The Havtrans series sets the standard for medium-sized wellboats in the industry. Havtrans was further refined through Namsos and Steigen and the sister ship Reisa will now serve as a new, useful tool for handling and transporting salmon. Four Havyard ships have been delivered so far, and two more are scheduled for delivery from Havyard New Ship Technology to Norsk Fisketransport later this year. Reisa has a circular tank capacity of 3,250m~3. Kjetil Myren, the Designer with responsibility for the wellboat segment at Havyard Design & Solutions, says that circular tanks enable the vessel to transport larger quantities of fish while ensuring calmer conditions and higher survival rates, thereby enhancing fish welfare. "The special hull design makes the Havtrans vessels move smoothly through the water, reducing both emissions and fuel expenses", Mr Myren explains. "Reisa is currently designed with extensive capacity for closed transport and infection protection with a dual delousing system that includes freshwater treatment and a flushing system." Tore Bø, Project Manager at the Leirvik yard, has been involved in all the ships in the Havtrans series. He says that fitting out Reisa was the easiest project of them all, despite challenges relating to the coronavirus and the fact that they have taken greater control and ownership of more of the equipment on board. Mr Bø describes the work performed by the project organisation and the production in Leirvik as a masterpiece. He states, "The project organisation and the production in Leirvik have pulled off a masterpiece. This goes to show that the workers at the yard in Leirvik are highly capable shipbuilders. The boat was nonetheless a few months delayed due to late delivery from the hull yard in Turkey and coronavirus challenges at the yard in Norway.
