Danske Rederier hava lagt fram eina nýggja strategi, sum skal styrkja Danmark og danska flaggið sum heimstað fyri donsk reiðarí. Eitt av høvuðsmálunum er, at handilsflotin undir donskum flaggi skal vaksa minst líka nógv sum – ella meira enn – altjóða handilsflotin. Sjóvinna er ein kvik vinna, og donsk reiðarí hava víst seg at vera serliga dugnalig at laga seg eftir broyttum handilsmynstrum á heimsmarknaðinum og einum óstøðugum geopolitiskum veruleika.

With Driving Home for Christmas  playing on the radio, the view across the harbour feels especially fitting — not just for cars on the road, but for ships making their way home at sea. As Christmas draws near, vessels and their crews are beginning their journeys home for the holiday season.

Kavaraskúlin í Føroyum hevur loyvið frá mynduleikunum, at fara undir slíkar eftirútbúgvingar. Frálandakavarar hava møguleika, at arbeiða niður á 50 metra dýpið. Hetta merkir at frálandakavararnir hava møguleika, at arbeiða heilar 20 metur djúpari enn t.d. kavarar ið hava SCUBA vinnuprógv. Ein partur av frálandaskeiðnum inniber m.a. at kavarar venja at kava frá einari vátklokku, ið verður sjósett av einari LARS-skipan og at brúka trýstkømur á kavarastaðnum. Slíkar skipanir ver
