Navigare Shipping's newest shortsea cargo vessel has arrived in home waters in the Faroe Islands following her delivery voyage from the Netherlands.
Hav Fles is the second in a series of four vessels ordered by Navigare from Royal T Shipyards. Sister vessel Hav Leiti is already in service, while construction of the remaining two ships continues.
The series was designed in-house by the shipyard and is built to Bureau Veritas class requirements and IMO Tier III standards.
Four generators supply the vessel's propulsion in a diesel-electric configuration, allowing power generation to be matched to operational demand. The builder said she can remain underway using one generator during certain emergency situations.
Self-discharging capability is provided by an electrically powered excavator. When the vessel receives power from an appropriate shore supply, the cargo handling equipment can function without relying on the diesel generators.
A covered foredeck provides weather protection, while the crew can use the bridge wing control stations to operate the systems they need during berthing and departure.
