New Havyard vessel Reisa for the salmon farming industry.
ON 6 JANUARY 2021, NORSK FISKETRANSPORT TOOK DELIVERY OF A NEW HAVYARD WELLBOAT THAT OFFERS GREATER SALMON CAPACITY, ENHANCED FISH WELFARE, AND A GREENER PROPULSION SYSTEM.
The Havtrans series sets the standard for medium-sized wellboats in the industry. Havtrans was further refned through Namsos and Steigen and the sister ship Reisa will now serve as a new, useful tool for handling and transportng salmon. Four Havyard ships have been delivered so far, and two more are scheduled for delivery from Havyard New Ship Technology to Norsk Fisketransport later this year. Reisa has a circular tank capacity of 3,250m3. Kjetl Myren, the Designer with responsibility for the wellboat segment at Havyard Design & Solutons, says that circular tanks enable the vessel to transport larger quanttes of fsh while ensuring calmer conditons and higher survival rates, thereby enhancing fsh welfare. “The special hull design makes the Havtrans vessels move smoothly through the water, reducing both emissions and fuel expenses”, Mr Myren explains. “Reisa is currently designed with extensive capacity for closed transport and infecton protecton with a dual delousing system that includes freshwater treatment and a fushing system.”
Masterpiece
Tore Bø, Project Manager at the Leirvik yard, has been involved in all the ships in the Havtrans series. He says that ftng out Reisa was the easiest project of them all, despite challenges relatng to the coronavirus and the fact that they have taken greater control and ownership of more of the equipment on board. Mr Bø describes the work performed by the project organisaton and the producton in Leirvik as a masterpiece. He states, “The project organisaton and the producton in Leirvik have pulled of a masterpiece. This goes to show that the workers at the yard in Leirvik are highly capable shipbuilders. The boat was nonetheless a few months delayed due to late delivery from the hull yard in Turkey and coronavirus challenges at the yard in Norway. The workers at Leirvik made a tremendous efort and fted out the vessel much quicker than we feared. In additon, the cooperaton with Norsk Fisketransport has been good throughout the process, and we are now pleased to be able to deliver such a robust, modern piece of hard-working machinery to NFT and the aquaculture industry. The next boat in the Havtrans series is scheduled for delivery in early summer, while the third will be completed this autumn.”
Havyard collaboration
Norwegian Electric Systems has delivered the bridge soluton and the automaton and electrical power systems on board, Norwegian Greentech has delivered the ballast water treatment system, Havyard Design & Solutons designed the ship, and New Havyard Ship Technology fted it out.
