Bakkafrost delivered a strong improvement in earnings during the second quarter of 2026, reporting an operational profit of DKK 273 million, up from DKK 65 million in the same period last year. The increase was driven mainly by strong performance in the Faroe Islands, where harvest volumes reached 26,749 tonnes and fish health remained favourable. Harvest costs were also lower than a year ago. While falling salmon prices and a sharp rise in global supply created challenges, C

The Faroe Islands are strengthening their position in the North Atlantic energy landscape as political leaders, industry stakeholders, and international media increasingly focus on the potential of the Atlantic Margin, one of Europe's most significant offshore energy regions.

Ein afturvendandi siðvenja á Vinnuháskúlanum er at fara ein túr við Westward Ho saman við nýggju næmingunum. Túrurin er ein góður háttur at byrja lestrarárið og gevur næmingunum høvi at kynnast bæði hvørjum øðrum og lívinum á sjónum. Túrurin í ár var bæði góður og læruríkur. Vinnuháskúlin vil tí bera manningini á Westward Ho eina hjartans tøkk fyri góða móttøku og ein væl eydnaðan túr.

Bæði føroysku vaktarskipini, Brimil og Tjaldur, liggja við kaj, vegna umvælingar og maskinbrek. Brimil skal umvælast í 10 vikur, og Tjaldrið er 50 ára gamalt, so tað er trupult at finna neyðugu eykalutirnar. Omaná hetta kunnu vit lesa í donsku miðlunum, at skipini hjá donsku sjóverjuni eru gomul, illa mannaði, uttan útgerð og kunnu ei heldur sigla kring Grønland og Føroyar, tá ið tað verður væntað av teimum. Ein sera óvanlig og óheppin støða, sum ávirkar okkara førleika at fr

Their ambition was straightforward but bold: to design and build the first Brim workboat, a high-speed vessel engineered for demanding operations at sea. Today, that vision is gaining attention far beyond the Faroe Islands. Designed for tough conditions The Brim workboat is built from a specialized po

Alt bendir á, at offshore-vinnan stendur framman fyri einum nýggjum vakstrarskeiði. Eftir nógv ár við lágum íløgum í nýggj skip og ein alsamt eldri heimsflota, peika fleiri greiningar nú á, at eftirspurningurin eftir offshore-skipum kann gerast størri enn útboðið komandi árini. Sama niðurstøða sæst eisini í einari nýggjari grein hjá ShippingWatch, har ein analytikari metir, at reiðarí, sum megna at tryggja sær fleiri skip longu nú, kunnu koma at standa sera væl á framtíðar...
