The NVC-Design for longliners or combined longliner/gilnet
vessels is developed to provide optimal fuel consumption,
fish handling and working conditions. Longliners spend
a lot of time at sea. This is why each hull undergoes
extensive testing in model tanks to ensure maximum speed
and seakeeping, tailored to customer specifications.

NVC 303 is a combined longliner/gillnet
vessel. The vessel's design features underwater line-setting,
which prevents injuries to seagulls from hooks.
Features and benefits
- Model tank testing for optimal hull / propulsion
integration
- Low noise and vibration gives better rest for crew
- Line-hauling through moonpool gives safer working
conditions
- Underwater line-setting prevents injuries to seagulls
- Low lifecycle costs
The intense focus on safety and low noise and vibration
levels has rightly earned the NVC-Design acclaim for
optimal and safe working conditions on board. Rolls-Royce
also designs longliners with a moonpool for linehauling,
with the intention of ensuring a safe workplace during
rough seas and also recovering more fish compared to
traditional longlining.
