Maritime systems supplier Brunvoll AS has been selected to deliver all propulsion, manoeuvring, and positioning systems for a new 24-metre aquaculture service vessel.

The vessel has been designed by NSK Ship Design and will be built at Havyard Leirvik for handover to owner Nordlaks in 2025.
Norway-headquartered Brunvoll said that for a vessel which will operate 24/7, it’s vital to minimise the overall noise and vibration, with its low-noise thruster coming out as the preferred choice.
In addition to suitable thrusters and propulsion system, a BruCon DP0 system is being supplied. The DP0 system includes a follow ROV-mode to support the service vessels subsea operations.
The station keeping abilities that’s a core functionality in dynamic positioning will be valuable for a busy vessel in a varying and demanding workday, Brunvoll said, adding that the vessel will need to work at multiple locations, often without other suitable options for laying still.
Brunvoll’s order also includes the BruCon Propulsion and Thruster Control (PTC) Workstations, which will ensure a seamless integration, look and feel on the vessel operating stations.
