Vard has delivered new factory trawler Sørkapp to Norwegian operator Nergård Havfiske. Built at the Vard Braila yard in Romania and completed at the shipbuilder’s Brattvaag yard, Sørkapp is a sophisticated modern factory trawler – and comes with a roughly NoK500 million price tag.
This is the latest in a series of 80-metre, 17-metre beam factory trawlers Vard has delivered to Nergård in recent years, outfitted with the yard’s own catch handling systems that include live fish storage on board to keep catches in prime condition pre-processing, and ensilage tanks for storing offal and offcuts, ensuring that production is zero-waste.
Sørkapp is built to Vard’s 8 02 design, developed by Vard Design in Ålesund.
Vard Electro has delivered a complete SeaQ package, which brings a high level of automation to the vessel’s management. The flexible SeaQ Integrated Bridge integrates maritime systems easily and intuitively, focusing on optimisation of the operator’s workstation with options to store preferred setups.
The SeaQ package includes SeaQ Micro Grid, SeaQ Energy Storage System, SeaQ Power Management System, SeaQ Integrated Automation System, and SeaQ Green Pilot systems. These provide a full performance overview for managing operations with the aim of power optimisation for reduced emissions.
The cranes and winches have been delivered by Seaonics. These have high dynamic performance, and during shooting away the winches regenerate power back to the SeaQ Energy Storage System.
