MS Harald Martin

Nordlaks has taken over MS Harald Martin

The LNG Hybrid Live fish carrier named after Harald Martin, is the second of the series and one of the biggest live fish carrier that Tersan Shipyard has built so far.

The 84 meters long and 19 meters wide vessel is also unique with her propulsion system among her technologically advanced fish handling system. With her two LNG deck tanks and four pieces of fuel conditioning systems, Harald Martin is a significant and fully redundant LNG powered vessel thanks to its very innovative design. The vessel has also Dynamic Positioning System providing to stay in a designated area, with multiple levels of control.The vessel, having a cargo hold capacity of 4300 m3 is also equipped with fish treatment system to remove the sea lies from the fish. She is equipped with spacious and luxuriously appointed accommodation for the crew on board. Designed by NSK Ship Design and built under supervision of DNV, Harald Martin will be one of the most efficient and most advanced vessels of her type.

Harald Martin is the second new wellboat hybrid to be delivered to Nordlaks this year. The sister ship NB1088 MS Bjørg Pauline arrived in Vesterålen this spring.

"It was good to finally take over Harald Martin as well, and we are now very much looking forward to getting the boat safely home and in operation. After arrival in Vesterålen, the vessel will undergo the necessary approvals from the authorities before it is put into operation with the transport of fish to the slaughterhouse on Børøya", says CEO Eirik Welde.

Coming to Vesterålen in November

The vessel is expected to arrive at Vesterålen in November. It will be an anniversary for Nordlaks, which from this date has two gas / battery-hybrid wellboats in operation, and will double its own wellboat capacity.

<----- Roger Mosand and captain Kim Jøran Paulsen have just hoisted the flag on the newly acquired MS Harald Martin.

"The use of gas instead of diesel provides cleaner exhaust gases from the vessel. Gone is the black exhaust, and then the gas turbines must also be more efficient than diesel engines and thus be able to help reduce CO2 emissions. Operationally, this will also be an important step forward for us. Two new vessels give us the necessary capacity on the wellboat side. It gives us even better opportunities for good planning and efficient operation", Welde continues.
