Background The pelagic fish company, Varðin P/F, was established in 1985 in the Faroese village of Gøta. Men from the village came together to build the purse seine and trawl ship, Tróndur í Gøtu, named after the famous Viking from Faroese saga. With this ship, the foundations of Varðin, were laid. Tróndur í Gøtu went on its maiden voyage on the 19th of January 1987. Early years The company got off to a rough start because of unpredictability in the pelagic fish stocks and volatile seafood market prices. In the early 1990s fortunes turned for the better, and Varðin experienced growth throughout the 1990s and 2000s. The company acquired larger quotas and expanded the fishing fleet. By 2010, Varðin was the largest vessel owner in the pelagic fish industry in the Faroe Islands. Varðins fishing fleet consists of 4 state of the art ships equipped with seine nets, modern pelagic trawls, advanced pumps, quality inspection work stations, and superior RSW cooling systems.
