News / Watch new Serene being launched in Poland
A NEW 82-metre pelagic trawler made for the Whalsay based Serene Fishing Company has been launched in Poland.
A ceremony for the partly-outfitted vessel took place in Gdansk on 1 February. The new Serene is due to be handed over to its owners later this year.
She was built by Nauta Shiprepair Yard and will be completed at Denmark’s Karstensens Skibsvaerft.
The old Serene was sold to new Norwegian owners last year.
