Håkon: about 46 windows restored after the new build
Like Myggenes, the new trawler Håkon ÞH-250 had windows scratched inside and outside when the protective film from the build was removed incorrectly. In April 2025, in the port of Skagen, we ground and polished about 46 windows over 14 days and finished all windows with a protective glass coating.
