Russian fishing company Globus has deployed its newest freezer longliner on its maiden fishing voyage.
Marlin (Марлин) is the second vessel under the Project MT1112XL series of freezer longliners designed by Norwegian naval architecture firm Marin Teknikk and built by Russia's state-owned Severnaya Verf. Gandvik-1 (Гандвик-1), the first example in the series, was delivered to Russian fishing company Virma in 2025.
The newbuild will sail for the Barents Sea, where she will undergo additional operational testing before conducting fishing activities.
The 59-metre Marlin is fitted with an automatic bottom longline system capable of catching select species and avoiding juvenile fish, a freezer hold with two layers of concrete and capacity for 500 tonnes, and a factory with a rated daily processing capacity of 25 tonnes of frozen fillets, canned liver, and other products.
The factory is also capable of waste-free processing to enable the vessel to comply with international environmental standards.
Construction of the longliner was completed in compliance with Russian Maritime Register of Shipping rules.
