Engagement in development
When planning a newbuilding, interaction between concerned partners is essential to producing a vessel with optimal functionality. When leading expertise in design, shipbuilding, equipment, and operation is brought together, this process is enhanced, and the owner’s role is key to this
The owner’s requirements and understanding of operational requirements set the parameters that lead to development in design as well as equipment.
“Most fishing vessel owners are genuinely interested in new technology, and not least in the environment. Combined with the fact that there has been relatively good economy in fishing, owners have taken advantage of this by investing in new technology for their newbuildings. In addition, it is worth noting that many of the owners themselves are skippers on board, and therefore clearly see the benefit and gain from the investments in their own everyday work,” said Egil Sandvik, managing director of Salt Ship Design.
This independent design company, based at Stord in western Norway, has for years worked to improve the performance of new vessels through innovation and well recognised solutions. Environment, sustainability, and safety get the top focus.
“Fishing vessel owners often have an extra motivation to think about the environment, seeking sustainable solutions that result in healthy, clean seas and optimal conditions for the catch. Financially, both investments and not least the savings it can entail from operating expenses have a direct impact on the owner’s wallet to a much greater extent than if you build a vessel to be chartered or resold. With the current quota system, the income from fishing is to a great extent set, so reducing costs is a matter of efficient operation,” he said, adding that fishing vessel owners are very concerned about each vessel’s seakeeping and other qualities, closely linked to hull design, propulsion, and manoeuvring efficiency, and not least noise. There is a strong focus on everything concerning the environment, emissions and fuel economies, and for the fishing vessel owner fuel economy is a vital aspect.
“Good collaboration with equipment suppliers provides great opportunities, and it’s a necessity that suppliers have both commitment and knowledge of the industry. Salt Ship Design and Brunvoll have collaborated on several development projects for a number of ship owners over the years. Our experience is that Brunvoll’s commitment and knowledge of the market are genuine, and this is essential for being involved in developing good products for the industry,” Egil Sandvik said.
Brunvoll’s Sales Manager Arne Tennøy shares this perception of the fishing vessel owners’ significant role in promoting development, and commented that he greatly appreciates being surrounded by so many talented players with great competence and willingness to invest.

has a customised Brunvoll propulsion system optimised for the actual running condition of the vessel
development processes are constantly exchanged between the parties. Aas Mek. designs and builds the vessels themselves, providing a deeper perspective to the collaboration.
“We are now in close dialogue with Brunvoll about new solutions for control and automation systems,” he said, commenting that he believes involving external parties early in the process is positive and gives confidence in new products that are launched.
“For us, it is important that renewal takes place strategically, so that new product portfolios are established to last, since we would like to use them in series of vessels that are built over time.”
Savings with customised reduction gear
Recently delivered pelagic vessel Odd Lundberg, owned by Norwegian fishing company of the same name, built with a strong focus on optimal working conditions, safety and comfort for the crew.
“We are very proud of our vessel,” said Mats Lundberg, Odd Lundberg’s skipper.
“The performance and the new technology means that we can save time and fuel when we are at sea, and this means more time at home with our families and friends. When using new technology, it is not unlikely to meet some challenges in the beginning to find out how the systems work and how to use them most efficiently, but we are very satisfied with the new vessel, everything has worked very well.”
A collaboration between the owner, the shipyard, the engine manufacturer and Brunvoll resulted in an effective and sustainable solution for propulsion and manoeuvring, based on the vessel’s operating profile. The propulsion system which includes a two step gearbox has been proven to provide significant savings.
“We have used step two of the system to a much greater extent than first expected. We also experimented with the plant during trawling, and to our surprise we experienced that trawling using step two and the 50-60 Hz floating frequency resulted in our fuel consumption decreasing by 100-130 litres per hour. With 12-20 hours spent in that condition per day for much of the year, such savings are very positive,” Mats Lundberg said.
“From our operational experience this first year and a half, we probably spend 70-80% of the time in step two and use step one if we are very busy or are trawling in bad weather. All in all, we are very satisfied with the system and the flexibility it gives us.”
Good processes provide the best solutions

started himself as a fisherman, and today he is president of Ervik Havfiske Holding AS. He stresses the importance of collaboration around finding the best solutions in the process of developing a new vessel.
“We appreciate receiving suggestions for solutions, whether it is an electric motor, hydraulic system, or control systems, and that suppliers base recommendations for the best solutions adapted to our needs on their own expertise and experience. Furthermore, we work together to achieve the optimum layout leading to a good solution that we are confident in, and which is delivered as the result of a positive process,” Stig Ervik said.
Ervik Havfiske has many vessels with Brunvoll propulsion and manoeuvring systems, and he highlights the value of collaboration in achieving these results. He also sees it as a great advantage to have propulsion, manoeuvring and control systems from the same supplier.
“We have always used Norwegian suppliers where we could, and when we continue to order from the same supplier after almost 25 years, it goes without saying that we are thoroughly satisfied. The quality and follow-up have been superb,” he said.
“There is some excellent development taking place in the industry. A lot has happened, especially in the field of digitalisation. Now we can connect to each vessel online no matter where in the world it is and see if everything is in order and investigate problems if they arise.”
Demands lead to development
Brunvoll’s Arne Tennøy believes that part of the company’s success in the fishing sector has been its ability to deliver system solutions based on products that are optimised for the different operating conditions that fishing vessels encounter.
“Although fishing vessels are relatively small in comparison to other sea-going vessels, they have a widely varying operational profile, requiring some of the most advanced propulsion systems. Demanding operations under rough conditions place great demands on safety and comfort on board. Efficient operation and reduced costs directly affect profitability,” Arne Tennøy commented.
This close interaction with the fishing sector has for years given Brunvoll first-hand knowledge of the challenges the industry faces, which have contributed to the company’s ability to provide customised systems.
“From a supplier’s point of view, we are very aware of how crucial it is that the shipowner is interested in the best solutions. This is the key to a fruitful development and improvement of functions that benefit the shipowner and contribute to product development and innovation with us,” Arne Tennøy said.

