Brunvoll has signed a contract with Karstensens Skibsværft, Denmark for a propulsion, manoeuvring and control system for ‘Polarbris’, a Danish seiner for the owner Polarbris of Norway, to be designed and built by Karstensens Skibsværft.
The Brunvoll delivery consists of an integrated system with CP-propeller and Gearbox with PTO (Power take-off), with Tunnel Thrusters, a Retractable Azimuth Combi Thruster and BruCon Control System. The propulsion system is a conventional CP propeller with PTO function. This means that the ship can supply surplus energy to the main switchboard from the main engine in PTO mode.
The scope of supply comprises:
- Reduction Gearbox type: ACG600, with PTO: PFCO380
- Controllable Pitch Propeller type: CP68
- Complete shaftline
- Brunvoll HE Nozzle
- Tunnel Thruster, stern, type: FU37 LTC
- Retractable Azimuth Combi Thruster, bow, type: AR63 LNC
- BruCon Control System for Propulsion and Manoeuvring
Brunvoll has successfully secured several contracts in fishing and aquaculture.
Geir-Arne Kaspersen, VP sales, Brunvoll, said: “It is a pleasure to work with engaged customers. Based on their knowledge and eagerness to have efficient technical solutions, we have landed a suitable system configuration for Polarbris.”
Kaspersen further highlights the great commitment with fishing vessel owners in general, as the driving force for development of efficient solutions for sustainable fishing. The interaction with designers, owners and yards has for years given Brunvoll first-hand knowledge of the challenges in the industry that have contributed to product development of optimised systems of propellers, reduction gears, thrusters, and automation and control systems.
