SDG 3 Good health

  • More careful handling of the fish leads to higher quality fish fillets.
  • The factory on board is equipped with hydrolysis for the recovery of health-promoting oils and nutrition such as calcium.

SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

  • Upgrade of technology and solutions for a more sustainable marine industry.
  • Concept for profitability in a global market perspective.

SDG 12 Responsible Consumption

  • Smaller trawl nets lead to more gentle handling of the catch. Pressure on the fish is avoided and prevents fish from being detained in the catching process, thus less waste.
  • Hydrolytic plants in the factory ensure the effective use of all bimaterials of the fish. Zero waste emissions.

SDG 13 Climate Action

  • Hybrid propulsion combining battery with diesel-electric and diesel-mechanical propulsion, reduces emissions to sea and air.
  • X-BOW® increases load capacity and space, and reduces fuel consumption and emissions.

SDG 14 Life Below Water

  • Ships carrying the X-BOW feature have less vibrations and pitching, which reduce noise in the sea.
  • The new series has smaller trawl nets than on traditional trawlers. This secures a more responsible and sustainable harvesting of our marine resources.

SDG 17 Partnership for the goals

  • The series has been developed in collaboration between Ulstein and Nordic wildfish with a goal of more sustainable trawling.
  • Sharing knowledge and experience to exploit new technology and innovate in fishery and marine industry.