In 2019 shrimp trawler Maros VII went to the Lighthouse Shipyard at Mazatlán in Mexico for a refi t and an upgrade so successful that the rest of the company’s 50 vessels are to get the same treatment.
Fishing company Pesca Industrial Maros SA de CV has expressed its intention to start converting all of its vessels’ tailshaft seals to Thordon’s TG100 shaft seal later this year, following the refit on Maros VII in 2019 when it was fitted with Thordon SXL tailshaft bearings and TG100 seals, making this the first time that the company had converted one of its trawlers to run with a seawater lubricated tailshaft conversion.
The decision was made following the performance success of Thordon’s grease-free ThorPlas-Blue bearings, which have been retrofitted to the deck winches aboard almost half of the vessel operator’s 50-strong fleet.
“After many years of operating greased metal bearings, Maros now has grease-free ThorPlas-Blue bearings fitted to the winches of about twenty vessels,” said Arturo Selvas, managing director of Thordon’s Mexico based distributor, TZ Industrias.
He said that conventional winch bearings typically need about 56.6g of lubricating grease per day. ThorPlas-Blue, which is completely greasefree, has saved Maros a considerable amount of time and money. This was the basis for

“When you have a fleet of 50 vessels, greasing every winch can be very costly and time-consuming. The performance of
selecting Thordon’s seawater lubricated tailshaft bearings and seals.”
For Maros VII, TZ Industrias supplied, machined, and commissioned a pair of SXL tailshaft bearings and TG100 seals for a 127mm diameter shaft.
“Maros didn’t have any technical issues with the original packing seals but simply wanted to enjoy the benefits that a mechanical seal can bring,” Arturo Selvas said.
“Retrofitting to a Thordon seal is certainly an upgrade,” said Jason Perry, Thordon’s regional manager – North America.
“When you clutch in the shaft you really appreciate the difference. It’s a completely better experience in terms of performance, longevity and reliability.”
“Maros is very happy with the new shafting arrangement and plans to convert more vessels later this year, when government grants are reinstated,” Arturo Selvas added.
Between 2005-2019, approximately 13.6 billion Mexican pesos were invested in different subsidy programmes throughout the country, with an annual average of around 1 billion pesos, and approximately 216,000 beneficiaries.
Subsidies were halted two years ago but the government has proposed a return of grants for the country’s fisheries sector in 2022.

STARK GROUP OPTS FOR PROPSPEED
Underwater foul-release coatings innovator Propspeed has been selected by Ocean Fisheries Ltd. as the preferred foul-release coating for its fl eet of commercial fi shing vessels
Based in Lyttelton, New Zealand and part of the Stark Group of companies owned and operated by the Stark family, Ocean Fisheries Ltd. was started in 1967 to bring together the company’s commercial fi shing operations. The fl eet currently consists of three trawlers – the 2004-built Frontier, Legacy which was built in 2012, and the newest, Endeavour, delivered in 2016, making this one of the most modern vessel groups operating in New Zealand. The three steel-hulled vessels are routinely dry-docked every two years.
Propspeed’s ultra-slick topcoat is specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline. It is proven to support vessel readiness, increase efficiency, prevent corrosion, save fuel and reduce maintenance costs. It features an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, the Etching Primer and the Clear Coat – ensuring the Propspeed coating actually sticks to running gear, and that the vessel can run at its peak throughout the entire season.
Having applied Propspeed to several superyachts during routine dry docking contracts, the Stark family were aware of the product. Discussions with Propspeed highlighted the fact that the same benefits of clean propellers could apply to commercial fishing vessels, so a decision was made to prep and coat the propeller on each vessel as they were taken out of the water in 2014.
“The benefits of Propspeed are definitely noticeable in terms of a much cleaner propeller when we haul the vessel for survey, maintenance and repairs,” said Ocean Fisheries CEO Andrew Stark.
“Application of Propspeed has now become a must-do job at all haul outs. In addition, we historically had issues with weed growth on the keel coolers for the main and auxiliary engines, ice maker, hydraulics and echo sounder transducers. After a discussion with Propspeed we applied the product to the echo sounders and keel coolers at our most recent 2020 haul outs and we expect the same lack of growth to occur. We would have no hesitation in recommending other trawl vessel owners apply Propspeed because it severely inhibits weed and marine growth. In the case of the keel coolers it saves us time and money using divers to clean the coolers in water, and increases refrigeration capacity and efficiency by allowing increased cooling capability for much longer periods.”
“We are very pleased to hear a successful commercial fishing fleet is experiencing the real-world benefits of our product line,” said Propspeed CEO Chris Baird.
“These vessels are put to the test in constant use in very demanding conditions and the livelihood and safety of the crew depends on their flawless operation. We are confident that they will continue to see positive result through the life of these boats.”

