The 73.4-metre ship, which is named after Clearwater co-founder John Risley’s late mother, will harvest Arctic surf clams year-round off the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia.
"The Anne Risley represents a $70 million investment to replace an existing 31-year-old clam vessel with a state-of-the-art factory ship that will deliver significant productivity and efficiency improvements to Clearwater’s clam fleet," Clearwater CEO Ian Smith said in a news release.
