New-generation Altaire joins Shetland fleet
There’s been a long series of pelagic vessels sailing from Shetland under the Altaire name, with the last few built at Norwegian yards. However, this time around, the Altaire Fishing Company opted to build at Karstensens in Skagen, with the new vessel built to the yard’s own design. According to Kent Damgaard at Karstensens Skibsværft, there has been a longstanding working relationship between the yard and the owners of Altaire, which has been a regular caller at the Skagen yard for repairs and maintenance.
