MAN Energy Solutions has won the contract to supply the propulsion system for seven 109-meter Russian factory trawlers.
Tersan shipyard will build the first vessel in Yalova, Turkey, for Russian Fishery Company (RFC), with a scheduled delivery date of July 2020. The following six identical vessels will be constructed in Russia.
“Our track record within the fishing segment is very good but we are especially pleased to have won this noteworthy order as the trawlers will be the largest such vessels constructed in the past 25 years," said Lex Nijsen, vice president at MAN Energy Solutions.
