60 North Fishing director welcomes arrival of new Prolific
The new 25-metre Prolific arrived in Lerwick late last night (Thursday), much to owner Mark Anderson’s relief. She is the sister ship of the new Copious LK985, which arrived in the isles at the end of January. Both vessels belong to 60 North Fishing (Shetland) and replace two of the company’s previous vessels with the same names. “Both of the boats were nine months late, each of them, in being delivered,” Anderson said. “We sold the previous boats, first one in April last year and the second one in the end of June… so it’s been a long time coming.” Photos, >click to read< 08:39

The vessel completed her delivery trip to Shetland, through the Mediterranean, up the west coast of Portugal, Spain and Ireland, arriving in Shetland on the morning of the 14th January just in time for the islands fire festival Up Helly Aa. The second vessel to be named ‘Prolific’ is set to be delivered later in the year. Photos, >click to read< 08:01
