Brimøy

Project Story

Brimøy (previously known as Grotle) is a fishing vessel for Havstjerna AS, built at Poltramp Yard Sp. z o.o. in 2014. The vessel is equipped for longline and gillnet operations and has been developed for a working environment where catch handling, raw material quality, crew and technical systems need to work closely together across changing seasons.

At 21.0 metres long, 8.5 metres wide and with a cargo capacity of 179 m³, the vessel is tailored to its segment of the coastal fishing fleet. The design is not simply about accommodating fishing gear and cargo, but about creating short and safe working lines from catch handling through reception, cooling and storage to unloading.

The vessel is built as a compact longline and gillnet vessel, with an emphasis on the working deck, catch handling and operational reliability in coastal fishing.

The deck arrangement, cargo hold, machinery and accommodation have been designed as an integrated whole to create a vessel that is practical to operate. Good visibility, safe access and the correct positioning of equipment are essential when a small crew needs to work efficiently during periods of challenging weather.

Brimøy demonstrates how a fishing vessel can be adapted to specific fishing gear, local operating patterns and the shipowner's requirements, while maintaining the simplicity that makes the vessel robust in daily operations.