FOLLA BUILDS ON LOPPA’S SUCCESS
The success of the Loppa heading and gutting machine developed by Måløy company Havfront has been such that a new machine for use in shore-based fi sh processing has been developed, with the prototype already in use

A year of intensive development and testing has gone into preparing the prototype Folla, and this has worked so well that Havfront’s partner, Husøy company Br. Karlsen, which has been instrumental in initiating the Folla’s development, has already taken it into regular use.
Designed to gut and head cod, saithe, haddock, tusk, ling and catfish across the whole size range from from 1 to 20kg, the Folla’s origins go back to the Lofotfishing exhibition in 2017, when Terje Sørensen and Jakob Karlsen of Br. Karlsen saw what the Loppa gutting and heading machine for use at sea was capable of doing – and decided that this was the functionality they were looking for on shore as well.
“We were impressed by the Loppa, but it was not suitable for use on shore. At the same time, we were so dissatisfied with the machines we had that we suggested the idea of a shore-based machine,” Terje Sørensen said.
Their suggestion set things moving at Havfront, and having a partner to collaborate with in developing new technology is a key element of such a venture. Br. Karlsen provided opportunities and raw material for three rounds of full-scale testing under working conditions, as well as bringing their own input to the process.
“We’re grateful to Br. Karlsen for their commitment and hospitality. Without them as a test company, we would never have got the result we have with the Folla as it is today,” said Havfront’s Marius Strømmen, adding that they expect to develop this further.
Terje Sørensen added that there may be challenges to adapt the Folla to existing production lines, although it is easily fitted into a new processing setup.
“We see the Folla as a game changer for whitefish processing on shore, replacing today’s manual handling with automated systems. Systematic development work has made it possible to achieve this,” Marius Strommen said.
The Folla development hasn’t escaped notice, including that of Egil Henning Ytterøy of Innovation Norway Vestland, which has collaborated with Havfront on previous projects, both in connection with start-ups and on the marketing side. As Havfront’s results in these projects had been reassuring, Innovation Norway had no problem in contributing around NoK2.5 million in R&D support for the Folla development.
“Havfront and Br. Karlsen have managed the funds well. We see that Havfront has established a niche where they identify challenges in the industry and deliver solutions that add value for customers,” said Egil Henning Ytterøy.
“During the Folla project, we maintained had a good dialogue all the way. Havfront has kept informed us about the progression compared to the project plan, which is very important. There is not a lot of development work of this type within the whitefish industry, so we have been very happy to collaborate with Havfront again to produce more such strong results.”
Frank Jakobsen at the Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Fund has also been impressed with the thoroughness of the testing process behind the Folla machine.
“The goals have been high, but they have worked really hard to reach them, without taking their expectations too far and generating unrealistic ambitions. They have run large volumes of fish through the rounds of testing and the results have been impressive,” he said.
“This has been a very exciting project that we look at as money well spent. We have already marketed this project at several large industry gatherings.”

A Norwegian fi sh processing plant turned to Evoqua partner Naustor Technology to eliminate a persistent listeria problem in production.
Trond Storebø at Naustor supplied them with one of Evoqua’s new PC Series ozone disinfection systems. This trolley mounted unit can provide ozonated water instantaneously anywhere in the food processing factory. The ozone is produced inside the on board generator from ambient air and electricity, making it capable of fully autonomous operation. The all stainless-steel PC Series incorporates an on-board oil-free air compressor, pump and off-gas destructor, making it completely safe for operators, with the capability to adjust the ozone output to provide greater flexibility and a broader range of application uses.
“Before the customer started using the mobile ozone system, they used chemicals for sanitisation, but could not get rid of the bacteria,” Trond Storebø said.
“Since the introduction of ozone, they have not detected listeria at all within the plant, process machinery or the final product.”
He explained that ozone acts more quickly than chlorine-based chemicals – at a concentration of 2,5 mg/l disinfection is almost instantaneous – and it destroys the

“The use of ozone has made the products safer, enhanced the shelf-life for the fresh produce and protects the company’s brand,” Trond Storebø added.

the factory because ozone also removes the slippery fish-film from the floor. This has provided a better working environment for everyone, and in addition the use of ozone is a practical application since it is produced safely on site and allows the company the possibility to produce their own disinfectant.”

MAKING AQUACULTURE MORE TRANSPARENT
By launching its fi rst ever online dashboard, Iceland is shining a light on its fi sh farming sector and taking new steps to share as much information as possible
Unveiled by Fisheries Minister Kristján Thór Júlíusson, hopes are high that Iceland’s new online dashboard will play a key role in enabling information on the country’s aquaculture – at sea and on land – to be accessible to the public and the government. The dashboard will highlight everything connected with aquaculture including company locations, data on off shore and land-based production, information on biomass, disease and deaths, sea lice numbers, risk factors and the number of farms that have been issued with operating licenses.
“In 2020, the government decided on the need to officially release detailed information on Iceland’s aquaculture,” said Karl Steinar Óskarsson, Officer in Aquaculture at Matvælastofnun (MAST), the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority.
“The background to this lies with Norway, which has a very detailed dashboard system already, along with Scotland and the Faroe Islands. The main goal of the new dashboard is to put all information on the table. For example, we tend to have a lot of interest from the media on things such as how many licenses have been issued or how much fish is produced. The dashboard takes away a lot of the pressure that we have in answering such queries and enables people to access the information themselves.”
By law, each month fish farms in Iceland are obliged to share information from their production base with MAST,

