Project Story
Ballstadøy (previously known as Flobjørn) is a fishing vessel for Ballstadøy Fiskeri AS, built at Özata Shipyard in 2018. The vessel is equipped for Danish seine and twin trawl operations, and has been developed for a working environment where catch handling, raw material quality, crew and technical systems need to work closely together across changing seasons.
At 19.8 metres long, 8 metres wide and with a cargo capacity of 90 m³, the vessel is tailored to its segment of the coastal fishing fleet. The design is not simply about accommodating fishing gear and cargo, but about creating short and safe working lines from catch handling through cooling and storage to unloading.
The vessel was delivered under the name Flobjørn and was developed as an efficient small trawler/Danish seine vessel for whitefish and varied coastal operations.
The deck arrangement, cargo hold, machinery and accommodation have been designed as an integrated whole to create a vessel that is practical to operate. Good visibility, safe access and the correct positioning of equipment are essential when a small crew needs to work efficiently during periods of challenging weather.
Ballstadøy demonstrates how a fishing vessel can be adapted to specific fishing gear, local operating patterns and the shipowner's requirements, while maintaining the simplicity that makes the vessel robust in daily operations.
