3 questions to Jean-Pascal CODDEVILLE from OGEP

Every month, learn more about our members in 3 questions! This month, Jean-Pascal CODDEVILLE of Opale Gestion Pêche (OGEP) answers our questions.

What is your business activity?

OGEP (Opale Gestion Pêche) is a management group for fishing vessels. It provides a service of pure accounting (with the same requirements of confidentiality as a classic accounting firm) and helps ship owners in their choices and orientations by offering a service exclusively oriented towards the maritime activity in its various areas of specialisation. This can be work of the assembly or the follow-up of the files of subsidies or of the follow-up of the maritime labour regulation and its repercussions on the employment contracts and the pay of the crew.

For whom are your products/services intended?

Our services are aimed at ship owners.

Why is innovation and research important in your sector of activity?

Innovation and research make the fishing industry evolve, for example, in terms of modernisation of vessels. Membership in AQUIMER allows us to be kept informed of new developments in the sector in order to better advise shipowners, mainly at the level of calls for projects for the various subsidies.
