Tersan Shipyard delivers Gadus

Measuring 88.1 metres in length and with a width of 18.3 metres, Gadus is an advanced, technologically-sophisticated factory trawler capable of triple trawling and designed to operate as a multi-rigger with four trawl winches.

It is outfitted with a shrimp factory, an advanced fillet factory and a fishmeal and fish oil plant. In addition to the fish process technologies on board, there will be also an arrangement for freezing pelagic species.

The Skipsteknisk-designed vessel has accommodation for 43 people onboard with spacious living areas.

Gadus has been built compatible with the Ice class regulations so that it is capable of efficiently trawling in icy, Arctic waters.

The vessel departed from the shipyard on 3 October 2023 and arrived in the Faroes on 15 October for its naming ceremony.

Gadus is the second trawler that Tersan has delivered for Faroese owners in the last three months.
