The tests of the large freezer trawler-processor "Captain Sokolov" of project 170701 have been completed in the Baltic Sea. About a hundred representatives of the "Severnaya Verf", where the vessel is being built, as well as the design bureau "Nautic Rus", the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and the customer of the vessel, GC "Norebo", monitored for about two weeks how the trawler works in different conditions. This is reported by IA "Mediapaluba".
"Captain Sokolov" is the first of ten vessels that Norebo plans to build for the extraction of herring, cod, ocean perch and other types of fish in the Far East and the North Atlantic. On board, the caught fish will be processed and fillets, liver, fat and flour will be produced from it, packed for further storage.
The fish processing factory of "Captain Sokolov" can produce at least 21 tons of cod and haddock fish fillets and at least 7 tons of fish meal per day. The total productivity of the factory reaches more than 60 tons per day. This is possible thanks to the trawler's freezing equipment. A tunnel keel is used in the design of the trawler, leaving the freezing hold without necks.
Among the distinctive features of "Captain Sokolov" is also an anti-roll device located under the wheelhouse, which significantly reduces the ship's rolling. And its special nose shape prevents water from flooding the deck, reduces the impact of the oncoming wave on the bow and reduces icing of the hull.
