Brunvoll AS has secured another contract with AquaShip/Intership for the delivery of a comprehensive propulsion, thruster and dynamic positioning (DP) system combination for a new live fish carrier.
According to Brunvoll, the system will ensure the wellboat operates efficiently under diverse and demanding conditions. Additionally, the maritime systems supplier will provide a set of four thrusters to enhance the vessel’s manoeuvrability and positioning capabilities.
It said the inclusion of the BruCon propulsion and thruster control (PTC) system will offer seamless integration and superior control for both propulsion and thruster units, facilitating optimal vessel performance.
A key feature of this contract is the delivery of Brunvoll’s advanced Dynamic Positioning (DP) system, which will ensure precise and stable positioning of the well boat, assisting in complex operations at fish farming facilities. The DP system integrates the latest technological advancements, providing robust performance and safety features that meet the stringent requirements of modern industrial aquaculture operations.
“We are delighted to again partner with AquaShip/Intership on this project,” said Vidar Liaskar, VP Sales at Brunvoll. “Our team is committed to delivering a solution that not only meets but exceeds the operational requirements of the new well boat. This contract underscores Brunvoll’s position as a leader in maritime propulsion, manoeuvring and positioning solutions.”
Equipped with a comprehensive battery-hybrid power system, and a reverse osmosis (RO) system for freshwater production, the new wellboat has been designed by Norway’s Salt Ship Design. It will be constructed at Zamakona Shipyards in Spain.
AquaShip/Intership is known for using freshwater treatment for sea lice and amoebic gill disease (AGD). In total, AquaShip/Intership has 38 vessels in operation, and four vessels undergoing construction.
