Karstensens Skibsværft, the largest newbuilding shipyard in Denmark, recently signed a contract with Marel to deliver marine scales on their upcoming fleet of 15 pelagic trawlers. With a rich history dating back to 1917 and a global customer base, Karstensens Skibsværft is known for its high-quality shipbuilding and repair services. The collaboration between the shipyard and Marel underscores the importance of reliable and accurate weighing solutions for the demanding conditions aboard fishing vessels. 

A long-lasting partnership 

Karstensens Skibsværft has been a longstanding customer of Marel, depending on our marine scales for accurate and reliable weighing on board their vessels. The shipyard has consistently chosen Marel as their preferred supplier for their weighing needs, and Innova software for efficient data collection and catch registration. The decision to continue this partnership is based on the proven reliability, high precision, and robust construction of Marel's scales, designed to withstand the harsh conditions encountered at sea. Furthermore, the sturdy scales require minimal maintenance and offer low operating costs, making them an ideal choice for long-term use.

Kent Damgaard, Director of Karstensens Skibsværft, says that: "We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Marel as our trusted supplier of marine scales. Their equipment has consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, accuracy, and durability in the challenging marine environment. We look forward to incorporating their scales into our new trawlers, further enhancing our vessels' efficiency and performance."
