Built for Seastar Holding, live fish carrier Seifjell has been built at the Cemre yard in Turkey to a design by Salt Ship Design.
The 69.9-metre Seifjell has a breadth of 16.8 metres, a carrying capacity of 2,200 cubic metres in its two circular fish tanks, and has hybrid propulsion. This new vessel is expected to meet the increasing demand for treatment and transport services, especially related to post-smolts in Western Norway.
This innovative design is based on gentle and efficient fish handling in combination with a strong focus on hygiene, environment, and quality. MMC FP supplied Siefjell’s live fish handling system. The fish counters are Wingtech WFP2000 units and the vaccum system is MMC FP’s Stranda Prolog VT6400C400 installation. The reverse osmosis setup is a Norwater NWS4 system with a 150 cubic metre/day capacity.
Propulsion is centred around a pair of 1800kWe MAN 12V175D Tier III gensets, backed up by a 129kW Margen John Deere unit, powering 950kW ABB propulsion motors and a Brunvoll controllable pitch propeller. The system is supported by a 1000kWh air-cooled Corvus Energy battery pack. Seifjell has a pair of Brunvoll 550kW thrusters and an MT DP1 dynamic positioning system.
The deck is outfitted with a telescopic boom crane and a pair of hydraulic knuckleboom cranes from Palfinger, an dis prepared for the future installation of a PK2350M crane.
Accommodation is for a crew of up to 12.
