This month's focus on fishing and aquaculture is noteworthy for the fact that half of the newbuild vessels that are reviewed are Norwegian-owned. Aside from the usual trawlers and seiners are wellboats and service vessels fitted with hybrid propulsion systems to reduce their environmental impact during operation in some of the country's more sensitive coastal and offshore areas.
Other countries are also represented this week. We will review new crab boats for Greenland and Russian waters, a prawn catcher built for the challenging conditions of the North Sea off Scotland, and versatile catamaran workboats now in service in New Zealand's coastal areas.
Indeed, the fishing and aquaculture sectors are never short on innovation, as evidenced by the vessels and related technology regularly featured on Baird Maritime.
– "The dimensions and geometry are designed the way the salmon likes best and with the right pressure in terms of depth."
