🚢 🐟𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. While vessels of this type are familiar to us, this project introduces an exciting new partnership with a Danish client. The end client, based in Norway, will receive an Arctic fishing trawler specifically designed to endure the demanding conditions of the Northern Sea. As always, Western Baltija Shipbuilding is ready to deliver precision, quality, and reliability. ✅🇱🇹 🚀 The project is in full swing: 🔹 Grand blocks are under construction. 🔹 The keel has been welded to corresponding grand blocks. 🔹 Preparations are underway for the partial installation of deck machinery and exhaust system. 👨💻 👩💻 Our colleagues at WESTERN BALTIC ENGINEERING have been tasked with preparing the detailed technical documentation that guides our work. Several other WESTERN SHIPYARD GROUP companies are also involved in this project – making it a collaborative effort. ⌛The final building stages will be completed in Denmark next year. 🤝 We are proud to contribute to the renewal of Norway’s fishing fleet, showcasing the expertise of our team in delivering vessels tailored to the highest maritime industry expectations. 🌊 Let’s build future ships together! #Shipbuilding #MaritimeEngineering #FishingFleetRenewal #Denmark #Norway #Lithuania #Klaipeda #ArcticVessels #WesternBaltijaShipbuilding #WesternShipyardGroup #Shipyard #Shipyards

🧢𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐮𝐦: 𝐀 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬! At Western Baltija Shipbuilding, we never imagined that a simple idea – collecting a few caps from our partners and clients – would blossom into such a cherished tradition. Today, our ‘Cap Museum’ proudly displays over 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 partners around the globe, spanning Europe, the US, and beyond. 👀This vibrant wall of caps has quickly become a beloved feature in our meeting room, admired by both our colleagues and visiting partners. Each cap tells its own story, representing trusted partnerships, memorable projects, business trips, industry events, and unique connections within the maritime world. 🌍What began as a small hobby truly took root when our Marketing and Sales Director, Ilja Andrusenko, started showcasing caps gifted by visiting partners. Over the years, this collection has grown through contributions from our long-time and new connections alike, who look forward to visiting and spotting their cap on our wall. The display has grown so much that it’s rightfully earned its name – ‘The Cap Museum’. 🇺🇸Among the collection, two standout caps tell a special story: campaign hats from US presidential elections. With the recent election, perhaps it's the perfect time for a fresh campaign hat to join our collection. After all, there’s always room for more caps on the wall – and for new partnerships in our business!🤝 #MaritimeConnections #Klaipėda #Shipyard #Shipyards #CapsAroundTheWorld #WesternBaltijaShipbuilding #TraditionMeetsInnovation #CapMuseum
