Poland’s Nauta Shiprepair Yard has acquired a new contract for a newbuild purse seiner trawler for a Danish operator during the Danfish fishing exhibition.
The new vessel, which will be built for Karstensens Skibsvaerft AS, will measure 69.95m long and 15.0m wide when completed. It will be a sister ship of seiner Haugagut (B-691) launched in August 2014. Delivery is planned for August 2016.
Similar to other units of the same type, the new seiner will be equipped with tanks for transporting live fish and modern electronic fishing solutions.
It will also be equipped with a main propulsion diesel engine and modern technical solutions and electronic fishing policy. Individual to this vessel a azimuth thruster will be fitted that was not installed to the previous units in the series.
For Nauta, it is the ninth order from Karstensens Skibsvaerft AS. Last month Nauta delivered three similar ships to the same company and a further three units are also under construction.
Nauta Ship Repair Yard specialises in building vessels and hulls, repairs and classification inspections of civilian crafts, as well as repairs and rebuilding of military crafts. The shipyard is also getting increasingly involved in newbuilds and production of steel offshore structures.
Having been established for over 80 years, Nauta has performed numerous extensive repairs on various types of ships. It has also designed and built nearly 500 fishing and special purpose vessels.
