Saint-Petersburg based Severnaya Verf shipyard has launched the first serial processing trawler of Project 170701, says IAA PortNews reporter.
The ship named the Kapitan Geller is intended for operation in the North Atlantic. Concept and detailed design of one of the world’s most advanced fishing ships has been developed by Nautic Rus, a domestic design company.
With its hull shape, the ship will feature enhanced seaworthiness and energy efficiency.
The ship’s plant will ensure complete processing of catches: production of frozen fillets and other types of fish products, tinned cod liver, fishmeal and other byproducts.
Automated palletizing system will let reduce labor input and unloading time. Its efficiency has already been tested by NOREBO on other ships.
Following the launching, the trawler will undergo completion of hull shaping works, installation of equipment and pipelines.
The ship was named after deep-sea master Stanislav Geller (1936 - 2006).
The series of sea-going processing trawlers built by the shipyard for NOREBO will number 10 units. Severnaya Verf and NOREBO also signed a contract for construction of four long-liners of Project 200101 for the Far East Basin.
Key characteristics of 170701 ship: length – 81.6 m, width - 16 m, speed – 15.5 knots, displacement – 5,500 t, main engine power – 6.2 MW, production capacity - 150 tonnes of fish per day, freezing capacity – 100 tonnes of fish per day.
