Our NB no. 68, Orca Yka was named in the traditional way with a bottle of champagne crushed into the shipside, by Godmother Julie Christina Aasen. The bottle did break on the first try, to great excitement for all the presents.
Julie Christina Aasen is the eldest daughter of one of the shipowners, Kjell Audun Aasen who has also been a technical inspector during the whole build period at Larsnes Mek.
Naviera Orca Chile S.A. was represented by all five owners together with guests from home and abroad.
We will thank the shipowners for the trust and assignment with the construction of this beautiful vessel.
"May you and your crew sail safely on all seas"
The vessel gets the yards Nb no. 71, and it will be number 11 in this series of vessels designed by Skipskompetanse AS, hence 10 of them to Rostein AS, and will have a cargo capacity of 2800m³, and shall be arranged for open and closed transport of fish and smolts.
With this new assignment, Rostein is approaching new constructions for around 3.5 billion in Larsnes Mek, and this supports how important the aquaculture industry has become for the maritime sector. The vessel will be equipped with the latest technology and have zero emissions during closed transport with monitoring, purification of water circulations, UV treatment of water in and out of the hold. With automatic washing and disinfection system, regulation, and logging of water parameters the vessel will be sustainable and environmentally friendly. The vessel will have TIER III machinery and other technology to save fuel and reduce emissions.
