SVENØR: “Turma Nova”, now called “Svenør”, is a state-of-the-art and advanced vessel.  
(GA drawing: Damen Maaskant Shipyard)

> [@](#):

> In 2020, the Dutch shipping company Ekofish Group BV was handed over the combined trawler and purse seiner “Turma Nova” by the Dutch Damen Maaskant Shipyard. Already upon delivery, the shipping company decided that the vessel did not meet expectations and returned it to the shipyard. Since then, the vessel has been for sale, among other things with Atlantic Shipping A/S in Copenhagen. Although this is probably the most expensive vessel Fruholmen Seafood AS in Tromsø has ever invested in, they have probably got the vessel at a very good price.
> 
> According to Atlantic Shipping, the vessel is rigged for double trawling and seine. It has a maximum length of 32 meters and a width of nine metres. The main engine is a Caterpillar with an output of 1,300 horsepower, as well as three Caterpillar C18 each with an output of 465 ekW/581 kVa 50Hz generators (956 kW). Since it is diesel-electric propulsion, this gives great flexibility in how much energy is produced. The propeller, which has a diameter of 3,430 millimeters, is supplied by Dutch AMW. Bow thruster with an output of 110 kW is supplied by Astram.  
> “Turma Nova” is equipped with a factory supplied by Dutch AFAK Techniek BV, and has a flake ice machine and a 230 cubic meter cold room.  
> “Turma Nova” has four double and one single cabin.

> The Austral Odyssey’s advanced energy-saving hybrid propulsion system features an integrated load shaving battery package and 2-step gear box, which Austral Fisheries says will curb emissions and further improve fuel efficiency. The design also includes increased tank capacity to accommodate the potential for future less energy-dense renewable fuels, such as methanol. In addition to innovations in design and efficiency, the Austral Odyssey will be equipped for value-added production of the company’s premium MSC-certified Glacier 51 Toothfish brand at sea.

What does a purse sein with 700 m.t. of mackerel look like? Here is how:

Luckily a larger vessel were willing to shear the bounty.

The boat is “Oma”, (V-16-AV) built 2021 of the type “36’ Malo sjark”, rigged for both seine and gilnets:
