Scottish aquaculture company welcomes new workboat

Sustainable fish farm company Kames, operating in the lochs and estuaries round the Western Isles in Scottish Sea, has taken delivery of a Damen workboat to improve waterborne operations at their steelhead trout farm.

Tiffany features a large deck space, a heavy crane and two capstans to handle lines and nets at the farm. The boat is optimised for aquaculture jobs thanks to the deck lay-out with the bridge and accommodation situated at the side of the deck, leaving more open deck space and unobstructed length from bow to stern for large loads.

The Kames boat is the second of this type that has been built, with a third under construction. The first was delivered to Organic Sea Harvest from the Isle of Skye in the Scottish Sea, a salmon farm.
