Cflow Provides Fish Handling System for Brønnbåt Wellboat

Brønnbåt Nord's largest wellboat to date will be equipped with a complete fish handling system from Cflow in Langevåg, on Norway's west coast. The solutions have been further developed to ensure good conditions for the fish, gentler handling and efficient operations on board.

With a cargo capacity of 5,000 cubic meters, the new wellboat can carry the equivalent of approximately 4.2 million salmon dinners in a single trip to the processing plant.

The investment will help meet growing demand for wellboat capacity in Northern Norway. Brønnbåt Nord is owned by the aquaculture companies Salaks, Gratanglaks and Kleiva Fiskefarm.

The vessel has been designed by NSK Ship Design in Harstad and will be built at Zamakona Shipyard in Bilbao, Spain, with delivery scheduled for 2029. The newbuild will feature battery-hybrid propulsion, an energy-efficient hull design and the capacity to produce up to 10,000 cubic meters of freshwater on board.
