Kongsberg Maritime Wins Stabiliser Contract For Two New Ferries

Kongsberg Maritime’s Dunfermline facility has announced a contract to supply Aquarius 50 Retractable Fin Stabilisers for two new ferries built by the Cemre Shipyard in Turkey for Scotland’s Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL).

The KONGSBERG Aquarius retractable fin stabilisers, due for delivery in 2023, are designed for high-performance roll damping whilst offering low weight, high reliability, and low maintenance. The PLC-based control system provides robust, reliable technology with simple operating interfaces and extremely comprehensive care and diagnostic information through touch screens. The controls will also provide the innovative Eco feature for optimisation operation of the stabilisers.

KONGSBERG has enjoyed a long-term relationship with CALMAC, providing stabilisers for their vessels over many decades, together with through-life service support, including upgrade programmes to existing ships.

Operating on the busiest service route on the Clyde and Hebrides network, the new 95-meter-long vessels will have the capacity of 275-lanemeter for HGVs on the main deck and a total of 107 cars on both primary and hoistable decks.

Recep Portakal, Project Manager of Cemre Shipyard, commented, “It is a big proud moment to build such tailored projects for the communities in Islay and Jura. We look forward to making the most out of the cooperation between Kongsberg Maritime and CMAL.”

Jim Anderson, Director of Vessels of CMAL, commented, “We look forward to working again with the team at KONGSBERG to deliver stabilisers for our two new vessels for the communities in Islay and Jura. KONGSBERG has supplied stabilisers for many of the vessels in our fleet and is a trusted partner.”
