Ship history
Delivered Tuesday 14 January 1969. Godmother Mrs. Signhild Johannesen. At the christening, the shipping company was also represented by corresponding shipowner Tummas Ørv, who was also chairman of the shipowners' association, and board members Simon Johannesen, Anfinn Joensen and Reinhard Djurhus, the latter of whom was to be skipper of 'Nordbugvin'. After the handover trip, where the skipper performed three large rounds with full starboard rudder, in line with Faroese custom, before manager Magnulf Ulstein at Ulstein mech. could hoist his workshop flag and hand over the boat to the shipowners' association, there was a big dinner at Ulstein Hospits.
The first boat to have the new Ulstein stabilization system installed, which was developed in collaboration with the ship model tank in Trondheim. This was the first Norwegian stabilization system to be installed in a fishing boat. In the private room, a large number of cheat hatches were placed on the ship's side, for use when cheating. The working deck was equipped with a line winch, a de-angle box, bins for round fish, a blubber and a bounce box, spotting benches, rinsing boxes, etc. Part of the gangsten was filleted, and for this process a plate cutter was installed at the front of the working deck, from which the finished fillet was brought to freezing in two freezer rooms of 45 m3 each. From freezing, the fillet went to the cutter room aft of 170 m3. The rest of the catch went to salting in the salt fish room, which was about 500 m3. Both the freezer and salting rooms had an unusually large capacity for a boat of this size. Setting, both of line and net, was done from the stern. All furnishings were placed aft on the main deck, with ample space for 12 men in comfortable 3-, 2- and 1-man cabins. Below deck, another 12 men were accommodated in 3-man cabins. In the superstructure on the shelter deck was the captain's lounge and bedroom and two 1-man cabins. The ship had ice class +1A1. On the technical trial, the ship made 12.5 knots.
