HB Grandi's new fresher trawler, Engey RE, was delivered on March 2 from the Celiktrans Deniz Insaat yard in Turkey.
Engey RE was launched at a ceremony attended by Torfi Thorsteinsson, groundfish manager at HB Grandi, Bjarni Gíslason, fleet manager in charge of the fresher trawlers, and skipper Frioleifur Einarsson, among others.
The trawler is the first of a series of three freshers contracted by HB Grandi with Celiktrans to replace some of the company’s current groundfish fleet.
The other two trawlers -- Akurey AK and Videy RE -- are expected to be delivered in spring 2016 and fall of 2017, respectively.
