VESTBY · Future

Preserve what exists. Explore what comes next.

The hope is for VESTBY to remain a useful vessel and a place where maritime knowledge can be shared.

01

Passing on skills

Repairs and decisions can be documented in an accessible way. Where safe and practical, preservation can offer a window into traditional maritime craft.

Cargo under sail

Ecologically minded cargo transport is a long-term idea. Feasibility depends on the vessel’s condition, certification, equipment, crew, berth, funding and demand. No cargo service is available at present.

A ship with a purpose

Preservation, education and possible future operation should complement one another. We will report on options as they become concrete. Share contacts and ideas →
