In brief
Abyss is investing in two high-tech, battery-hybrid workboats from Vaagland Båtbyggeri.
The contract with Vaagland Båtbyggeri marks a milestone in Abyss’ investment in sustainability, capacity and quality.
A green, strategic choice
The vessels form part of the strategy to modernise the fleet and reduce its environmental footprint. The target is a 20 per cent reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030.
Local quality and modern technology
Yard numbers 160 and 162 have been developed with Progreen. They will be 28.9 metres long and 12.6 metres wide, with a 1051 kWh battery pack and two powerful cranes.
The hulls are being built in Poland and fitted out in Nordmøre. The hybrid technology delivers lower emissions, less noise and greater energy efficiency.
The vessels increase flexibility and capacity for round-the-clock operation.
