Heðin I. Abrahamsen has completed his PhD on wave‑generated currents, successfully defending his dissertation at Kongshøll. The assessment committee praised both the scientific quality and the clarity of his defense. His research addresses a growing challenge in modern aquaculture: as sheltered areas become scarce, fish farms are moving into more exposed waters where strong waves and turbulence threaten both equipment and fish welfare. Abrahamsen developed a numerical model t

A significant phase of the harbor expansion at Hulki is now underway, following the arrival of the new crane. Around five to six years ago, the northern pier was completely rebuilt and extended further out into the fjord, increasing the water depth to 12 meters. Since then, activity at Hulki has grown substantially. Last year, the municipal council approved an additional expansion of the quay area at Hulki. The plan extends the northern pier 70 meters southward and the southe

The Faroese shipyard MEST has successfully completed the replacement of both the main engine and the auxiliary engine on the fishing vessel Olga Maria—a project that showcases the high level of technical expertise and engineering craftsmanship found in the Faroe Islands. The comprehensive operation involved not only installing the new engines but also carrying out a series of important upgrades and modernizations throughout the vessel. These improvements ensure that Olga Mari

In a maritime environment defined by regulatory complexity, operational efficiency, and increasing compliance expectations, flag selection remains a strategic decision for shipowners. In recent years, the Faroe Islands registry has gained steady attention among operators seeking a transparent, well-regulated, and operationally reliable flag administration. While each fleet has unique requirements, several consistent factors explain why more vessels are transitioning to the Fa

Nú løgtingsval er útskriva, verða evni tikin fram sum t.d. Frálandavinna, Oljuleiting og Vindorkuvinna. Mangan verður tosað ógvuliga óítøkiligt um hesi evnini, men einstakir politikarar eru tó sum vísa økinum áhuga. Skulu vit í Føroyum taka lut í frálandavinnum av ymiskum slag og menna Føroyar sum ein maritiman tænastudepil í Arktiskum øki, so krevst at vit uppstiga okkara førleikastøði á nógvum økjum. Um vit ikki menna okkara vinnur gerast vit eftirbátar. Eitt av hesum økjum

Sjóvinnustýrið hevur júst luttikið á Forum on Exchange of Data, sum danska Søfartsstyrelsen skipaði fyri í EMSA høvuðssætinum í Lissabon. Endamálið var at deila vitan og skapa ein pall fyri samrøðum og íblástri til dátudeiling millum aktørar í maritima geiranum. Ljós varð varpað á, hvussu talgilding og deiling av dátum kunnu minka um fyrisitingarligar og fíggjarligar byrðar, samstundis sum hetta betrar gjøgnumskygnið hjá bæði fyrisiting og vinnu.

Føroyar eru ein lítil og opin búskapur við fáum berandi vinnugreinum. Vit eru tískil sera viðbrekin, og hava tørv á fleiri beinum at standa á. Allur heimurin spyr eftir olju og gass, tí tað er grundleggjandi fyri okkara orkutørv og framleiðslu av týðandi vørum. Vit hava tørv á olju og gass fyri at hita húsini, ferðast við bilinum, tendra lampuna og løða telefonina. Hesar rávørur geva okkum møguleika at framleiða bensin, diesel, asfalt, regnklæðir, vatndunkar, tannbustir, sápu

The next phase of growth in land‑based salmon farming may not come from building new facilities—but from getting more out of those already in place. In SMJ work, SMJ increasingly see a gap between what facilities are designed to deliver and what they achieve in daily operation. Closing that gap creates biological, technical, and financial value. And it requires more than upgrading tanks or equipment. It depends on how the site is configured, how production stages are linked,

Nú Tingið umrøður eina  veðurlagslóg  so eru Løgtingslimir aftur komnir inn á spurningin um tað er  á olju og gass hja okkum sjálvum og um vit skulu fara undir leiting aftur.

Mett var at tað vóru út ímóti 90 mio tunnur av olju, hetta er so mikið nógv at tað var líka við at verða mett
