New trawler arrives in Norway – with Covid case on board
New trawler
Magne Arvesen arrived in Ålesund last week after being delivered to owners Engenes Fiskeriselskap by the Gondán yard in Spain.
Despite strict precautions, one of the crew tested positive for Covid-19 on arrival. The rest of the crew are in quarantine ashore.
According to a statement by the owners, extensive precautions were taken during the latter stages of the construction period as the company takes the pandemic very seriously and places a strong emphasis on infection control measures.
Following sea trials, as many as possible of the crew returned to Norway to quarantine. A crew of nine remained on board for the delivery trip and were screened prior to departure from Spain.
