Following deliveries of crew transfer boats and other ProZero workboats to Norway, Tuco Marine has now concluded another delivery of a 15m high-pressure cleaning boat to Norwegian AKVA Marine Services.
The 15-meter workboat is the second 15m High Pressure cleaning boat, AKVA Marine takes over from Tuco. And the delivery sea trails where handled by AKVA Marine Services, Managing Director, Karl Johan Ferkingstad and Fleet Manager Jarle Birkeland.
The 15m ProZero HPC boat is built from composite materials. This reduces the structural weight of the vessel and ensures low maintenance and superior durability. Thanks to the low weight and the twin inboard diesel engines connected to the distinctive Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system with forward-facing, counter-rotating propellers, the vessel is capable of operating at more than 33 knots. The union of low weight and efficient propulsion results in impeccable control and handling, world-class fuel efficiency and minimal environmental impact.
“We are extremely happy to deliver this fantastic vessel and once again prove that our ProZero workboat concept is a great tool for owners seeking top performance and reliability while also taking great care of the crews on board. And doing a second successful delivery to the same customer is always a pleasure” says Jonas Pedersen, Managing Director of Tuco Marine.
The boat has been sold to AKVA Marine Services in collaboration with Tuco Marine’s local partner on the fish farming market, and where handed over after successful sea trials, by ProZero Norway ́s Kjetil Nygaard together with co-owner and project manager Jakob Frost from Tuco Marine.
