\u201cThis year\u2019s winner shows that there is a focus on lower emissions and increased safety,\u201d said Norway\u2019s Minister of Fisheries and Seafood, Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen.<\/p>\n
Competition between the nominees was tough, but the chairman of the jury, Skipsrevyen editor Gustav-Erik Blaalid, said that Ro Vision<\/em> will set a standard for new vessels in this sector.<\/p>\n \u201cLooking to the future, it could be of interest to rebuild existing vessels according to this standard. The total environmental benefit will be significant,\u201d he said, commenting that the award is a great recognition to the LFC industry which has given Norwegian ship technology and design a world leading status.<\/p>\n Ro Vision\u2019s<\/em> background goes back to the pioneer Ro Arctic<\/em>, the first live fish carrier based on the LFC2020 design. This was an Innovation Norway-supported project with the goal of developing the next generation of LFC\u2019s. Ro Arcti<\/em>c was completed in 2014 and had extensive design, analysis and good co-operation between the shipowners Rostein AS and Naviera Orca Chile SA, ship designer Skipskompetanse AS and shipyard Larsnes Mek Verksted AS.<\/p>\n This project was soon followed by an extended and more optimised version of the design with Ro Server<\/em>. During the years up to 2018, Ro North, Ro West<\/em> and Ro Fortune<\/em> were also built based on the Ro Server<\/em> design.<\/p>\n Work on Ro Vision<\/em> began in 2018, based on the experience of the initial series, and the decision was taken to replace one genset with a 600kWh battery pack.<\/p>\n Ro Vision<\/em>, together with her sister vessel Ro Venture<\/em>, has now also set a new standard for an environmentally friendly operating profile by installing a battery pack. This demonstrates that generators are needed in operation. The battery pack supplies power to the switchboard, which distributes this to propulsion and other operations of the vessel\u2019s system.<\/p>\n Ship of the Year is awarded annually to a Norwegian built vessel at a Norwegian shipyard.<\/p>\n Skipsrevyen\u2019s readers nominate candidates and the jury picks the winner.
