New wellboat enters the fray
The Ronja Challenger, a 1800m3 wellboat, arrived in Mallaig yesterday to start a 5-year contract with Marine Harvest Scotland.
Owned by Sølvtrans and built at Aas Shipyard, in the Norwegian port of Vestnes, the vessel set sail from its native land shortly after Sølvtrans celebrated its 30th anniversary last weekend.
It is the second wellboat that MH Scotland has taken delivery of this year – in April the Inter Calendonia, which is soon to be fitted out with a special desalinisation system to allow it to undertake freshwater treatments for lice and AGD, was delivered from Intership.
