Kleven to build Pesquera Ancora trawler

The vessel is of NVC 374 WP design from Rolls-Royce, and will be the fourth vessel of the same design in Myklebust Verft’s order book; two vessels have been ordered by DFFU in Germany, and another by CDP Saint-Malo & Euronor in France.

Ståle Rasmussen, CEO of Kleven, said: “This is an important contract to us, and it confirms that Kleven can compete internationally in todays market when it comes to building fishing vessels. The fact that a Spanish ship owner comes to Norway to have their vessel built is in itself remarkable.”

The stern trawler will be ICE 1A* classed, with operational efficiency, low emissions and crew comfort and safety important criteria in the development of the vessel design.

Kleven’s order book also holds two live fish carriers for Norwegian owned Sølvtrans, a trawler for Gitte Henning in Denmark, and an offshore construction vessel for Volstad, based in Ålesund, Norway.
