Trawler becomes Crabber/Seiner
Former Scottish pelagic trawler Unity, sold last year to Norway, has gone through a major transformation to become advanced seine netter and crabber K. Nyvoll – which include being lengthened from 38 metres to 53.20 metres. K. Nyvoll was built in 2005 as Julianne at the Simek yard in Flekkefjord for Lunar Fisheries of Lunenburg in Nova Scotia. After some years fishing in Canada, it was sold in 2008 to Norwegian company Asbjørn Selsbane and renamed Julianne to operate as a trawler and seine netter. A few years on, it was sold in 2013 to Unity Fishing in Scotland and was used for pelagic fishing. A further change of hands took place last year when, LHN Fiskeri AS, based on the island Godøya near Ålesund acquired the vessel – and they had some big plans. Photos, >click to read< 18:38
