Hybrid fishing vessel from Vard

The hull of the vessel will be built at the Romanian yard of the Group in Braila whilst the final outfitting and the delivery, scheduled in the first quarter of 2022, will be carried out by the Norwegian yard of Brattvaag.

The vessel will be the first operating in the Faroe Islands whose project has been fully designed by Vard. It will be 84m with a beam of 16.7m and accommodation for 25.

The design is based on a new-generation model which implements the latest and most advanced technologies in terms of efficiency and environmentally-friendly protection of the marine environment and crew.

To secure high quality of the fish, all the catch will be directly processed on board, packed and stored in freezers or refrigerators powered by biomass. The trawler will be equipped with a live fish tank to keep the fish healthy and fresh until processing, an advanced fish processing factory and high cargo capacity for refrigerated and frozen fish.
