Maritime Montering Signs New Contract for Quantus Trawler Accommodation Package

Maritime Montering has secured a new contract with Westcon Yard AS to deliver a complete accommodation package for the 75-meter Quantus Trawler, commissioned by MV Quantus Ltd and Peter & J.

This new contract further strengthens the trust-based relationship we’ve cultivated over the years.”

The owners behinds MV Quantus Ltd and Peter & J. Johnstone Ltd  state that they are excited to have Maritime Montering working on a new vessel as they have been very impressed by MM’s previous work over many Scottish pelagic vessels.

Endre Matre, Leader of Newbuildings at Westcon Yard AS, added, “We have been collaborating with Maritime Montering on various projects for years, and their proven expertise in creating high-quality accommodation solutions makes them a valued partner in our newbuild program. We look forward to continuing our successful cooperation on this project.”
