Two North Uist-based brothers have purchased a new fishing vessel, thanks to a six-figure funding package from Royal Bank of Scotland.
Konrad and Kamil Kosieradzki, owners of K&K Fishing, moved to North Uist, Scotland, from Poland following a one-year university placement on the island in 2004, and established successful scallop fishing business, K&K Fishing, in 2009.
The new scallop vessel, which will be only the second new fishing boat under 15 meters to operate from the Outer Hebrides in the past 10 years, will be tailor-made to the business’s requirements and will improve operational efficiency, including an up to 40 percent reduction in fuel costs, said a press announcement issued in April.
