Karstensens Skibsværft and Klondyke Fishing Company have chosen a broad equipment range from Brunvoll AS for the new fishing vessel Chris Andra.
This latest fishing vessel contract between Brunvoll and Karstensen Skibsværft will complete with the delivery of the vessel in 2026.
“We really appreciate the trust that Klondyke Fishing Company and Karstensens Skibsværft [have] shown Brunvoll in this process, and we shall keep on working to maintain our good position and reputation in the fishing segment,” said Geir-Arne Kaspersen, Vice President – Sales at Brunvoll.
The contract includes several advanced Brunvoll products, including an Integrated Costa Propulsion with controllable pitch propeller and gear, tunnel thruster, retractable azimuth combi-thruster, and the Brunvoll BruCon control system.
The Integrated Costa Propulsion is a design concept where propeller, nozzle, and rudder are designed and hydrodynamically optimised in unison by Brunvoll’s hydrodynamicists, for maximum thrust and steering.
The retractable azimuth combi thruster in the bow contributes to both sideways thrust, and additional propulsion and manoeuvring power when needed.
Further, the BruCon control system allows the operator to fluently steer and manoeuvre the vessel in various operating conditions, from several operating stations onboard the vessel depending on the ongoing task.
Chris Andra will add to the Klondyke Fishing Company’s fleet of pelagic trawlers operating out of Fraserburgh, Scotland.
