New Zealand seafood company Sanford recently took delivery of a new scampi trawler for operation in the Southern Ocean.
Named San Koura Rangi, the trawler has a length of 32.4 metres, a diesel-electric propulsion system to reduce emissions, and a power management system to optimise engine performance.
The interior has been carefully designed to be welcoming and comfortable for the crew. The large bridge windows meanwhile provide the skipper with outstanding all-around visibility and abundant natural light, enhancing both safety and comfort.
The trawler is fitted with a compact full electric winch system that can regenerate power when paying out the trawl winches.
The processing area has been functionally optimised to streamline onboard procedures while maintaining strict hygiene standards with an advanced freezer system for optimal catch preservation.
The onboard processing layout has been developed to meet New Zealand’s strict hygiene requirements, ensuring optimal food safety and responsible working conditions for the crew.
