VARD 8 03 trawler design
The stern trawler has been developed by VARD in close cooperation with DFFU. The VARD 8 03 trawler design, developed by Vard Design in Ålesund, is developed to meet the latest demands for fish health management, efficiency, and environmentally friendly operations. With a high focus on quality of catch, safety of crew, and sustainable operations, the vessel has the most efficient technology to bring the catch ashore with minimum environmental footprint.
Incredible teamwork and dedication
- I`m thrilled to announce the successful delivery of newbuild 931 to DFFU. We are proud to be a part of this highly innovative project and being the preferred partner for DFFU. I would like to thank the remarkable team in VARD for navigating challenges together and delivering the vessel with precision. This achievement is a testament to the incredible teamwork and dedication, says CEO in Vard Group, Alberto Maestrini.
Baldvin Thorsteinsson and Samuel Rodriguez, Managing Directors at DFFU says:
- The delivery of Berlin is pivotal for DFFU, and VARD has done an excellent job. Over the years, VARD has built several technologically advanced vessels, consistently meeting the highest standard with their craftsmanship and innovation. Berlin is equipped with advanced technical solutions from trusted partners. One significant change with this new vessel is its shrimp-catching and processing capabilities, enlarging the portfolio of products produced onboard.
