New Altaire arrives in Lerwick
THE NEW 80 metre Altaire LK429 fishing trawler has arrived in Lerwick after her maiden trip from the Danish shipyard Karstensens Skibsværft in Skagen.
The large pelagic trawler was ordered in December 2020.
The yard said the new design focuses on crew wellbeing, low emissions and catch quality.
The Altaire is owned by a partnership that includes two local shareholders as well as the Plymouth based fishing agents Interfish.
