Wärtsilä to supply complete propulsion solution for new Norwegian fishing vessel
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 7 September 2015 at 10 am EET
A new factory trawler fishing vessel being built for Norwegian marine trawling
operator Halstensen Granit AS is to feature a complete Wärtsilä propulsion
solution. The vessel is under construction at the Tersan yard in Turkey and the
Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery in mid-2016. The contract was
signed in August.
"The new vessel will be operating in challenging sea and weather conditions in
the Barents Sea and off the coasts of Norway and Greenland. It is essential,
therefore, that the propulsion machinery is both highly efficient and extremely
reliable. We have every confidence in Wärtsilä's expertise in these areas," says
Owner Inge Halstensen.
The vessel will employ the latest technologies to ensure the highest level of
operating efficiency. Wärtsilä is to supply the Wärtsilä 32 main engine, as well
as the two-speed gearbox, controlled pitch propeller (CPP), the HP nozzle, seals
and bearings. The Wärtsilä 32 engine features excellent fuel efficiency even at
lower engine loads. Wärtsilä's two-speed gearbox enables lower propeller speeds
and optimised propulsion efficiency, while still using the main engine power for
the shaft alternator. This results in lower costs than when using high speed
generating sets.
"We have worked in close cooperation with the owner for many years, and through
this have gained excellent insight into the needs and requirements for efficient
fishing vessel operations. As a result, we were able to present calculations for
alternative propulsion solutions so that the optimal solution could be
selected," says Arne Mæland, General Manager Sales, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions.
Wärtsilä has previously supplied the propulsion systems for three purse seiner
vessels owned and operated by Halstensen Holding AS.
