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.

Ein sera óvanlig og óheppin støða, sum ávirkar okkara førleika at fr

Mynd: Vinnuframi Five years ago, two Faroese entrepreneurs, Benjamin David Holloway and Rúni Lobo Festirstein, set out to challenge conventional thinking in the maritime sector. 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...
