New Havyard vessel for salmon farming

The fourth in the ‘Havtrans’ series to be delivered to Norsk Fisketransport, Reisa has three circular tanks with a combined capacity of 3,250 cubic metres. Circular tanks are said by designer, Kjetil Myren, to enable the vessel to transport larger quantities of fish while ensuring calmer conditions and higher survival rates, thereby enhancing fish welfare.

Tore Bø, project manager at the Leirvik yard, has been involved in all the ships in the ‘Havtrans’ series. “The project organisation and the production in Leirvik have pulled off a masterpiece. This goes to show that the workers at the yard in Leirvik are highly capable shipbuilders,” he said.

The 84.m Reisa is designed with extensive capacity for closed transport and infection protection with a dual delousing system that includes freshwater treatment and a flushing system. She has a 2,999 kW main engine and accommodation for 11 crew and two guests.

Norwegian Electric Systems delivered the bridge solution and the automation and electrical power systems whilst. Norwegian Greentech has provided the ballast water treatment system. Havyard Design & Solutions designed the boat and New Havyard Ship Technology fitted it out.

Two more wellboats are scheduled for delivery from Havyard New Ship Technology to Norsk Fisketransport later this year.
