The owners of new seiner Jarle Berg, Trond and Børrge Berg, which has been built at the Larsnes Mek Verksted yard, went for a package of electronics from Furuno Norge, delivered and commissioned by HG Teknikk AS.
Designed by Skipskompetanse, the 50.70-metre Jarle Berg is built to a SK-3151 design and has a breadth of 12 metres, and is built to operate as a seine netter and purse seiner with options for landing processed, fresh or live catches, depending on the season and target species.
Named after the brothers’ father, Jarle Berg is the Lofoten company’s third vessel, joining coastal vessels Johan Berg and Sennholmen.
Jarle Berg is a significantly larger vessel and has been built to incorporate a number of high-tech systems, including a Yanmar 6EY26 main engine with a two-step reduction gearbox, a variable speed generator and a take me home-solution, backed up with a 1000kWh battery pack.
The fishing systems installed in Jarle Berg’s wheelhouse include an FCV-38 echo sounder, a low-frequency FSV-25S sonar and a high-frequency FSV-75 sonar, plus a DFF-3D multibeam set, a TimeZero Professional plotting system and a CI-68 log – all from Furuno.
The navigation systems are a TECDIS 2128 set, a FAR-2318 radar, a DRS12A-NXT network radar, an NX-700-B Navtex, an SC-70 satellite compass, an FA-170 AIS unit and a Bridge guard BR-500.
Feeds from all the instrumentation for both navigation and fishing can be presented on large screen, easily controlled with the Furuno BlueBridge Matrix screen management system. This is a complete scalable screen management matrix that can be adapted to all types of vessels. It combines screen control, centralised operation and dimming in a user-friendly manner.
On board Jarle Berg, this controls the main part of screens on the bridge. The skipper’s position and the work station on the bridge wing each have their own touch control panel for the matrix, allowing sources to be presented on the screens in different phases of operation. In addition, remote screens can be controlled from the BlueBridge matrix.
