Aas Mek Verksted, just delivered its latest newbuild 204, “Ronja Christopher”, a 70m Wellboat for Sølvtrans.
With a cargo space of 2500m3 and allowing for up to 375 tonnes of live fish, this Wellboat is a sister vessel of the previous 199 and 200 delivered in July and December 2019.
With more than a decade long relationship, in delivering detailed analysis and production information for both structure and systems, Vera Navis is proud to be one of Aas Mek’s thrusted suppliers for engineering.
Vera Navis would like to congratulate Israel Shipyards for being awarded the construction of a new Carnallite Harvesting Dredger for Dead Sea Works. This new built will introduce several design improvements that will streamline productivity and enhance the human interface.
Vera Navis is proud to be part of this endeavour by being the selected engineering partner to delivering the full production package for structure, systems and outfitting. This will be a challenging project, and will include the translation of an existing 3D solids model into a fully integrated ShipConstructor Project Database.

Aas Mek. Verksted AS delivered on 17 July 2020 its newbuilding no. 203, a wellboat of the type AAS 3002 ST to the shipping company Hordalaks AS. The baptism will take place during the autumn.
The new building is of the yard’s own design with the type designation AAS 3002 ST with a loading capacity of 3000 m2, corresponding to 450 tonnes of live salmon. The boat is arranged for transport of smolt and harvested fish in an open and closed system, as well as arranged for efficient processing of fish. The new building is equipped with UV and filter systems for cleaning and treatment of all circulation and for separating lice when de-lice the fish.
The loading and unloading system is arranged with screening of seawater and fresh water during loading and unloading in connection with de-lice. As well as a newly developed system for direct sorting of the fish when loading via 2 large sorting machines with a capacity of up to 300 tonnes per hour, mounted in a separate vacuum room as part of the loading system.
Vera Navis is proud to be a trusted supplier on detailed engineering services for Aas Mek. Verksted AS.
First of the new Camarc M-Class Pilot series hits the water.
Vera Navis congratulates Camarc Design for this Project Innovation featuring Camarc’s new refined hull for improved fuel efficiency & comfort & an IMO Tier III SCR emissions system.

Shipbuilding is constantly evolving. Connecting with other leaders in the industry is one of the best ways to see how common problems are being solved across shipbuilding.
This October, we gathered dozens of shipbuilding experts from across the industry for the SSI Conference 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal. We asked them to share their insights and experiences on the challenges affecting shipbuilders most today.
If you missed our conference, don’t worry, we’ve turned all that shipbuilding knowledge into a virtual conference, available to you free of charge.
You can expect insights from shipbuilding leaders on:
Solving tough shipbuilding challenges.
The realities of the shipbuilding industry.
Day-to-day technical hurdles.
The future of shipbuilding.
Everything in between.
With 40+ bite-sized, easy to implement, actionable presentations and over 500 minutes of content, there is something for every shipbuilder.
The wellboat, which has a length of 69.96 meters and a width of 17.80 meters, is the ship’s new build number 199 and is built according to the yard’s own design type AAS 2502 ST. “Ronja Explorer” was built based on a completely new design, specially adapted for the transport of smolt and post-smolt to areas that can be difficult to access.
Vera Navis is proud to be a trusted supplier for Aas Mek. Verksted As and had the opportunity to develop the Structural Detail Design and Systems Detail Design for this live fish boat, using ShipConstructor.

This year we renew with holding a plenary Conference on European soil, open as always to all who bear interest in the world of ShipConstructor and related fields. Alternating with the biannual SSI Conference held in North America, hosting a Conference in Europe allows extending the program’s scope to include the somewhat different requirements and cater to the specificities of all our prospects and customers, worldwide. Geographical and cultural differences exist and, while the SSI product range effortlessly bridges them, dedicated presentations and discussions are in order. In fact, to attend both Conferences provides the comprehensive overview so useful in breaking off from legacy and exploiting the SSI product range optimally.
Loosely stated, the SSI Conference 2019 theme is to enhance productivity and increase ROI, topics dear to all. And, perhaps just as unclear to many, to achieve these goals is far easier than most will surmise. After 35+ years in this industry and in this business we continue to witness on a daily basis a litany of missed opportunities. The culprit, more often than not, is the under-use of existing tools brought about by the don’t’ have time to improve syndrome, easily rephrased as i am so busy putting out fires that i cannot take the time to stop starting new ones. Hence the theme of the Conference.
Moreover, we are all witness to and sometimes self-imposed victims of change but, even more so, too often spectators of technological evolution. Then, a competitor who progresses even in just one area will easily take the lead.
SSI coined the Synchronised Shipyard label and first presented it at ICCAS 2015, on which occasion the definition-based model was also introduced. LEAN and AGILE were already part of SSI’s DNA by then, following the birth of the EnterprisePlatform in 2011. All in all, the industry was presented with a disruptive shift in the explanatory paradigm which, perhaps unfortunately for the industry, remains such to this day. It is thanks to those firsts that today the ShipConstructor world is so easily connected to the other cogs and wheels in the ship design and building mechanisms, regardless of their complexity and scope. Several fellow major players in the industry have synchronised with SSI and, as always, some have elected to sponsor and to present at this year’s Conference.
Back to ShipConstructor, a number of sessions are dedicated to making better and more use of what is there already, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the presentation that will have been delivered at ICCAS 2019 on September 25th, when Nick Danese (Founder and CEO at NDAR) will speak about Denis Morais (co-CEO at SSI) paper on the Platform of Platforms concept applied to Digital Twins. In Lisbon, special attention will be paid to the EnterprisePlatform and its several remarkable applications to Business intelligence, Deliverable Archives, integration with ERP and PLM, etc.
Last but not least, SSI’s pioneering work and a symbiotic partnership with ARAS, Canada, have spawned the SSI Shipbuilding PLM, the only out-of-the-box, shipbuilding specific PLM system available today for our industry.
So, there will be a lot to say overall, and a crisp 20 minute rhythm will let us clip along the way to discover tons of ideas on how to enhance productivity and increase ROI – of course, all very nicely supported by outstanding Portuguese hospitality and culinary excellence!
We look forward to sharing an intense yet magic three days of Shipbuilding Excellence with you all!

Mainstay Marine Solutions (UK) has delivered a 26m ALU Monohull Fisheries Protection Vessel (FPV) to Welsh Fisheries. This was part of an order for two FPVs, which also included 19m catamaran.
Built after a concept by Camarc Design (UK), the 26m FPV, named ‘Rhodri Morgan’, will serve the South Fisheries zone and is equipped with a hydraulic Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for a 6.5m RIB, lifting equipment for fishery operations, and a gyro stabilizer to enhance comfort during slow-speed loitering operations.
Vera Navis is proud to be a trusted supplier for both Camarc Design and Mainstay Marine Solutions and had the opportunity to develop the Structural Detail Design for this iconic boat, using ShipConstructor.
