From Fiskeribladet, Saturday 3. March, 2007:
Translation of text: F/V “Tromsøbuen” photographed last Wednesday during transit from the fishing ground west of Ireland with her catch of blue whiting.
Not among the largest seiners in the fleet, so her cargo of 1300 m.t. put her well down. The catch was later delivered in Egersund. (S.W. Norway) Photo: Private
Presently named Senior, registered in Morocco and operating off West Africa:

The owners are building a replacement vessel (probably at Karstensen, Skagen)
The present vessel will be handed over to the buyer (Framherji in Fuglafjörður, Faeroes) only when the newbuilding is completed in 2016:
