BarentsNews philosophy »
Our business idea is based on the fact that high-quality information has a significant commercial value in any business. Fishing industry is not an exception - all business decisions on both strategic and operative level depend on always updated, complete and reliable information.
We concentrate our efforts on the area of Barents Sea because of two main reasons:
- On one hand we mean that this region is challenging and exiting. Barents Sea represents a great mix of many participating nations, cultures and business traditions. With so many events happening all the time, Barents Sea deserves an own surveillance source.
- On the other hand we do originally come from this region and benefit from long practical experience, particularly trading activity, and have a significant network among important players in fishing industry of Russia and Norway.
We use both fishing industry and authorities as information sources. This combination of professional engagement and independent point of view gives us a reliable and complete overview of business and industrial situation in Barents Sea.
We have chosen Internet as a communication channel, and it is not an accidental choice. There are two main reasons for that:
- We have recourses in our organization which are capable of managing Internet technology in a professional way based on many years of practical experience.
- Internet entirely meets today’s requirements to an information service:
- It has to be an easy and fast way to find the information which supports business decisions.
- Business has to be done anytime and anywhere.
- Information has to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
