At 49.95m long and 13.2m wide, Torland (B-447) and Tor-Ön (B-448) will be modern pelagic trawlers, built for Sweden-based Torönland Fiskeri to target Baltic Sea sprat and North Sea sandeel, sprat, herring and mackerel.
Nauta has been working with Karstensens Skibsvaerft since the opening of its newbuild division in Gdańsk, in September 2013.

In total, there are 12 vessels for different customers from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the UK in Nauta’s orderbook.
