Brunvoll has been chosen to deliver all propulsion, manoeuvring, and positioning systems for a 24-meter service vessel for aquaculture. The vessel is designed by NSK Ship Design and will be built at Havyard Leirvik for handover to ship owner - Nordlaks in 2025.

For a vessel that will operate 24/7, it is vital to minimise overall noise and vibration, and the Brunvoll Low-Noise thruster was the preferred choice.

Compact service vessel

The new compact service vessel for aquaculture will become part of the Nordlaks Maritime fleet and can support tasks and needs 24/7.

A special requirement for the designer and owner was to minimise the noise and vibration from the tunnel thruster in the bow of the vessel. Here the Brunvoll well-proven Low-Noise thruster was chosen to meet this requirement.

BruCon DP0 system

DP0 system includes a follow ROV mode to support the service vessels' subsea operations

In addition to suitable thrusters and propulsion systems, a BruCon DP0 system is supplied. The DP0 system includes a follow ROV mode to support the service vessels' subsea operations.

The stationkeeping abilities that are a core functionality in dynamic positioning will be valuable for a busy vessel in a varying and demanding workday.

BruCon PTC Workstations

The vessel will need to work at multiple locations, often without other suitable options for laying still.

The order for Brunvoll also includes the BruCon Propulsion and Thruster Control (PTC) Workstations, ensuring seamless integration, look and feel on the vessel operating stations.