including the number of fish that are produced, the number of fish that have died or been slaughtered and the average number of lice on each fish. This enables MAST to monitor what is happening on each farm and now, it will form part of the new dashboard. The number of deaths is shown as a percentage along with the number of fish in each offshore cage. Because MAST’s main focus is the issuing of licenses and monitoring of fish farming systems, in particular escapees, information on the type of feed that is used on a farm as well as processing and harvesting methods is currently unavailable. The dashboard began this spring and is still in the trial-and-error stage.
Staying informed
Iceland has a highly vocal sports fishing lobby, which is strongly opposed to fish farming and claims that the industry is a threat to wild salmon stocks. In this sense, and because local interest in aquaculture is relatively high, Karl Steinar Óskarsson says that there is a duty to keep people informed of what is going on. Doing so may also help to alleviate some of the opposition towards aquaculture, he says.
“So far we haven’t had any reaction to the dashboard from those who are opposed to aquaculture,” he said.
“But what they want is to promote land-based aquaculture and that information is available to them if they want it. Compared to other countries, the scale of Iceland’s aquaculture
8 The Laxar
aquaculture site in Reyðarfjörður in Iceland’s Eastfjords
is very small although it is growing a lot and fast. Luckily there haven’t been any great issues such as big escapes, lice epidemics or serious diseases. The dashboard is quite good if you want an overview of what is happening in Iceland in terms of biomass, production, and deaths, so we hope that making this information available may give those who are opposed to aquaculture a better picture of the industry.”
Land-based aquaculture facilities have long been drawing attention around the world as a more sustainable alternative than open water fish farms, and in Iceland, efforts are underway to establish more such operations. Thanks to its mix of climatic and geological conditions, the country is also particularly well suited to land-based fish farming, and applications for land-based farms have been rising, he said.
With this trend likely to continue, information on the landbased sector will become a key part of the dashboard.
Fish farmers know that aquaculture is one of the most efficient ways of producing protein and that salmon farming is one solution to the world’s food challenges. With consumers keen to make informed choices on what they buy and who from, and wanting further information on seafood production, offering greater visibility into salmon farming is a significant challenge for Iceland’s aquaculture. At the same time, it’s a great opportunity for better conversations with stakeholders, local communities and more positive, solutionfocused outcomes.
“Being transparent is a really great tool for communication, and I think it’s extremely important to keep information visible for everybody,” Kalr Steinar Óskarsson commented.
Real data
“That is what we are trying to do with the dashboard. Conversations can also be based on real data as opposed to a perceived understanding of what is going on. This is extremely useful and allows us to have much more practical, open talks.”
While transparency and traceability are developing fast in the broader seafood and fish farming sector, Iceland’s dashboard is only just beginning. In addition to the information it already contains, he hopes to see more data on what aquaculture is doing for local communities, how it might be affecting other industries such as housing and house prices, how many jobs it’s creating, the value of the fish it produces compared to other types of fish and how it’s making money for the people. Bringing all this information, which is currently scattered across many institutions, into the dashboard will enable users to see the whole picture beyond aquaculture.
“Going forward, our focus is on land-based aquaculture and we plan to put all information on it into the dashboard,” Karl Steinar Óskarsson said.
“We are currently deciding exactly what we are going to share, for example the production of smolts or the production of fish as food. We want to get a better overview of the landbased business, and after that we will be tweaking the information, working out what we can fix, what can be done better and what to add next. I hope we can develop the dashboard even more so it provides a whole picture of the industry and how aquaculture is progressing in Iceland. Hopefully we will also be able to translate everything into English in the future.”
“I believe that in five years from now, the dashboard will be even better,” he continued. “Aquaculture is an extremely important business for the Icelandic economy. It is still a very young industry but it’s already generating a lot of income for the country. It will be really interesting to see how much will be produced and how the industry will progress in the future. The global population will always need fish and if we want more fish, we will need aquaculture so the dashboard is going to be really important in reassuring the public of the standard of aquaculture here in Iceland.”

BRAZILIAN FISH FARMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT EUROPEAN BAN
Once hopeful about President Jair Bolsonaro’s administration and the promise of long-awaited changes in the aquaculture legislation, Brazilian producers are now increasingly impatient with the government’s failure to push for a reopening of the European market for Brazil’s farmed fi sh, after three years of a ban, reports Eduardo Campos Lima
Since 2018, when the EU closed the bloc to Brazilian fi sh after identifying problems in the industry, tilapia and shrimp producers have been penalised for something they didn’t do, said Francisco Medeiros, President of the Brazilian Pisciculture Association (Peixe BR).
“Our segment has been growing every year, but we could have been growing much more if we were able to export to the European Union,” he said, adding that many other countries, including major tilapia consumers like Israel, follow the EU protocols and are equally inaccessible to Brazilian fish farmers’ production.
“We have been asking the Ministry of Agriculture to assume a stronger attitude and take the Brazilian aquaculture segment’s demands ahead with the EU. But no concrete measures have yet been taken,” Francisco Medeiros said.
Brazilian aquaculture grew by 5.9% in 2020, with a production of 802,930 tonnes. Tilapia was the most important part of this volume, with 486,155 tonnes and a growth of 12.5%. Brazil is currently the world’s fourth biggest tilapia producer, with exports to the United States, Chile, China, and Japan.
The fish farmers recognise that a significant change took place at the end of 2020. The Brazilian government approved in December a much-needed law concerning the use of national waters for aquaculture, making much easier a procedure that previously could take as long as ten years.
“The use of the State’s water reservoirs by fish farmers entailed a highly bureaucratic process. It was based on a 2003 law that we had been criticising for years,” FransiscoMedeiros said.
With the new law, such reservoirs are almost automatically designated for aquaculture. Producers just have to present their projects digitally and wait for a rapid analysis to be carried out. Under the new procedure, producers who had been waiting for several years to have projects approved were recently granted the right to implement them. This was the case of Camilo Diógenes, owner of tilapia producer Rede do Peixe.
“Our production is in Castanhão Dam, in Ceará State, but it has been suffering with extended droughts for years. So, we initially presented a project to the government in 2010 in order to launch an operation in a reservoir in neighbouring Piauí State,” he explained, adding that the complexity of the process, with each phase taking months, was a huge disappointment.
“The Federal Government’s environmental agency took six months just to send the process to Piauí State’s environmental agency, which was the competent authority to analyse our project,” he said.
As the authorisation was taking too long, Camilo Diógenes began sporadic production, something that most fish farmers in the country are obliged to do due to the disproportional legal requirements.
“However, this way we could not submit a project to get a loan from a bank, for instance. That is extremely negative for Brazilian aquaculture,” he added.
With the new system, at the beginning of 2021 Rede do Peixe’s request was finally approved within 10 days.
“Now we are waiting for the approval of a processing plant license. We hope to be able to begin to export soon,” he said.
Peixe BR has welcomed the new legislation and estimates that the measure could quintuple Brazilian production within a decade.
Brazil’s fish farmers have reasons to celebrate: fish consumption in Brazil has grown since the beginning of the pandemic and the Brazilian Real is devalued now, which favours exports.
“But we need the European market to be open for us,” Fransisco Medeiros concluded.

