Bergen Engines has been chosen to power the world’s largest stun & bleed vessel, underscoring Bergen’s proven reliability in delivering high-performance propulsion solutions to the fishing and aquaculture industries. The vessel, owned by Napier and operated in cooperation with aquaculture leader, MOWI, will be named “Tauriko” and be equipped with the B33:45L9P engine, chosen for its fuel efficiency, extended maintenance intervals, and robust performance.
With growing focus on animal welfare, stun & bleed vessels are designed to handle fish in the most humane and sustainable manner. Once pumped onboard from a fish farm, the fish are immediately stunned, reducing stress and preserving product quality. This method also supports environmental goals by improving fish welfare and reducing death, resulting in lower emissions per kilo transported.
Medium-speed engines play an increasingly vital role in powering the modern aquaculture fleet. As the industry evolves, operations are moving beyond traditional coastal farming toward large-scale offshore installations and advanced on-land facilities. This shift creates a growing demand for dependable, efficient, and sustainable power solutions capable of supporting a wide range of vessel types involved in feeding, servicing, transporting, and processing fish.
Aquaculture vessels today must perform reliably under continuous operation while maintaining high standards of environmental responsibility and fish welfare. Bergen’s medium-speed engines are ideally suited to these requirements, offering an optimal balance between power, efficiency, and durability. Their ability to deliver steady propulsion and electrical power ensures smooth performance for both operational and processing systems, even under challenging conditions. The engines’ low fuel consumption and future-proof solution for any fuel type contribute to more sustainable operations, while minimal vibration and noise help maintain ideal conditions for both crew and live fish.
The introduction of advanced vessel types, such as stun & bleed vessels, reflects the industry’s ongoing focus on humane and sustainable practices. By stunning and processing fish immediately after transfer from the farm, these vessels reduce stress, improve product quality, and enhance overall efficiency. Medium-speed engines support these processes by providing consistent power for propulsion, pumping, and onboard systems, ensuring reliable performance throughout extended operations.
