Myklebust Verft signs shipbuilding contract

Myklebust Verft has entered a shipbuilding contract for a new pelagic trawler with the Scottish shipowner Sunbeam Fishing Limited. The delivery of the vessel from the yard is scheduled for the turn of 2025/2026. The newbuild will be the 79th vessel delivered by the shipyard and classed by Bureau Veritas. The ship’s design is by SALT Ship Design and belongs to the SALT 0364 type.

-          This is very exciting for all of us at Myklebust, says CEO Kristin Hide. We have been looking forward to adding a newbuild to our project portfolio, and this will provide us with greater stability in our order book. In the project, we have the involvement of numerous local suppliers providing both equipment and services from the maritime cluster. The vessel type falls within a segment that Myklebust has extensive experience with, and we are really looking forward to getting started with the task at hand.
