Baldvin leaves the Samherji fleet
(ICELAND, 9/30/2017)
After 25 years, freezer trawler Baldvin NC is leaving Samherji fleet as it has now been sold to Poland and will be renamed Polonus.
“The departure of Baldvin NC is a milestone in the history of Samherji, as now, for the first time in 25 years, there is no ship named Baldvin in our fleet”, pointed out Þorsteinn Már Baldvinsson, CEO of Samherji.
The executive stressed that the ship’s excellent condition after all these years is a clear indication that the vessel’s crews have been diligent in taking good care of the ship and also provides proof of high quality design and construction at the time of building.
The 1,500 tonne and 66-metre long vessel was Samherji’s first new built ship in 1992 and in 1999, it was the first Icelandic ship to push the catch value up to one thousand million ISK.
In 2001 the vessel was sold to Deutsche Fischfang Union (DFFU), Samherji’s subsidiary in Germany and was handed over in May 2002.
The last tasks Baldvin NC undertook for DFFU were two successful trips fishing Greenland halibut off the shores of East Greenland.
DFFU will have a new ship in their fleet at the end of the year, Berlin NC 105, which will replace Baldvin NC.
