According to the shipyard's press office, it is the seventh trawler hull to have been built in Vyborg in the last two years for the Norwegian company DOF Industri according to a design by the Vik-Sandvik design bureau. Construction of the trawlers is being financed by the St. Petersburg Bank in collaboration with Norwegian Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted. The eighth trawler hull will be delivered this spring.
