The vessel is being built for Sunbeam Fishing Ltd. of Fraserburgh. The family-owned company is regarded as one of the most experienced players in Scotland’s pelagic sector.
The new Sunbeam replaces a 56-metre trawler from 1999. The new vessel is 73 metres long and 15.6 metres wide.
The hull was launched at Ba Son Shipyard in Vietnam on 11 July, before the long tow to Norway began. The journey drew media attention during a stop near the Canary Islands in October.
