The technology group Wärtsilä will supply a propulsion and power package for a new 75 metres long fishing trawler.
The ship is being built at the Karstensen shipyard in Denmark for Scottish owners and operators Wiseman Fishing Co and Northbay Fishing Co.
Both the yard and Wiseman Fishing are longstanding customers of Wärtsilä. This latest order with Wärtsilä was placed in March.

The vessel will feature a Wärtsilä 31 main engine, two Wärtsilä 14 power generating sets, a gearbox and a controllable pitch propeller (CPP),
the combination of which represents the latest engine and power generation technology. In designing the trawler, the aim has been to achieve the best power density,
the most efficient performance, and the lowest possible emission levels in order to achieve minimal environmental impact.
