Faroese pelagic vessel Katrin Jóhanna has done well on blue whiting this year, and we caught up with skipper Árni Dalsgaard between seasons.

Katrin Jóhanna has just been in Fuglafjørður where they discharged their Blue Whiting to Havsbrún. They had been on a quick trip where they filled up the hull with only four hauls.

When new Icelandic trawler Börkur was delivered last year, the choice of doors went to a pair of Vónin’s Twisters. We spoke to skipper Hjörvar Hjálmarsson to get his feedback on how these doors have performed. “I am highly satisfied. We have been in all types of fishery - capelin, herring, mackerel and blue whiting since we got the Twister trawl doors. Each fishery has its own challenges, but the Twister trawl doors have not disappointed and have performed very well on every occasion,” he said.

New shrimp trawler Nataarnaq, docked in Nuuk for the first time at the end of last year after the delivery trip from the Murueta Shipyard in The latest in a series of sophisticated freezer shrimp trawlers designed by Norwegian company Skipsteknisk, Nataarnaq has four electrical permanent magnet trawl winches allowing it to tow three trawls.
