Norwegian fishing company Nergard Havfiske signed a contract with ship designer Slippurinn Akureyri to build a processing deck on its new freezer trawler.

The vessel will be built at Norwegian shipyard Vard and Slippurinn will supervise the processing deck, along with subcontractors such as Intech, Marel, Baader, and Holmek.

"The contract with Nergard Havfiske is the largest single contract that Slippurinn has made in relation to a vessel's fish processing deck and it is great recognition for us in every way,” said Eirikur Johansson, CEO of Slippurinn in Akureyri.
