FS Abergeldie leaving Ulstein Verft

Ready for new adventures.

After a few weeks in our dock hall, FS Abergeldie shines as bright as the day she hit the water for the first time. A new coat of paint provides a fresh glow and protection for the rough conditions she operates in. 
 
During her stay, FS Abergeldie has completed a 15-year survey, replaced four tunnel thrusters, and overhauled two rudders and two main propeller facilities in addition to minor maintenance work. 

From start to finish, the experience at Ulstein Verft has been positive. Every challenge was met and overcome with professionalism and efficiency. Quality of workmanship and attention to detail throughout the project were of the highest standard. As company project manager for this vessel, I have no reservations in recommending the yard and the team for future projects with our fleet.
