December 2, 2024 - Tersan Shipyard has announced the launch of its latest cutting-edge fishing vessel, the 'Leinebris,' marking a milestone in maritime sustainability and technological advancement. Developed in collaboration with Norwegian fishing company Leinebris AS and designed by the Skipsteknisk AS, the vessel is a testament to innovation, environmental responsibility and Norway's leadership in the seafood industry.
Building on the legacy of its predecessor, which was also constructed by Tersan Shipyard and delivered in 2015, the new Leinebris incorporates state-of-the-art technology and a sustainability-focused design. The 67.3 meter-long and 15-meter-wide vessel is set to redefine fishing practices by integrating three distinct methods - long lining, seining and net fishing - into one platform. This versatility not only optimises efficiency but also reduces the environmental impact by allowing the skipper to select the most eco-friendly method for any given operation.
The new Leinebris is powered by a diesel-electric propulsion system supported by PU115 azimuth and AR63 retractable azimuth combi thrusters, ensuring precise manoeuvrability. Its innovative steering system, which includes the BrunCon PTC and BrunCon JS with Position Hold and the Brunvoll Fishpilot system, further enhances navigational control and efficiency.
Incorporating a large onboard battery pack and three diesel-electric generator sets, the vessel maximises energy efficiency. Additionally, its fully electric deck equipment and winches exemplify its commitment to minimising energy consumption while maximising onboard power utilisation. RSW tanks are also installed to maintain the freshness of live fish during transport, ensuring top-quality seafood production.
Safety and comfort for the crew have been prioritised in the design. The vessel features double cargo decks, covered working decks and a moonpool to enhance safety during operations in challenging conditions. With accommodations for up to 25 personnel, the Leinebris offers a high standard of living quarters, reflecting modern expectations for crew welfare.
Paul Herald Leinbø, representing Leinebris AS, expressed pride in the vessel's launch, emphasising its role in supporting sustainable fisheries while maintaining top-quality seafood production. "This is a proud moment for us. I want to thank Tersan and the rest of our team who believe in us. With this new build, we will harvest the finest Norwegian whitefish for years to come, whilst also meeting our sustainability targets and reducing our marine footprint," he stated.
The vessel's sustainability features align with global calls for greener practices in the maritime and fishing industries. By enabling efficient resource management and minimising environmental impact, the Leinebris is poised to inspire environmentally conscious food choices and reinforce Norway's status as a leader in sustainable seafood production.
Mehmet Gaziogğlu, CEO of Tersan Shipyard, highlighted the significance of this project and the longstanding partnership with Leinebris AS. "Eight years after the delivery of the first Leinebris, it is both a great honour and pleasure for us to be awarded as the builder of the new vessel. We believe she will be revolutionary vessel for the fishing sector, continuing the pioneering legacy of Leinebris AS," he remarked.
The vessel's design, crafted by Skipsteknisk, embodies the culmination of advanced maritime engineering and environmental stewardship. The collaboration between Tersan Shipyard, Leinebris AS and Skipsteknisk underscores the power of partnership in driving innovation within the industry.
The new Leinebris is slated for delivery in 2025, ready to set sail and redefine standards in the fishing industry. With its innovative design and commitment to sustainability, the vessel is expected to enhance resource management in fisheries and contribute to the global shift toward greener practices in seafood production.
This launch marks yet another chapter in Tersan Shipyard's commitment to advancing maritime innovation and sustainability, solidifying its position as a leader in constructing environmentally responsible vessels. As the Leinebris prepares for its maiden voyage, it stands as a beacon of progress and a model for the future of fishing.
