We recently had the privilege of executing and delivering another engineering project on structural platform detail production elements, to retrofit updated communication SATCOM and ECU units on Portuguese Navy (Marinha Portuguesa) vessels.
The delivery of all detail design and production elements were performed, integrating the initial information from Rhinoceros, and producing on ShipConstructor the final elements and nesting data for shipyard production.
Aas Mek. Verksted AS delivered its newbuilding no. 209, a wellboat type AAS 3002 ST to the owner Sølvtrans AS.
The new «Ronja Azul» has a well volume of 3000m³ distributed over two fish tanks.
The boat is specially adapted for transporting smolt with calls at smolt facilities and areas that can be difficult to access with too large a deep-sea vessel.
It is arranged with a system for zero-emissions during closed transport with monitoring, cleaning and treatment of all water circulation, filter system for collecting lice, UV treatment of water in and out of the cargo holds, auto washing and disinfection facilities, monitoring, regulation and logging of water parameters and system for freshwater treatment of the fish.
Vera Navis Ship Design is proud to be one of Aas Mek’s engineering thrust suppliers.
For this project, we delivered detailed analysis and production information on both structures and systems.
