Severnaya Verf tests emergency diesel generator on the MT1112XL Marlin freezer longliner
Severnaya Verf Shipyard building a factory freezer-longliner of MT1112XL Marlin project, launched a trial run of the emergency and harbor diesel generator. The longliner is being built for Globus LLC, the shipbuilding company said.
The emergency generator will ensure operation of the vessel in case of emergency situations on the high seas, helping the crew hold out for several tens of hours, fighting for the ship's survivability while waiting for help. The generator will supply the longliners with sufficient power to operate lighting, communications and systems to ensure the safety of seafarers.
In addition, the generator should generate electricity when the vessel docks at ports without connection to the shore power.
“With the launch of this emergency / harbor generator, an important phase of building has been completed. Now we will prepare the launch of the main diesel engines,” said Dmitry Hyaninen, senior shipbuilder.
The vessel engine room modernization is being completed to improve the maintenance of diesel generators.
In March, work was completed on the arrangement of the equipment of the fish factory. The next step will be the installation of hydraulic and cooling systems. In parallel, a wheelhouse is being prepared for bulkhead cladding.