DELOUSING SYSTEMS FITTED BY TÓRSHAVN YARD
The MEST shipyard in Tórshavn earlier this summer completed the installation of an advanced delousing system for Bakkafrost and is working on outfi tting a second vessel for operation in Scotland
MEST has been responsible for the design, production and installation of an A-frame and a delousing system supplied by Norwegian company FLS on board Bakkafrost’s Martin.
The A-frame is designed and developed to operate under challenging conditions in the Faroese fjords. The A-frame has a height of 12 metres and an 8.50 metre width, and has a 24 tonne lifting capacity. This has been tailor-made to meet Bakkafrost’s requirements and includes a special footbrigde on the A-frame, providing staff easy and safe access so they can get as close as possible to the cages.
The yard also installed on board Martin a delousing system from FLS, and combined with the A-fame arrangement enables Bakkafrost to undertake efficient salmon delousing operations. The system was successfully tested and Martin was put into delousing operation a few days later.
In competition with international shipyards, MEST also secured the contract to repurpose former platform supply vessel Bakkanes into a delousing vessel to operate for Bakkafrost in Scotland.
“We are very pleased to have completed the design and installation work successfully for Bakkafrost. On the basis of this successful project we are delighted to have won this new project which is to rebuild a PSV supply vessel into a delousing vessel (FFUV) for Bakkafrost’s Scottish operation,” said MEST Shipyard CEO Mouritz Mohr.
“We are very excited to begin this project, and we look forward to working with MEST,” commented Bakkafrost’s Operations Manager Sverri Kjærbæk.
“We have previously had great collaborations with MEST, who also repurposed our FSV Róland. Bakkanes will be equipped with the same delousing system as Martin. So we are confident that MEST will carry out the project satisfactorily.”
Repurposing Bakkanes is an extensive job and includes sandblasting, painting, installation of four cranes and a hawser system as well as installation of the new FLS delousing system. All timber and steel has to be removed from the deck in preparation for the installation of the FLS system. A new A-frame is being fabricated, similar to the one fitted to Martin, plus four Melcal cranes and winches are installed, plus some changes and adjustments are being made to the accommodation and on the bridge.

GARWARE V2 TECHNOLOGY 100% ANTIBACTERIAL
Copper microparticles incorporated in Garware’s V2 mesh, used in fi sh tanks and cage nets, skirts and ropes, have been shown to be eff ective against bacteria responsible for Piscirickettsiosis (SRS) and Tenacibaculosis
Photo: Garware
The V2 technology has been developed in response to the main sanitary challenges of the Chilean aquaculture sector. Evaluation by ADL Diagnostic Chile has confi rmed that after 24 hours of exposure, it is 100% eff ective. ADL Diagnostic Chile’s audit indicates that the Garware STAR V2 netting has components that have an active antibacterial eff ect against Piscirickettsia salmonis and Tenacibaculum dicentrarchi, signifi cantly after a four-hour exposure and 100% eff ective after 24 hours.
“It is extremely important, since both bacteria are two of the main culprits for fish mortality and the consumption of antibiotics in Chile. P. salmonis is found mainly in Chile, but Tenacibaculum is also in the northern hemisphere. This study rules out the possibility of Garware V2 systems harbouring bacterial diseases,” commented Garware Technical Fibres commercial manager Francisco Serra.
The recent evaluation was carried out with T. dicentrarchi and P. salmonis, using methodology implemented by ADL based on the British Standards Institution protocol for the evaluation of disinfectant products for veterinary use.
Garware STAR V2 mesh sections and HDPE mesh sections of approximately 1g were obtained, the segments were immersed in a solution of hard water, organic matter and a standard bacterial suspension of P. salmonis (strain PM-15972) and T. dicentrarchi (strain PM-90951) adjusted to a microbiological procedure -of 0.5 McFarland equivalent to 108 cfu /mL- incubated at 18 ° C for one, four, 24 and 48 hours.
“The effectiveness of Garware’s V2 technology was amazing. We did not expect such a high efficacy, at four hours we already had a significant effect and at 24 hours we registered 100% efficacy. Its effect is undeniable, even more remarkable, if we consider that we were working with a matrix that has copper particles. In sanitary terms, the active antibacterial mesh aims to control the environment, helping to keep bacterial loads low in the farms, with a better sanitary condition of the fish,” said Álvaro Sandoval, head of R&D projects at ADL Diagnostic Chile.
“Although there were evaluations of the V2 technology in other regions, our results validate this and even better, since it was carried out with field strains present in outbreaks of clinical cases in the national environment..”
Garware developed the V2 technology, adding metallic copper to various HPDE product lines, after research and development and field trials which commenced in 2017. A special procedure for V2 incorporates metallic copper microparticle inlays in the manufacture of HDPE fibre, in which the final product can release in a controlled way the elements that will allow the nets to stay clean in the water for a longer time. This uses less copper than in paints and the V2 technology does not flake. It has a positive impact on the environment, due to the reduction of the release of copper and organic residues and the reduction of dirt. Garware V2 nets have completed production cycles in Norway, Canada, Chile, Australia, Scotland and have shown positive results in delayed fouling and low mortality due to disease.
According to the company, it is notable that most of the Tenacibaculosis cases that occurred in Norway and Chile involve topical infections of the epidermis, capable of producing mortality, with environmental consequences and their correlation with endemic diseases such as Piscirickettsiosis. Opportunistic diseases such as Tenacibaculosis could be associated with SRS.

