Bygger avansert hybrid brønnbåt
The Aquaship Trident Hybrid Brønnbåt med Batteri-teknologi project involves the construction of advanced battery-hybrid brønnbåter (wellboats) designed to enhance fish health, welfare, and environmental performance in the aquaculture industry. The primary vessel under construction is a high-capacity brønnbåt with 4,000 m³ volume, representing an important addition to Aquaship and Trident Aqua Services' extensive and modern fleet. Alongside this, a service vessel is also being built to support complex operational needs in aquaculture.
Høyteknologisk design og utstyr
The brønnbåten is designed by Norwegian Salt Ship Design and built at the Spanish shipyard Zamakona in Bilbao, a trusted partner with prior deliveries of similar vessels. It features state-of-the-art technology including a significant battery pack for hybrid propulsion, an advanced fish handling system developed by MMC First Process, and a powerful reverse osmosis plant with a freshwater production capacity of 10,000 m³ per day. This fresh water treatment technology is critical in combating sea lice and amoebic gill disease (AGD), improving fish welfare, and generating economic benefits. The service vessel, built by Sletta Verft and designed by Solstrand Trading, complements this by offering specialized equipment such as an ROV for down to 300 meters and a 1,570 kWh battery pack, enabling complex and safe servicing tasks.
Langsiktige partnerskap og bærekraft
The project draws on established long-term collaborations with Zamakona and Sletta Verft, ensuring high build quality and operational reliability. The vessels will adhere to stringent requirements on biosafety, fish welfare, and environmental protection, incorporating cutting-edge green technologies that significantly reduce emissions and environmental footprint. Aquaship/Trident's clear sustainability focus aligns with their strategic growth to develop and operate one of the world's most environmentally responsible and technologically advanced fleets, currently comprising 69 vessels with seven more under construction.
Innovasjon driver global vekst
This construction undertaking reflects a broader industry trend toward sustainability and innovation in the aquaculture sector. By integrating hybrid propulsion and freshwater treatment technology, the project not only improves operational efficiency and fish health but also reduces environmental impact. The strategic inclusion of flexible platforms enables adaptation to diverse customer needs globally, enhancing service delivery. While the timelines and pending approvals were not explicitly detailed, the continued progression of contracts and building activities indicates an active and ongoing implementation phase backed by strong financial and ownership support from entities like American Industrial Partners.
