Marine Instruments, Nautical, and Silecmar, companies of Grupo Arbulu, have signed a collaboration agreement with ANACEF to promote the development and adoption of new technologies aimed at making fishing operations more efficient, safer, and more sustainable.

Through this partnership, ANACEF and Grupo Arbulu reaffirm their shared commitment to innovation and collaboration as key drivers of the transformation of the fishing industry.