ANTARCTIC DELIVERED TO KILLYBEGS OWNERS
The new Antarctic, which docked for the fi rst time in Killybegs at the end of July, is built to the Karstensen yard’s own 63 metre design which has been the basis for a series of new pelagic trawlers going back quite some years, and there is already a K63 in operation in Ireland as Paula
With a string of deliveries behind it and a healthy orderbook ahead of it, Karstensens Skibsværft has established itself as the leading builder of pelagic fi shing vessels for the North Atlantic region. The latest delivery is for the Antarctic Fishing Company in Ireland, the fi rst time that this owner has come to Karstensen for a newbuild.
Teresa and Eamon McHugh have headed the Antarctic Fishing Company for 25 years, starting out in 1987 with the first Antarctic, acquired from Eamon’s bother Kevin McHugh. This vessel was replaced in 1997 with a newbuild, and the latest Antarctic is the fifth fishing vessel in the family’s ownership.
The Irish flag was raised over the new trawler’s wheelhouse on a hot day in Skagen, by the youngest members of the McHugh family, Eamon Óg and Gerard Jr, under the watchful eyes of Teresa and Eamon McHugh.
Antarctic’s operating company is very much a family business, with sons Eamon J handling the shore side of the business and Gerard in the wheelhouse, while Eamon McHugh, a well-known figure in the pelagic community with a forty-year seagoing career behind him, will continue to skipper the new Antarctic.
Antarctic has an overall length of 62.60 metres, with a breadth of 12.80 metres and depth to the shelterdeck of 7.80 metres. Construction took place at Karstensen’s yard at Gdynia in Poland and the semi-outfitted hull was brought to the yard in Denmark for completion, arriving in Skagen in January this year.
Accommodation on board is for a crew of twelve in wellappointed single en-suite cabins at man deck level, plus skipper’s and mate’s cabins in the superstructure, plus crew areas fitted out to the usual Karstensen standard.
Although based on the proven Karstensen 63 metre pelagic vessel pattern, the design, specifications and arrangement have been completed by the yard’s design team in co-operation with Antarctic’s owners to suit Eamon McHugh’s precise requirements, with the focus on building a pelagic trawler with safe working conditions and comfortable crew quarters, while also achieving the best possible catch handling and storage facilities and optimised fuel consumption. Antarctic is fitted out with equipment selected to make it possible to hit these targets, including a 2499kW MAN 9L27/38 main engine turning a 3800mm diameter MAN VBS940 propeller via a Renk RSVL-900 reduction gearbox, which is also runs a 1650 kWe Cummins AvK shaft generator from the power take-off.
The energy arrangement on board is for the gearbox PTO top be clutched in to produce electrical power while hauling and shooting, working on the basis of when there is a demand for full power to the deck equipment systems, there is not likely to be a need for full propulsion power, so the main engine can serve as the power source for both propulsion and hydraulic systems. While towing the gear, the shaft generator can be clutched out for the main engine to provide solely propulsive power, while energy for electrical systems can be sourced from the 930 kWe Caterpillar C32 and the
8 Antarctic is
the latest in a long series of 63-metre pelagic vessels built at the Karstensen yard in Skagen
565 kWe Caterpillar C18 gensets. Power while alongside is provided by the 115 kWe Mitsubishi harbour set.
The two Caterpillar gensets connect into main switchboard, controlled by the vessel’s DEIF Power Management System. Antarctic’s power system is arranged for sliding frequency (60-50 Hz), by means of frequency converters for 400/440 V and a clean power static supply/converter for 230 V. This allows the main engine and propeller revolutions to be reduced by 17%.
Deck hardware from Killybegs
Eamon McHugh went to Killybegs company SeaQuest for Antarctic’s 175-210 bar hydraulic deck machinery, and the layout places the two 61.80 tonne trawl winches on the aft side of the wheelhouse and above the main working deck. The deck has a pair of 61.80 tonne net drums lined up to lead to the hydraulically operated gates in the transom, each of which has three hydraulic guiding-on poles.
SeaQuest also supplied the 51.50 tonne topline and 43.60 tonne winches, as well as mooring and anchoring systems. A 4t/12m crane is located on the foredeck, while there are a netsounder winch, a 4t/12m powerblock crane and a 4t/10m fish pump crane mounted on the aft gallows.
The port side of the aft deck is laid out for pumping catches aboard, and SeaQuest also supplied the two 18-inch fish pumps, fish hose and hydraulic hose reels, as well as hydraulic drive systems for both the winches and other equipment, and for the fish pumps.
Catches pumped at the stern pass forward to the separator box on the foredeck and from there are routed to the manifold and the selected RSW tanks.
Another Killybegs company, KER Group, was selected to supply both the RSW and vacuum discharging systems for Antarctic, which has a 1370 cubic metre capacity in its eight tanks.
The two 800kW RSW installations operate with pairs of 600 cubic metre/hour circulation pumps and 280 cubic metre/hour condenser pumps, with the RSW circulation system working with remotely operated RSW valves through the KER control system. The vacuum discharging system has three 66kW compressor units and three 2800 litre tanks.
Both SeaQuest and KER Group have long associations with Eamon McHugh, but this is these are the first complete installations that these companies have supplied for fitting at Karstensen.
Another Killybegs supplier, Barry Electronics, was selected to supply and fit the full set of electronics for Antarctic.
The wheelhouse with its 360° visibility is laid out with two Nor-Sap 1600 chairs, each flanked by an island unit, facing the banks of screens, including four 55-inch Hatteland displays with a BEL Pacific MS-6C Video Matrix to channel data feeds from the vessel’s fishfinding and navigational electronics. There are an additional three 26-inch Hatteland screens, and twelve 32-inch Neovo screens.
The fishfinding sonars are Furuno low frequency FSV-25S and high frequency FSV-75 sets, and the trawl-mounted sonar is a Simrad FS-70, while Marport supplied the array of wireless trawl sensors. Echo sounders on board Antarctic are a Simrad ES-80 and Furuno FCV-1900 and FSS-1BB sets, and the current indicator is a Furuno CI68. Plotters are MaxSea Time Zero and Olex 3D plotting sets.

