The first trawler in a wave of 5 newbuilds arrived in Iceland late January. The fresh-fish trawler ENGEY RE owned by HB-Grandi was delivered by Celiktrans yard in Turkey early January and is equipped with many innovative functions aiming at fuel savings.
The biggest fuel saving aspects are achieved by having all electric deck winches, supplied by Naust Marine, and a variable RPM main engine for optimal running on all vessel profiles. Naust Marine launched a new product in relation to the variable speed main engine, the Constant Frequency Generator (CFG), also known as a static omformer. The CFG supplies constant electrical frequency for the equipment on board that does not handle variable frequency. This way they can still run the whole vessel on the main engine only, leaving the auxiliary gensets for standby operation only. Naust Marine has to date, supplied this solution to 5 vessels.
