Marine / New Prolific arrives just before midnight
THE latest addition to Shetland’s fishing fleet – the new 25 metre Prolific LK 986 – arrived at Lerwick harbour late on Thursday night.
She is the sister ship of the new Copious LK985, which arrived in the isles at the end of January.
Both vessels belong to 60 North Fishing (Shetland) and replace two the company’s previous vessels with the same names.
Built at the Croatian Tehnomont shipyard both vessels are fitted with a 588kw engine and have been designed to be more eco-friendly and as such more economical.
