The christening and launching ceremony of FV 'NORDBORG' was taken
place on February 20 2008. The 83,5m fishing vessel is designed
for pelagic fishing by Rolls Royce Marine, Norway, and is
currently being built at the newbuilding slipway of the Industrial
Plant of ASMAR in Talcahuano (Chile) to be delivered in the mid
2008.
This is one of the most complex fishing vessels and with the
latest technology ever built by the local shipyard since she has
an on-board processing plant for filleting and packing fish for
human consumption and will also be equipped with a highly
efficient fish meal and oil processing plant which will make use
of 100% of the process's discards and waste.
High authorities and executives of the local and Faeroese fishing
industry was invited to the ceremony.
The shipbuilding contract amounted to approximately US$ 40 million
was signed on May 27, 2006.
