The history of
Antarctic Krill
– A long term krill partner
The transformation
In 2009 we started a complete design package for conversion of former F/V Thorshøvdi (now Antarctic Sea) from general cargo vessel to beam trawler.
This conversion included yard follow-ups.
Now we have 160 000 tons/year of catch rate.
The modernization
Antarctic Sea – L A W R.
We took major steps in modernizing the Antarctic Krill in 2012 and 2014.
The conversion
In 2018 we started a research project for development of new technology for trawling technology on Calanus offshore.
This included a complete basic design package for conversion from stern trawler to beam trawler.
NSK Ship Design responsibility:
- Air technology
- Ship design integration
Finally we modernized the conversion
From 2017 to 2019 we modernized the F/V Antartic Sea – L A W R.
This included major modernisation of steam and processing related systems.
2019 – F/V Saga Sea minor upgrades of marine systems and processing systems.
