The New Zealand-based ship owner Aurora Fisheries (part of the Solander Group) is building a new freezer trawler at Tersan Shipyard in Turkey, and Teknotherm is proud to be assigned to be the supplier of the freezing system on board this new vessel.
The freezing-in of products will be by plate freezers, all served by the ammonia freezing machinery which will also keep the storage hold and freezing hotel at low temperatures, as well as seaswater and fresh water cooling systems.
The vessel is designed by Skipsteknisk, and will be built and arranged for single pelagic and demersal trawl for catching Southern Blue Whiting, Jack Mackerel and Ling as well as Squid and Hake in the areas around New Zealand.
The new vessel will be 80 meters long, feature a state of art bridge and fish factory, and offering maximum energy efficiency. The vessel is planned to accommodate up to 50 people on board with spacious living areas and social amenities.
Planned delivery of ship is late 2025.
