Designed for continuous deep-sea fishing operations, NB1119 Annie Hillina represents a new generation of high-performance pelagic freezer trawlers built to operate under the most demanding marine conditions. The vessel was constructed at Tersan Shipyard, one of the leading specialized fishing vessel builders in Europe, for Parlevliet Van der Plas, an established Dutch fishing operator with a fleet active across the North Atlantic and West African fishing grounds.

CITA Marine Furniture was selected to deliver the full marine interior outfitting scope on board NB1119 Annie Hillina, covering crew living spaces, operational areas and key functional zones throughout the vessel. The project involved the coordinated design support, production and on-board installation of all furniture and joinery elements, executed in line with the shipyard delivery schedule and the operator’s specifications for long-cycle pelagic fishing deployments.

Scope of Work

CITA Marine Furniture’s scope of delivery on NB1119 Annie Hillina included the following components:

Each component was engineered to comply with marine fire-safety standards and to deliver long-term performance under the unique stresses of deep-sea fishing operations, where conventional interior materials simply do not last.

Why Marine-Grade Materials Matter on a Pelagic Trawler?

Fishing vessels operate in some of the most demanding marine environments in the world. Continuous exposure to salt humidity, sustained engine vibration and round-the-clock crew use accelerates wear on standard interior materials. For pelagic freezer trawlers like NB1119 Annie Hillina, this challenge is compounded by long deployment cycles and limited port stops, which makes interior durability a direct operational concern rather than an aesthetic preference.

CITA Marine Furniture addresses these conditions with marine-grade plywood systems, FR rated surface materials and engineered joinery details developed specifically for high-stress vessel environments. This material strategy extends the operational life of the interior fit-out and significantly reduces the maintenance burden over the vessel’s service life.

Continuing a Strong Partnership with Tersan Shipyard

The successful completion of NB1119 Annie Hillina extends an established working relationship between CITA Marine Furniture and Tersan Shipyard, which has previously included high-profile fishing vessel projects such as the world’s longest longliner, NB-1116 Leinebris. Each shared delivery has reinforced the value of integrated outfitting partnerships in keeping demanding shipyard schedules on track without compromising on marine interior quality.
