Norwegian ship owner Solvtrans, one of the world's largest transporters of live fish, has signed an order for a live fish carrier with Rolls-Royce.

The vessel of type NVC 387 is to be built by the shipbuilding company Kleven at their Myklebust yard in Norway, and the contract with the yard includes an option for a second ship.

The previous two vessels of similar design to Solvtrans were built in Spain. It has a load capacity of 3,200 cubic meters and its three tanks can take in up to approximately 500 metric tons of live fish in total.
