Eidsvaag Omega

Client: Eidsvaag
Location: Harlingen / Urk, Netherlands
Type: Conversion
Vessel: Live fish carrier

Introduction

Commercial farming of fish has seen an increase over the past years, resulting in the need for more dedicated vessels to supply these fish farms. Norwegian based Eidsvaag bought the cargo vessel Hartman Baltic, a 3,500 ton dwt roro ship, from the Dutch Hartman Marine Group to convert into a fishfeed carrier.

The conversion of the Eidsvaag Omega was managed and executed by the Hartman Marine group. DEKC Maritime was responsible for most of the design and engineering work required for this conversion. The modifications were performed at the Damen yard in Harlingen and at the Hartman Marine facilities in Urk.

Some of the modifications include: design and engineering of the new bulwark on the stern, refit of thruster rooms and engineering of a new generator room, as well as replacing the forward hatches with a fixed deck. More specific modifications are the placing of an unloader crane and elevator for the fishfeed handling and unloading system, two additional Veth thrusters and a DP system.
