Following deliveries to the offshore business and the governmental organizations in Norway, Tuco Marine is now also to deliver to the Norwegian Aquaculture industry. Two ProZero 15m boats have been sold as High Pressure Cleaning Boats to Norwegian AKVA Group.
Designed by a team of skilled engineers, through collaboration with multiple world leading aqua cultural experts, the 15 meter boats are developed upon the many requests Tuco has had for specialized Aqua Cultural Workboats from the Tuco Marine ProZero series of Daughter Crafts, Workboats and FRC ́s.
The two 15m ProZero HPC Boats are both going to be built of carbon fiber composites to reduce the structural weights of the vessels. Both of the vessels are capable of cruising at more than 30 knots and are powered by a pair of inboard diesel engines on forward facing propellers in Volvo Pentas IPS system; securing a superior control and world-class hull efficiency to keep fuel consumption at a minimum. Resulting in the lowest possible environmental impact from the boats’ operations.
“Fisheries and aquaculture remain important sources of food, nutrition, income and livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people around the world. And World per capita fish supply, has reached a new record high, thanks to vigorous growth in aquaculture, which now provides half of all fish for human consumption. Therefore, it has been logical for us to target the sector with our fast and highly specialized boats”, says Jonas Pedersen, CEO at Tuco Marine.
