Designed for both pair-seining and fly-shooting, Faithlie was built by Vestværftet ApS, Hvide Sande, for skipper Davie Milne in partnership with Don Fishing. The vessel was delivered in July 2017 and landed 1,200 boxes in her maiden trip alongside her pair-partner Audacious BF83.
Faithlie’s centreline propulsion package includes a Caterpillar 3508C Tier II-compliant main engine (577kW @ 1200rpm), Mekanord 450HS 6.47:1 reduction gearbox and a matching Korsor 2500mm-diameter CP propeller and nozzle. Two Volvo Penta D7AT auxiliary engines driving 116KVA Newage Stamford generators are also fitted in Faithlie’s aft engineroom.
