Turkish shipyard Tersan has delivered the 69.9m stern freezer trawler ‘Havstrand’ to Norwegian fishing company Strand Havfiske.
Havstrand is the second of the five trawlers under construction at Tersan Shipyard for different Norwegian ship owners. The first trawler Havbryn was delivered in February this year to Strand Fiskelsrap.
Nurettin Paksu, group president said, “It is a big and very proud day for us seeing the delivery of our second trawler fishing vessel to Norway. F/T Havstrand is a very high quality fishing vessel which will definitely add value both to our company and to our clients. With sustained success of the recent deliveries to fishing and offshore sector, Tersan has proved how high quality and precious vessels that we deliver to the demanding customers. Our increased efficiency in production is almost leading a part of the shipyard into a conveyor belt, producing fishing vessels. With motto of customer satisfaction and meeting their demands in each level of our organisation I strongly believe our cooperation with Norway will continue increasingly.”
Features of the new trawler include excellent trawling manoeuvrability; fuel saving with floating frequency philosophy; selective catalyst reduction system on the exhaust line, achieving IMO Tier III; advanced fish processing plant and fish meal plant; and new modern hydraulic driven trawl winches.
