An order has been placed for the world’s first combined fishing and aquaculture vessel.
The Norwegian shipbuilder Larsnes Mek has signed a contract to build the boat for Myre Kystdrift AS, a seafood business based in Vesterålen, Nordland.
When completed in late 2024 it will operate as a dual seine net vessel and a farmed fish harvest boat, making it the first of its kind.
