strong>on</strong> catching and processing for diversified markets, including processing vacuum packed porti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> tuna and o<strong>the</strong>r pelagic species at its Mer des Mascareignes fac<strong>to</strong>ry in Mauritius, which was built in 2009. 287 This is major innovati<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> standard business model <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> EU DWF and is based <strong>on</strong> higher value market segments and higher product quality than canned tuna. 288 Sapmer faces two challenges. The <strong>on</strong>going ec<strong>on</strong>omic slump in <strong>the</strong> EU and elsewhere may generate a reluctance am<strong>on</strong>g some EU residents <strong>to</strong> pay more for freshchilled or frozen tuna porti<strong>on</strong>s. In additi<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong> incidence <strong>of</strong> piracy in <strong>the</strong> Western Indian Ocean may affect raw material supply as all Sapmer vessels are currently based <strong>the</strong>re. Perhaps in an effort <strong>to</strong> counter <strong>the</strong> latter dynamic, Sapmer has expressed interest in establishing a high value frozen yellowfin loin processing facility for export <strong>to</strong> Asian markets in PNG (see Secti<strong>on</strong> 3.2.3). 286 C<strong>on</strong>structed in C<strong>on</strong>carneau, France by Piriou Group, and in Vietnam by a subsidiary <strong>of</strong> Piriou Group. 287 Sapmer 2011. 288 See Hamilt<strong>on</strong> et al. 2011: Chapter 8 for an overview <strong>of</strong> this n<strong>on</strong>-canned market segment.
