HAV Group company Norwegian Electric Systems (NES) has been awarded a contract by Zamakona Shipyard of Bilbao, Spain, for delivery of the power package and system integration for a live fish carrier for Brønnbåt Nord that is being constructed at the yard.
NES’ scope of supply includes a complete power package including electric motor for propulsion and auxiliary drive, power generator, distribution transformers, AC/DC switchboards, motor control and starters, a power management system and integration of the entire system. NES will support with commissioning of the system once installed on board the vessel.
Siv Remøy-Vangen, NES MD, said: “Zamakona is a familiar partner to NES, and we are delighted to welcome Brønnbåt Nord as a new customer on this project. Hybridification has become close to a default specification on newbuild live fish carriers as it delivers substantial efficiency gains. We have a solid track record in equipping such vessels with electric power systems, and we believe this was instrumental in securing this contract.” s
NES will commence engineering and procurement work in 2026, with equipment deliveries planned for 2028.
