The two stern trawlers will be delivered in 2017
The vessels are to be delivered from Kleven’s Myklebust Verft in Gursken, Norway, in February and June 2017, respectively. The 80m-long ICE 1A* vessels will be equipped with a wide range of Rolls-Royce equipment, including the B33:45 main engine, thrusters, automation and winches. According to John Knudsen, president of Commercial Marine at Rolls-Royce, the trawlers will be the first fishing vessels with Rolls-Royce’s Wave Piercing bow design.
