Icelandic fishing company Síldarvinnslan says its offer to buy a 90-metre freezer trawler has been accepted, with the purchase agreement still being finalised. The vessel, which has a fishmeal and fish oil plant, is intended to replace the older Blængur in the company's fleet renewal.
The ship was reportedly ordered by a Russian operator but left undelivered because of US sanctions.
This is a fleet-level transaction with negligible effect on grain or feed commodity supply and demand. It adds marginal fishmeal processing capacity in the North Atlantic over the longer term.
