Norwegian aquaculture support operator Napier has received NOK123 million in investment support from Enova for the development of a pioneering series of stun and bleed vessels powered by hydrogen. These vessels, planned to be 50 meters long with a cargo capacity of around 300 tonnes, will utilize compressed hydrogen and battery technology for propulsion. The design work for these innovative vessels will be undertaken by Salt Ship Design, a local naval architecture firm. The vessels aim to enhance efficiency in fish processing by enabling fish to be killed and transported in a more sustainable manner compared to traditional methods. By using a processing vessel where fish are killed shortly after loading, the vessels can transport fish more efficiently, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 50% compared to live transport vessels. This development not only promises significant environmental benefits but also highlights the commitment of Napier and its partners to green technology and innovation in aquaculture. The vessels are slated for deliveries starting in 2027, marking a pivotal moment in the adoption of sustainable practices within Norway's aquaculture industry.
