Viðey RE
Viðey is the sister ship of Engey and Akurey, and Engey’s systems were copied with considerable modifications to Viðey.
Project overview
Viðey RE is a wetfish trawler built at the Celiktrans Shipyard in Istanbul, Turkey and arrived at its home port in Reykjavík on the winter solstice, December 21, 2017. A reception ceremony was held the next day in Örfirisey, and on that occasion the ship was officially named. The vessel is almost 55 metres long and 13.5 metres wide
Verkís managed the following work components; design, drawings, programming and testing of control systems for hold systems, fish sorting and cooling systems, design, programming, installation and testing of display systems, and operational control of hold and display systems.

The Challenge
Viðey RE was developed as a modern wetfish trawler, building on the proven design of its sister vessel while incorporating significant system improvements. The project required the integration of advanced control and monitoring systems to optimise fish handling, cooling and onboard operations.
Our Solution
Verkís was responsible for the design, programming, testing and commissioning of the vessel’s hold control, fish sorting and cooling systems. Our team also designed, installed and tested the integrated display system, providing operators with real-time monitoring and operational control of the vessel’s key onboard processes through an intuitive interface.
The Result
The completed vessel combines efficient fish handling with advanced automation and monitoring systems, supporting reliable, high-quality fishing operations. Through specialist expertise in electrical engineering, control systems and onboard automation, Verkís helped deliver a modern fishing vessel that enhances operational efficiency, product quality and day-to-day performance at sea.
