Vessel Description

GADUS is a modern stern factory freezer trawler built in 2020 by Tersan Shipyard in Turkey and operating under the Faroese flag. Designed for deepwater demersal and pelagic fishing operations, the vessel is equipped with onboard fish processing and freezing facilities, enabling extended voyages in remote North Atlantic and Arctic fishing grounds. The diesel-electric propulsion system provides operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact during extended fishing campaigns. As a relatively new addition to the Faroese fishing fleet, GADUS represents modern standards in fishing vessel design, combining catching capacity with onboard processing capabilities suited for commercial-scale operations targeting species such as cod, haddock, and other North Atlantic groundfish stocks.
