The ship keel-laying is scheduled for May 2021
Saint-Petersburg based Severnaya Verf shipyard says it has started cutting steel for the ninth processing trawler of Project 170701 intended for ROLIZ LLC (a company of NOREBO Group). The ship keel-laying is scheduled for May 2021.
It will be the third trawler of the Group intended for operation in the Far East fishery basin. The ship’s design capacity foresees catching of up to 230 tonnes of fish per day.
As it was reported earlier, Norebo is to invest up to RUB 38.4 billion in construction of 10 processing trawlers. The series is intended for bottom and pelagic trawling, processing and storage of fish. The ships’ multifunctional fish processing plants are intended for production of fillet, minced fish, fish liver and fish flower.
