“Geir II” is designed by Skipsteknisk for operation in severe
weather conditions, with high manoeuvrability and
station-keeping capabilities.
Brunvoll thruster expertise contributed to the advanced
longliner “Geir II”. In the bow, the vessel is equipped with
a Brunvoll Retractable Azimuth Thruster for superb
manoevrability and back-up propulsion, enabling safer shing
operations and take-home capability. The unit can also be
used as a tunnel thruster in retracted position.
The thruster system improves comfort for the crew, because
one can stop the main propulsion to reduce noise while using
the Retractable Azimuth.
The vessel has a patented moon pool system for line hauling,
which has been proved to raise catch quality.
