Rolls-Royce receives a package of live fish carriers

According to Rolls-Royce, the company has received the first specially designed live fish carrier ordered by Norwegian shipowner Sølvtrans. According to reports, the ship will be built in Zamakona, Spain and will adopt advanced energy-saving technologies.
To ensure energy efficiency, cost-effective operation and stability, the newly designed NVC 386 live fish carrier will use the newly developed hull design of Rolls-Royce. To reduce energy consumption on board, the ship will use diesel-electric propulsion, including two Bergen C6 diesel engines and one hybrid shaft drive generator.
In order to ensure the efficient transport of live fish under healthy conditions, the user is required to equip the ship with a large temperature-controlled fish tank. At the same time, the design of the ship also focused on the crew living area and working environment. To ensure the comfort of the crew working long hours at sea, the NVC 386 live fish transport boat is equipped with 8 single rooms, a fitness centre and a sauna.
According to Monrad Hide, General Manager of the Fishing Department of Rolls-Royce, “The live fish transport market is a growing market. The order will prove that the company’s advanced ships are maintaining world-leading energy savings, low operating costs and environmental protection. At the same time of performance, consider how to meet the specific requirements of users.
