Dettifoss

20211029 – During my visit to Nuuk in Greenland the Icelandic owned container vessel DETTIFOSS made call to the port. She is owned by the Icelandic Eimskip. My long lasting friend and master of Dettifoss, Capt. Ríkharður Sverrisson, invited me to pay him a visit and have tour around this one of the newest vessel of Icelandic merchant fleet although she is registered under Faroese flag (FAS).

Chief officer Guðjón Geir Einarsson took me around but due to Covid visits restriction have been since Dettifoss first arrival in Iceland in July 2020 as new build from China. The vessel is fully manned with strong Icelandic crew of seventeen. I thank Captain and crew of Dettifoss for showing me their vessel which I found absolutely stunning vessel.

Dettifoss is on route Iceland, Faroe Isl., Denmark, Sweden and Greenland together with her two sisters BRÚARFOSS (Eimskip) and TUKUMA ARCTICA (Royal Arctic Line)
