Newbuild arctic freezer trawler launch
Tersan Shipyard Inc has launched a new Arctic Freezer Trawler bound for the Faroe Islands
The NB1105 Arctic Freezer Trawler, to be named Emerald, is 87,40 metres long and 18 metres wide. It is an advanced factory trawler arranged for triple trawling with four winches and prepared for a fifth winch to be added if required.
When completed, the vessel will be laid out with a fillet production factory deck, a shrimp processing line and a fish meal and fish oil plant providing large capacity for handling pelagic species. Fish room capacity will be 2250 cubic metres, giving the vessel an overall 1000 tonnes capacity.
The Skipsteknik designed vessel has accommodation area for 40 people on board and is capable for efficiently trawling in icy and arctic waters. The vessel is planned to be delivered to P/F Havborg of the Faroe Islands in the last quarter of 2022.
