Last Friday was RI 568 Jette Mona
baptized. The ship will be handed over to skipper Verner Møller
this week, Verner Møller also owns the main part of RI 469
Juli-Ane.
The ships RI 409 Karen Kinch, H 276 Savannah,
RI 268 Jette Mona II and RI 568 Juli-Ane II have all been scrapped
for the FAS2 package. The skipper recieved a grant for the
scrapping of the old ships which was reinvested in the fishery.
One year after his order Verner Møller got the newly built ship
nr.286 from the Vestværftet Shipyard.
"We ordered a new vessel to better our business. Because of the
fuel package FAS2 we were forced to reinvest our government grant
in a project with a reduction in capacity and a fuel saving of
minimum 30%" says Fishing skipper Verner Møller.
The ship is equipped for both shrimpfishing and
two-trawling. RI 568 Jette Mona will start with trawl fishing and
wait until shrimp prices will hopefully get better. "We hope that
the prices soon have reached the bottom line and will begin to
rise again" says Verner Møller.
The vessel is also a part of the International
Cooperation "North Sea MSC", where eight Danish two-trawl vessels
have partnered with Dutch trawlers and the company Ecofish.
Ecofish are the first to have their fishery MSC certified.
"I hope to get to sail with both ships, if my crew has use for me"
says Verner Møller with a smile after a period where most of his
business occurred on land, where he closely followed the
construction of the new ship. If Verner does not sail RI 568 Jette
Mona himself Kristian Villadsen will become skipper on the
combined boat.
The Vestværftet shipyard was chosen for two reasons: design and
functionality. "When you invest many millions in a project, it is
also important that you like the look and design, but of course
the ships' functionality comes first" says Verner Møller, who
believes that the shipyard manages to achieve the best combination
of precisely these factors and he is very pleased with the ship's
structure and appearance.
