HI-baptism Monday – the Norwegian board of technology

the Reconstruction of the previous “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” to “FF Kristine Bonnevie” have been twice as expensive and took twice as long as anticipated, but in return makes the boat twice as good, ” says rederisjef Per Nieuwejaar by the institute of marine research (HI).

the Vessel has been 20 years in the tropical waters of Africa and should now be inserted in the kysttokt, but it can also be the talk of the shorter cruises in the north, says HI in a press release.

Major significance

-the exploration of the sea is a good investment and it is crucial that we have vessels that are good enough technically and there to attend to the task that is to be filled, ” says Kjell Ingebrigtsen.

He gives the thumbs up over the news that the ship has put in place a new EK 80, which is the next generation of sonar and go on broadband. The same type of fish finder should, according to the HI also be installed on the other forskningsflåten.

-It is important that we as fishermen and the nation can feel the most confident on the situation in the sea. That it is now being put on more capacity in our waters is an important investment to get such a good and comprehensive basis for decision-making as possible in the ressursforvaltningen, in order to get the most sustainable resource extraction.

Rigs for the future

So this is in every way a joyous day for all of us who are concerned to look to the future for the Norwegian seafood industry. I want to congratulate HI with the new resource and wish the best of luck in the important work that we in the community should do to develop our own future in the industry, ” concludes Kjell Ingebrigtsen.