NORWEGIAN SEINER FROM TURKISH YARD
The Özata shipyard in Turkey has delivered versatile purse seiner/seine netter Vikanøy to its Norwegian owners
“It was great to work so closely with the ship owner and Özata shipyard,” said NSK Ship Design’s CEO Mats Nygaard Johnsen.
“There is a great deal of experience between us and we pulled together proven systems with the very latest technology to create something special. By optimising the hull lines, we can really streamline the vessel, but it’s how the machinery is managed that makes the difference to the emissions.”
The 44.20 metre, 11.50 metre breadth Vikanøy is designed by NSK Ship Design and has been built for Havbor AS. Replacing an older vessel of the same name which was built in 2011, Vikanøy has capacity to hold catches in its 490m3 RSW tanks, as well as opportunities for landing live fish, and has a Melbu processing facility for groundfish species at main deck level. The new vessel has quotas for mackerel and herring fisheries and for haddock, saithe and cod.
Kuldeteknisk supplied the chillers and the pumping and discharging systems are from C-Flow.
The main engine is a 1920kW Yanmar 6EY26W, powering a Finnøy reduction gearbox and controllable pitch propeller. The gensets are are a pair of 450kWe Margen/Scania/Leroy Somer units and a single 70kWe Margen/Perkins/Leroy Somer set. Thrusters are from Brunvoll.
Vikanøy has Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, which uses a chemical reaction to neutralise the NOx in exhaust gases. This cost-effective and proven NOx reduction solution is capable of achieving the emission limits set by IMO TIER III. This technology has been beneficial achieving compliance with emissions regulations and also it reduces the environmental footprint of the vessel.
The deck is laid out with DMT winches, and the Triplex/ Rapp purse seine handling hardware and deck cranes are from Macgregor. The deck layout also features the first electric fish pump and fish pump crane with integrated cable drum supplied to a new Norwegian coastal vessel.
Accommodation is for a crew of eight and outfitting of crew areas has been completed by Accomar.

