New fishing vessel finnur fríði departs from skagen, denmark, en route to faroe islands

Last night, the new fishing vessel “Finnur Fríði,” built by Varðin Gøtu, departed from Skagen, Denmark, and is currently en route to the Faroe Islands.

“Finnur Fríði” is expected to arrive in Gøtu tomorrow, where it will be officially christened, followed by a public reception.

Varðin signed a contract with Karstens Shipyard in Skagen for the construction of “Finnur Fríði” in 2021. The hull was built in Poland, and the finishing touches were completed in Skagen.

The vessel is 88 meters long and 16.5 meters wide. It features environmentally friendly technology, and its engine is designed to accommodate future fuels such as methanol and ammonia.

“Finnur Fríði” has a capacity of 3,000 tons.

Plans are in place for the vessel to commence fishing operations as early as next week.
