Norwegian Electric Systems AS (NES) has been contracted by Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted (FMV) to supply its Raven INS (integrated navigation system) and Raven JPOS (dynamic positioning system) to a live fish carrier currently under construction.
The Raven INS combines radar, electronic chart display and information system, autopilot/trackpilot, alarms, and relevant sensor data into a single common user interface. This ensures that navigators maintain consistent control and situational awareness across the same displays, regardless of bridge configuration.
‘For this project, a complete turnkey bridge solution is being delivered, comprising a fully integrated navigation system, an integrated DP system, communication equipment, sensors, and associated operator consoles with monitor matrix. This award highlights the competitiveness and advanced capabilities of Raven INS – a fully integrated navigation system delivered as part of a complete turnkey bridge solution,’ said NES managing director Siv Remøy-Vangen.
NES has already started the engineering work , with the bulk of equipment deliveries to be made in the first half of 2027. Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted is procuding major parts of the engineering in the FMV63 project inhouse. This live fish carrier is under construction for Norwegian wellboat operator North Salmon Service.
In October last year, NES was awarded a contract to act as system integrator and deliver power and automation systems to the vessel.
‘We are proud to be selected for another delivery to this innovative live fish carrier. Raven INS, our proprietary fully integrated navigation system, is quickly gaining a reputation among shipowners for its flexibility and user-friendly design. It delivers precise and reliable navigation and is future-ready, already equipped to support autonomous functions,’ said NES sales manager Andreas Rønning Stein.
