Harto has recently been completed following an extensive lengthening and modernisation project, delivering increased cargo capacity, improved operational efficiency, and upgraded onboard facilities. A key element of the project was the vessel's 4.0-metre amidships lengthening, increasing her overall length from 32,32 metres to 36.32 metres. The conversion involved the integration of approximately 35.5 tonnes of steel, while an additional 2.1 tonnes of aluminium was incorporated through the installation of a new funnel and a new port-side storm-walkway. The project represents a significant investment in the vessel's future, ensuring increased capacity, improved operational performance, and enhanced crew welfare for years to come. We would like to thank the shipowner Bergtun Fiskeriselskap AS for the trust placed in us throughout this project and wish both the company and crew many successful and safe years of operation ahead.

Our newbuilding No. 74, Ro Vanguard has today been delivered to the shipowner Rostein AS. With an overall length of 84.2 metres and a beam of 15.5 metres, the vessel will be an impressive sight in the fjords as she now enters operation.The vessel has a cargo capacity of 3,700 m³ and is a modified version of the LFC 2020 series. She is equipped with the latest technological solutions for the gentle transport, parasite removal and treatment of fish. Particular emphasis has been placed on fish welfare in all operations. The vessel features hybrid propulsion with a battery package supplied by Siemens Energy and is fitted with TIER III-compliant diesel-electric machinery from Yanmar, along with other technologies that contribute to reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. The vessel provides accommodation for 12 persons and offers modern, high-standard facilities for the crew. The hull was built and delivered by Marine Projects Ltd in Gdańsk. We congratulate the shipowner on this state-of-the-art vessel and thank them for the opportunity to carry out this project. At the same time, we wish both the vessel and her crew fair winds and following seas on all their voyages.

The newbuild will receive yard number 75 and will be a sister ship to yard number 71, Ro Spirit, which was delivered in October 2023. The vessel is number 13 in a series of ships designed by Skipskompetanse AS and will have a cargo capacity of 2,800 m³. It will be arranged for both open and closed transport of fish and smolt. The boat will be fully equipped with modern solutions for fish welfare, and it will have zero emissions during closed transport, featuring monitoring, water‑circulation purification, UV treatment of water entering and leaving the cargo tanks, an automatic washing and disinfection system, as well as monitoring, regulation, and logging of water parameters. The vessel will be equipped with TIER III machinery, PHT functionality, and Wavefoil technology to save fuel and reduce emissions. The gross tonnage will be 2,999. The hull is scheduled for delivery in September 2026, and the completed vessel will be handed over to the shipowner in April 2027. With this project, Rostein is approaching approximately 5.5 billion NOK in newbuilds at Larsnes Mek, underscoring how important the aquaculture industry has become for the maritime sector.
