Karstensens Shipyard delivers new purser/trawler ASTRID to Skagen

New build 455 “ASTRID” was handed over to owners Johansson family of Astrid Fiskeri A/S, Skagen on 11 August 2022 from Karstensen Shipyard.

The hull for “ASTRID” was built by Karstensen Shipyard Poland in Gdynia, and arrived in Skagen in November 2021.

New “ASTRID” replaces Johanssons previous command of the same name. In addition to this new vessel, the owners also operates the pelagic trawler “ASTRID-MARIE”, under Swedish flag.

The vessel design, specification and arrangements is a result of an extensive and close cooperation between owners and yard where all solutions are optimized and tailor made to suit owners and crews specific requirements.

Main focus has been set on optimizing working, safety and comfort for the crew, optimizing catch handling- and storage facilities and optimizing of fuel consumption. In order to reach above targets, the vessel is fitted out with all the newest developed machinery and equipment.

 DESCRIPTION:

The hull is built in steel with three continuous decks; and with long forecastle- and boat decks. Wheelhouse, boat decks, funnel and masts are built in aluminium.

Hull shape of round bilge construction with bulbous bow and stern skeg, vertical wave-piercer stem and transom stern.

Below main deck the hull is subdivided into the following watertight compartments: Forepeak, bow thruster-/sonar room, insulated RSW-tank section with 13 tanks and central RSW pump- and manifold room, engine room with main engine connected to reduction gearbox with one, ducted propeller and aftpeak with fuel- and lub oil tanks.

In order to create best possible design for low noise, the accommodation is located as far away from the propeller as possible. In addition a number of constructive steps were made, in order to create a low noise level. During trails noise measurements showed levels well below any requirements and recommendations.

ENGINE ROOM & MACHINERY

Design principles for main engine / auxiliary arrangement are as follows:

Vessel is fitted with a 7320 kW main engine, connected to one reduction gearbox, driving one propeller. Shaft alternator of 3300 kW is fitted to gearbox PTO.

To supply additional electric power, the vessel is fitted with 2 auxiliary engines / gen-sets, producing 940 kWe each as well as a harbour gen-set of 500 kW.

During heaving/shooting operations at fishing, when the winch system is in use, the shaft alternators will be engaged, and electric power will be supplied from here. When there is demand for full power on the winch(es), there will normally not be same demand for power on the propulsion system. Following the main engine will be power source for both propulsion and hydraulic system.

All electrical power systems are controlled by the vessels DEIF Power-Management-System. Further on bus-bar breaker is fitted in main switchboard, allowing aft thrusters to be fed off shaft alternator and forward thruster and vessels hotel load off the diesel generator set.

Electrical power system is fitted for sliding frequency (60-50 Hz), by means of frequency converters for 400/440 V and UPS clean power static supply/converter for 230 V. This will allow main engine and propeller rpm to be reduced with 17%.
