Last Friday 15th February C.N.P.FREIRE, S.A (Freire shipyard) held the naming ceremony of the arctic stern trawler vessel “Markus” for the Greenlander companies Qajaq Trawl A/S y Polar Seafood A/S.
This 80 m long vessel is the first to be named of the two modern state -of the- art identical stern trawlers being built to catch shrimps in the Arctic for these companies; she is fitted with the latest equipment available and one of her most important characteristics is her high level of automatization and efficiency in terms of fuel consumption.
With these vessels Freire strengthens its worldwide status as shipbuilders of fishing vessels with a highly technological added value.
Representatives of both owner companies as well as of the shipyard attended the ceremony that took place at the Port of Vigo; godmother, Rhea Helimann, dressed in a colourful traditional Greenlander costume said she was very excited to be able to share this important event with all the attendees.
