Hybrid vessel ‘Fosnasund’ delivered to Abyss AS
Salthammer Båtbyggeri AS delivered the hybrid vessel Fosnasund to Abyss AS on 25 April 2023.
In brief
The hybrid vessel Fosnasund has been delivered by Salthammer Båtbyggeri to Abyss. The 24.8-metre vessel combines a large battery pack, high crane capacity and a working deck of 170 m².
The vessel was developed through close cooperation between the shipyard, vessel owner and technology suppliers to provide safer, more efficient and more sustainable vessel service operations.
This is the fourth vessel Salthammer Båtbyggeri has delivered to Abyss following the contract signed in December 2020.
Fosnasund is a CoastCat 25EH designed by Tomra Engineering AS, with an overall length of 24.8 metres and a beam of 13 metres. The vessel has a large battery pack, accommodation for seven people, a 60-tonne deck winch, a mooring plate clamp from Ocein, towing pins, large cranes and a working deck of 170 m².
ABB, the shipyard and the vessel owner have worked closely together to deliver a strong solution that meets new requirements and expectations for the green transition in fish farming.
It is a pleasure to work with Abyss. Their experience as a vessel operator has helped develop a vessel that the company and crew can live and work with safely and efficiently for many years to come. – Lasse Stokkeland
This may well be the finest yet. Fosnasund is a particularly powerful, robust vessel, packed with equipment and up-to-date technology to make service work safe for the crew, efficient for the customer and sustainable for the environment. – Victor Jensen
