Warp spooling is pure genius, says Helga María’s skipper

“This machine is pure genius. It went like a dream and the surprise was how quickly it was all done,” said skipper Friðleifur Einarsson of Brim’s fresher trawler Helga María, referring to Hampiðjan’s new mobile wire tensioning unit which is used to spool warps onto winch drums under constant tension.
