The video gives an idea of what it can be like to sail in a North Sea storm, not least in wintertime when the storm centers are stacked along the coast. It also emphasizes the crucial role the wellboat fleet plays in the logistics of farming salmon.
The ‘Rostein’ is owned by the Haroy shippng company of the same name. This current voyage ends at SalMar processing plant Innovamar, at Nordskaget, Froya.
