The equipment will be delivered from four of the company’s eight production facilities in the Nordic countries, three in Norway and one in Sweden.
One of the ships is to be named Vilhelm Þorsteinsson and has been ordered by the ship-owning company Samherji, while the other vessel is to be named Börkur and will be built for Sildarvinnslan. GorWay has cooperated with Icelandic companies for several years on developing large fishing vessels.
