signed a construction contract with Karstensen's shipyard in Denmark

on a construction of a new Christian í Grótinuþ

the new ship will be quite large and large

89.35 meters long and 18 meters wide.

The ship is expected to be delivered in January 2022.

The estimated construction cost is around ISK 6.6 billion

That is about 40,3 million euros

36,2 million pounds