BEAMY AUTOLINER FOR ICELANDIC COMPANY
Looking to replace their older vessel with a newbuild off ering more capacity and greater comfort, Icelandic fi shing company Blakksnes earlier this year took delivery of new longliner Hulda GK-17, built by Trefjar
The 12.50 metre, 6.70 metre breadth Hulda departs from the usual pattern of the yard’s Cleopatra designs, notably with the signifi cantly greater than usual beam, while remaining within the 30gt limitation for Iceland’s hook and line fi shery management regime.
The design was developed with Ráðgarður, and while based on the conventional Cleopatra layout, some sections have been completely redesigned.
“The bow section is based on an existing mould and is much the same as the standard boats, but the demands of working with such a broad hull mean that the underwater section of the hull has been completely remodelled so that Hulda performs well when pushing into the weather or operating in a following sea,” said Trefjar’s Högni Bergthórsson.
“What also makes Hulda different is the accommodation, with eight bunks in four separate cabins, so it’s no problem to rotate two crews, with each crewman having his own bunk. This means that Hulda has the capacity in both the fishroom and accommodation space to work extended trips if required.”
He added that a sister vessel is currently under construction for another Icelandic customer, with a delivery date scheduled for late 2021.
Placing the wheelhouse one level up from the usual position in a vessel of this length means that Hulda has a fulllength working deck, laid out with a dedicated hauler room on the starboard side with a hauling hatch in the shelterdeck. The HV200 longline hauler the racking system and the baiter located by the aft shooting hatch are all from Mustad Autoline. The Line Controller system provides the skipper with a constant readout of progress while hauling, including a total of how many hooks had a fish on and the baiting rate. The line tension and speed can be adjusted from the wheelhouse. The 22,000-hook system consists of Mustad 12 hooks rigged on 7.20mm line.
The bait tub is from Beitir and Stálorka supplied the bait racks, as well as rails on the upper deck and other steelwork on board.
The catch handling layout includes bleeding and cooling facilities supplied by Micro, as well as reception and bycatch tanks. The icemaker and the pre-chilling system are from Kæling. The midships fishroom is laid out for up to 54 tubs, each with a 460 litre capacity.
Electronics in the wheelhouse include WASSP F3i multibeam and Simrad ES80 split-beam echo sounders. A JRC JLN-652 Doppler Current log helps assess conditions when shooting the line away. Plotters are Olex and Maxsea TimeZero sets. The autopilot is a Simrad AP70 MKII, and is linked to the Quick aft and stern thrusters to come into play automatically to keep Hulda on track when hauling at slow speeds.
Hulda’s wheelhouse electronics are routed through an array of AG Neovo QX-43 4K PRO displays.
With the standard Trefjar arrangement placing the engine room aft, Hulda has an 800hp Doosan 4V222TI main engine powering a free-standing ZF 665 reduction gearbox, all supplied by Ásafl, who also supplied the pair of 105kW Scam/FPT gensets, the stern gear and propeller, the propeller knife, pumps and the steering gear, while the rudder is from KN Vélsmiðja.

The launch of the third in the series of new factory trawlers being built for the Russian Fishery Company was watched by Russian President Vladimir Putin as the new vessel was floated off at the Admiralty Shipyard in St Petersburg.
Mekanik Sizov is one of the series of ten such vessels being built for RFC under the government investment quotas initiative, and is due to be commissioned in 2022.
“Russia’s fisheries infrastructure is now receiving a lot of attention as an integral part of our food security,” said Deputy Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut, the new trawler’s godmother, commenting that 79 agreements have already been signed under the investment quotas initiative.
“The Ministry of Agriculture has a strong interest in such projects. These will allow us to deliver high-quality finished products and, of course, increase the value of exports.”
The RFC vessels will operate under challenging conditions, while the high-tech production systems on board are expected to enable the production of high-value products from pollock and herring catches, including the production of surimi.
“With the commissioning of new trawlers, the Russian fishing industry will have at its disposal a fundamentally new level of efficiency,

environmental friendliness, and safety,” said RFC general director Viktor Litvinenko.
Mekanik Sizov is named after fishing industry veteran Vladimir Abramovich Sizov (1936-2013), who spent more than 30 years to working on whalers and trawlers.
GENTLE DE-LOUSING VESSEL
The project began in the summer of 2018 when Inverlussa came to Macduff Ship Design with a request for a de-lousing vessel with fi sh health and welfare front of mind
Completed earlier this year by Fergusons Marine Engineering, Kallista Helen is the fi fth vessel built to a Macduff design for Inverlussa and is now in service with Scottish Sea Farms, following some delays to the fi nal outfi tting and commissioning of its Thermolicer equipment in Shetland.
Central to the layout is a Thermolicer designed and engineered by ScaleAQ, the first of its kind to be constructed in Scotland. A sudden rise in water temperature is a wellknown method of killing lice so the Thermolicer has been developed to bathe the fish in temperate water for a short period. This causes the lice to die and fall off the fish, after which they are separated from the water using a 500-micron filtration system and collected to be removed from the marine environment. Wider pipes with an overall straighter and simpler layout create a gentler experience for the fish. This method allows for de-licing up to 120 tonnes per hour of fish.
The process uses only seawater, eliminating any chemical discharge into the sea. To protect this installation, it has been enclosed in a dedicated shelter deck to shield it from the elements. In turn, this provides a safer working environment for the crew as well as better operational efficiency and improved seaworthiness. Additionally, it provides a large area on the top deck for cargo and the three HS Marine AK 40 cranes. The 40 t/m cranes have a max15.1 metre outreach and can all operate simultaneously. This capability allows the vessel to operate the entire system including all intakes and return systems, minimising dependence on other workboats while on site. Incorporation of cargo space and container latching points in the top deck allows for the haulage of ISO tanks should it be required.
The systems and machinery on board have a high peak electrical load, requiring large engine room that spans over half the length of the hull. Propulsion power is derived from two Cat C32 main engines delivering a total power of 1300hp, and the engines are paired with two ZF W1800 reverse reduction gearboxes. The shafts are connected to twin fixed pitched 1500mm propellors which are combined with low drag nozzles, supplied by Kort propulsion, to improve free running speed while maintaining a bollard pull of 15 tonnes.
The 26.50 metre by 12 metre beam Kallista Helen also has two Cat C32 generators, providing 860kW each. These power the thermolicing equipment, including the heating elements used to warm and maintain the temperature in the 22,000 litres of seawater contained in the fish treatment system. They also provide power for the fish pumps and a 130m3/h pump used to fill the system. The pumps used to bring the fish on board to begin the treatment are large vacuum pumps as these are relatively gentle on the fish and offer high fish welfare. To properly delouse the fish the system’s water is required to be at 28⁰C to 34⁰C depending on seawater temperatures however, there is a heat recovery system in place to draw heat from the engines and transfer it to the delousing system, saving on both fuel usage and carbon emissions. Smaller Cat C4.4 auxiliary engines provide power when the main generators are not in use.
