Norwegian Electric Systems will provide propulsion and auxiliary electric drives, power generation, switchboards and power management systems for the live fish carrier being built by Zamakona Shipyard Bilbao
Norwegian Electric Systems (NES), a subsidiary of HAV Group ASA, has secured a contract with Zamakona Shipyard Bilbao to deliver a complete power package and system integration for a new live fish carrier being built for Brønnbåt Nord.
The contract covers the supply of an integrated electrical power system, including the electric motor for propulsion and auxiliary drive, power generator, distribution transformers, AC/DC switchboards, motor control and starters, and a power management system.
NES will also undertake integration of the complete power system and provide commissioning support following installation on board the vessel.
The project builds on NES’ established relationship with Zamakona Shipyard and expands the company’s customer base to include Brønnbåt Nord.
“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,” says Siv Remøy-Vangen, managing director of Norwegian Electric Systems.
