Announced contract for innovative service vessel at Nor-Fishing

Finnsnes Dykk & Anlegg (FDA) has contracted a new hybrid service vessel from FMV. The vessel will have a battery pack and hybrid shaft generator installed. This solution will significantly reduce the diesel engines’ operating time. The vessel must be equipped with an electric deck package and winches.

The vessel is equipped with powerful cranes and winches – and the winch charges the vessel’s batteries during operation. A large battery pack means that the vessel can charge on the way out to a job, and then, for example, lie at a fish cage for a whole day without using the diesel engine.
