Arctic Fjord, the first new trawler-processor for Alaskan pollock to be built in the U.S. in over three decades is now undergoing sea trials in the Northern Pacific. Ordered from Houma, La., shipbuilder Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors by Seattle headquartered Arctic Storm Management Group, LLC , the 100 meter long Jones Act vessel was designed by Kongsberg Maritime.
Set to commence full-time operations for 2024’s pollock A season in the Bering Sea, on sea trials it is testing an integrated technology package from Kongsberg Discovery that is tailored to locate, inspect and engage fish with unparalleled efficiency.
