Brunvoll to Supply Extensive Package for 26m Aquaculture Service Vessel

Brunvoll, a leading provider of propulsion and manoeuvring systems, has been selected to deliver a range of equipment for a new compact service vessel designed by Marin Design AS for Moen Marin, including main propulsion, tunnel thrusters and Brunvoll’s BruCon control system. The vessel is designed for high bollard pull, and the additional power will make the vessel more attractive in a demanding sector.

“The single hull design allows us to optimize the propulsion of this aquaculture service vessel for both high bollard pull and good speed, making this a valuable asset for the industry able to perform heavy-duty tasks”, says Vidar Liaskar, Sales Manager in Brunvoll.

The new compact service vessel, designed by Moen Marin, is a single-hull multi-purpose vessel built in steel. The vessel is designed for use in various aquaculture operations, and it is dimensioned for heavier operations, with a relatively high bollard pull. The vessel will be 26 meters long and 12,4 meter in breadth.

Brunvoll will provide a reliable and efficient main propulsion and gear system for the vessel, ensuring that the vessel is able to operate effectively in a wide range of conditions. Additionally, the two tunnel thrusters on the new service vessel will provide excellent manoeuvrability and positioning.

Further, Brunvoll’s BruCon system is a complete control, monitoring, and automation solution for main propulsion equipment, including azimuth systems. It is designed and optimized for the entire range of Brunvoll propulsion and thruster units and will ensure that the vessel is able to operate efficiently and effectively.

With Brunvoll’s advanced equipment onboard, the new compact service vessel designed by Moen Marin is sure to be an asset for the aquaculture industry. The vessel’s compact design, combined with Brunvoll’s reliable and efficient equipment, will help to ensure that it is able to operate effectively even in challenging conditions.

ExploMar Targets Larger Commercial Vessels with New 400HP Electric Outboard ExploMar, a technology company specialising in high-performance electric marine propulsion systems, will offer an early look at its upcoming 400HP electric outboard at METSTRADE 2026, taking place from 17–19 November at RAI Amsterdam (Booth 05.501). The new model signals the company's expansion into higher-power propulsion solutions for larger commercial vessels and more demanding marine operations. Designed to deliver greater power and performance, the 400HP electric outboard aims to extend the potential of electric propulsion across a wider range of commercial applications, including passenger transport, workboats and other vessel operations where performance and operational efficiency are key considerations. ExploMar's existing electric outboard range spans 100HP to 300HP and is already used across fishing boats, passenger ferries, tour boats, patrol boats and aquaculture support vessels. Experience gained from deploying these systems in diverse marine environments has helped establish the company's position in the commercial electric propulsion market and provides a platform for expanding into higher-powered applications. The 400HP model is scheduled to make its official debut at the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) in March 2027, following its preview at METSTRADE 2026. Its introduction will further broaden ExploMar's offering to vessel owners and operators exploring electric propulsion for larger and more demanding commercial fleets.
