New pelagic catcher joins Icelandic fleet
With its new vessel, Gjögur has followed the trend away from processing at sea – new Hákon is a pelagic trawler/purse seiner with purely RSW capacity. The newbuild is one of a pair of identical vessels for owners in Iceland ordered from the Karstensen yard in Denmark. Its sister vessel is being built for Hornafjörður company Skinney-Thinganes.
