Two ducted azimuth propulsion thrusters, a tunnel thruster, Brunvoll’s Propulsion and Thruster Control system (BruCon PTC), and Brunvoll’s Dynamic Positioning system with class 0 (BruCon DP0).
The class 0 DP systems is ideal for vessel like live fish carriers and aquaculture service vessels where there are no class requirements for a DP system. The DP system helps the crew of the vessel to manoeuvre and hold the vessels position during operations around the fish farm, increasing the safety of both the fish and crew, and at the same time reducing the energy consumption.
The vessels will become Aas Mek’s new build no.217 and 218. The vessels have a length over all of 89 meters and have a loading capacity of 4.700 tons.
"This is an exciting step for Njord Aquashipping AS. We are very pleased to build these vessels in Norway and to work with high-quality Norwegian suppliers like Brunvoll. We look forward to strengthening our fleet with these state-of-the-art vessels," says Tomas Okstad, CEO of Njord Aquashipping AS.
