‘Fosnafjord’ named in Bildudalur
On the hottest day of the year, Fosnafjord, an impressive 25 × 13 metre catamaran, was named in a fitting ceremony.
In brief
The service vessel Fosnafjord was named in Bildudalur, Iceland, in front of customers, manufacturers and owners.
The 25 × 13 metre catamaran is Abyss’ second vessel in Iceland and will carry out vessel service assignments along the north-west coast. The naming marks an important milestone in the company’s long-term investment in the country.
Around 40 representatives of customers, manufacturers and owners attended the event.
Built by Salthammer, Fosnafjord was delivered to Arnarlax and Arctic Fish in autumn 2022 and will carry out important vessel service assignments for customers along Iceland’s north-west coast. This is Abyss’ second vessel operating in Iceland and a clear sign of the company’s ambitions in the country.
Fosnafjord is a real workhorse, equipped for operations in Iceland. This will be our second vessel operating in Iceland, and it sends a clear signal of our ambitions in this beautiful, resource-rich country. We are planning for the long term here. – Victor Jensen
As the vessel’s godmother, Gudny Sigurdsdottir gave a speech in Icelandic and wished the vessel and crew a safe journey.
With a dedicated crew and modern equipment, including two cranes rated at 185 tm and 100 tm and an advanced ballast system from MRPC, Fosnafjord will be a reliable partner for customers in the Westfjords.
