Frøya, July 11 2023
Frøy has signed a 5-year time-charter contract for the wellboat Frøy Saga with a leading Norwegian salmon farmer. The vessel is currently under construction and is expected to be delivered during autumn 2024.
Frøy Saga is a sister vessel of the newbuild Gåsø Odin that was delivered in April this year. The vessel is designed for optimal fish welfare, meeting both the current and expected future requirements for fish welfare in terms of circulation, oxygenation, filtration and UV. The vessel will also have underpressure grading with extraction of all types of cleaning fish, and clean and smooth well surfaces that optimize the hygiene results of the automatic washing system. The vessel will be equipped with a diesel electric propulsion system and battery package to reduce the fuel consumption and carbon footprint.
Head of wellboats in Frøy, Andreas Moe comments: “We are proud to announce this new contract for Frøy Saga with an important long-term client of Frøy. The agreement reflects the client’s confidence in our ability to deliver industry leading operations and fish welfare solutions. We look forward to continue growing the Frøy service offering and to continue adding value to our clients operations.”
