Following the official naming ceremony at the shipyard Larsnes Mek. Verksted AS on March 26th, the MV Orca Yka will soon be on her way to South America to meet her new owner Naviera Orca Chile SA, where she’ll be operating out of the port of Puerto Montt.

After passing her technical inspection, the wellboat Gåsø Høvding has gone into service. Build by Sefine Shipyard in Turkey according to a Møre Maritime design, the vessel is operating in Norwegian waters where she’s transporting and processing fish.

YANMAR Europe B.V. has delivered its 160th engine for the fishing industry in Scandinavian waters. More than 45 engines, including this one, have already found their way into Norway through shipyard Larsnes Mek. Verksted AS. A strong proof of the decades-long relationship and trust that exists between YANMAR, Larsnes Mek. Verksted and Norwegian shipbuilders, architects and shipowners. 

“15% more catch” said Mr. Emmanuel Cloirec after repowering his vessel Pasihae II with a 6 cylinder 6AYM-WST Yanmar high-speed engine producing 485kW @ 1900rpm.

The Norwegian fishing industry has a new jewel in the crown: the recently launched Stormhav, an almost 28-meter-long combined line and net ship. This netter/longliner replaces a 25-year-old vessel and represents a safer workplace for the crew and better conditions for onboard fish processing

When the Norwegian fishing company Remøybuen ordered a new deep-sea fishing vessel, they said she was going to set a new standard as one of the smallest boats with electric winches on board. Now the ‘eye-catcher’ is ready to hit the Norwegian fishing fields with an eco-friendly, all-electric wind system and a YANMAR engine that is both environmentally friendly and affordable to operate

For the third time, the Norwegian operator HP Holmeset A.S. ordered a new longliner – called Geir – from the Norwegian naval architect Skipsteknisk.

"Our ships have had YANMAR engines for over 20 years; also on board of MS Gunnar K. Why?

"They're nice engines. I'm very happy with them, everything's functioned great so far. That's crucial, as we operate day in, day out and our client wants to be sure of delivery. That means we need durable, reliable engines."

Elding Whale Watching has decades of experience and offers the most talked about whale watching and sea adventure tours in Iceland.

"They are amazed", he says. "I was once advised to overhaul the engine, but as long as it doesn't use too much oil, I just keep using the engines as always." Since 2004, Alderweireld (40) has been sailing the waterways.

„We recognised that only YANMAR could offer us a suitable engine with the following features"

"We are very happy with the performance of these engines, and I am very excited to install the second pair in our new boat"

The strong expansion of the number of wind turbines out at sea near the northern Dutch coast was reason enough for Ubels Offshore to expand its fleet with a fifth ship last year.

"It cleans very well in troublesome situations and also has a lower fuel consumption than many of the alternative cleaners,”
