' The Reynsatindur, a 3,816-GRT vessel, was designed to fish for blue whiting for conversion into surimi. 

 This was part of the effort to move the Faroese fishing industry away from reliance on traditional species. The 

 vessel was built in 1976 by an Italian fishing company that fished for squid off the United States Atlantic coast. 

 The Italians sold the vessel to the Faroese in 1983.
