On Saturday, Hav Fles was officially christened during a special ceremony held at the headquarters of Navigare in Søldarfjørður.

The event brought together guests, colleagues, partners, and members of the local community to celebrate an important milestone for the company and its growing fleet.

Following speeches by CEO Álvur Højgaard, Sigrun Jónsveinsdóttir on behalf of the Harbour Committee, and Bárður á Steig Nielsen, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the vessel's godmother, Óluva Højgaard, stepped forward to perform the christening ceremony.

With traditional Faroese words, she bestowed the vessel with its name and blessing:

Føgur her við bryggju liggur. Manning og farm tú trygga ger. Føgur við Føroyaland tú liggur. Alvaldandi Guð teg trygga ger, Guð vælsigni manning og farm. Vit bera fram. Hav Fles er títt navn.

The ceremony marked a proud and memorable occasion, symbolizing a new chapter for Navigare and the future voyage of Hav Fles.

Navigare extends its sincere gratitude to everyone who joined in celebrating this special day and helped make the occasion so meaningful.

Everyone wishes Hav Fles and her crew fair winds, calm seas, and many safe and successful voyages in the years ahead.
