The Özata shipyard in Turkey has delivered versatile purse seiner/seine netter Vikanøy to its Norwegian owners.
“It was great to work so closely with the ship owner and Özata shipyard,” said NSK Ship Design’s CEO Mats Nygaard Johnsen.
“There is a great deal of experience between us and we pulled together proven systems with the very latest technology to create something special. By optimising the hull lines, we can really streamline the vessel, but it’s how the machinery is managed that makes the difference to the emissions.”
The 44.20 metre, 11.50 metre breadth Vikanøy is designed by NSK Ship Design and has been built for Havbor AS. Replacing an older vessel of the same name which was built in 2011, Vikanøy has capacity to hold catches in its 490m3 RSW tanks, as well as opportunities for landing live fish, and has a Melbu processing facility for groundfish species at man deck level. The new vessel has quotas for mackerel and herring fisheries and for haddock, saithe and cod.
Kuldeteknisk supplied the chillers and the pumping and discharging systems are from C-Flow.
The main engine is a 1920kW Yanmar 6EY26W, powering a Finnøy reduction gearbox and controllable pitch propeller. The gensets are are a pair of 450kWe Margen/Scania/Leroy Somer units and a single 70kWe Margen/Perkins/Leroy Somer set. Thrusters are from Brunvoll.
Vikanøy has Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, which uses a chemical reaction to neutralise the NOx in exhaust gases. This cost-effective and proven NOx reduction solution is capable of achieving the emission limits set by IMO TIER III. This technology has been beneficial achieving compliance with emissions regulations and also it reduces the environmental footprint of the vessel.
The deck is laid out with DMT winches, and the Triplex/Rapp purse seine handling hardware and deck cranes are from Macgregor. The deck layout also features the first electric fish pump and fish pump crane with integrated cable drum supplied to a new Norwegian coastal vessel.
Accommodation is for a crew of eight and outfitting of crew areas has been completed by Accomar.
