Kongsberg Maritime is pleased to reveal that it has actually been gotten to develop and also outfit an extremely cutting-edge vessel for the Norwegian krill handling companyRimfrost The ship is to be developed by Westcon, that will certainly finish the vessel at their center in Norway after preliminary building and construction at the Tersan Shipyard inTurkey It is anticipated that the 120m ship will certainly prepare to start procedures in 2022.
The agreement has actually been granted in a number of phases throughout 2020, with the last checked in September 2020. The complete worth of the agreement goes beyond 200 MNOK.
Kongsberg Maritime’s layout integrates modern technology which is predestined to establish a totally brand-new criterion for krill angling in Antarctica in regards to climate-friendliness, sustainability and also optimum source usage, pleasing both DNV GL Clean Design course symbols and also the IMO’s Polar Code.

Extensive use warmth healing from exhaust gases, coolant water and also manufacturing facility procedures will certainly make sure the most effective feasible power exercise, while the large application of electrical elements will certainly restrict the risk of contamination from hydraulic systems.
Much of this cutting-edge modern technology is sourced from KONGSBERG’s thorough item profile, consisting of propulsion, guiding and also deck equipment, power, automation and also telecommunications. A Fishmaster incorporated bridge option making up navigating, fish searching for, catch tracking and also interactions systems will certainly likewise be provided by KONGSBERG, along with remote assistance.
The ship’s introducing layout is strongly concentrated on lasting procedure in among our earth’s most vulnerable ecological communities. With this in mind, the vessel will certainly have the ability to execute a lot of the item handling aboard, making a lot more effective use the krill captured and also therefore decreasing the amount needed. Rimfrost Chief Executive Officer Stig Rem øy clarifies: “This will be the only vessel in the world where health food and food supplements are actually produced at sea immediately after catching. Short and careful processing will have a positive effect upon product quality. This will allow us to develop a number of new products as food additives for humans, animals and farmed fish as well as for pharmaceutical use. We believe this vessel will revolutionise krill fishing in Antarctica.”
Rimfrost acquired its krill permit from the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries based upon the ecological and also cutting-edge elements of the application, along with the vessel’s prepared usage as a study system. There is likewise a choice to build a more vessel.
“It’s inspiring to partner Rimfrost in such an innovative project,” stated Egil Haugsdal, President,Kongsberg Maritime “Here at Kongsberg Maritime we are strongly focused on a sustainable maritime future, and Rimfrost’s vision pairs perfectly with our own. Our deep involvement with this project, both in its design and in its equipment specification, has allowed us to plan a vessel which we believe is a real game-changer. By minimising emissions and maximising the efficient use of energy, we can make our industry smarter, safer and more sustainable.”
