Norwegian Electric Systems (NES) Named NavCom Supplier for Innovative Wellboat Project

NES has been selected by Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted (FMV) to provide its state-of-the-art Raven INS (Integrated Navigation System) and Raven JPOS (Dynamic Positioning System) for a live fish carrier currently in construction at a Norwegian shipyard.

Overview of Raven INS

The Raven INS integrates essential functionalities—such as radar, electronic chart display and information systems, autopilot/trackpilot capabilities, alarms, and sensor data—into a unified interface on the bridge. This design offers navigators streamlined control and enhanced situational awareness, regardless of the bridge’s configuration.

Turnkey Solution for Advanced Navigation

“This project features a complete turnkey bridge solution, including a fully integrated navigation system, communication equipment, sensors, and operator consoles with a monitor matrix,” explained Siv Remøy-Vangen, Managing Director of NES. “This award underlines the competitive edge and sophisticated capabilities of the Raven INS, which is being delivered as part of an all-encompassing bridge solution.”

Project Timeline

NES is set to begin engineering work immediately, with significant equipment deliveries scheduled for the first half of 2027. FMV, a reputable Norwegian shipbuilder specializing in aquaculture segments, is performing major engineering tasks in-house for the FMV63 project. This live fish carrier is being constructed for North Salmon Service, a Norwegian wellboat operator.

Previous Collaborations

In October of last year, NES secured a contract to act as system integrator and deliver powerful automation systems for the same vessel.

Future-Ready Navigation Solutions

“We are thrilled to be selected for this innovative live fish carrier project once again,” said Andreas Rønning Stein, Sales Manager at NES. “The Raven INS, featuring a user-friendly design and flexibility, is quickly gaining trust among shipowners for its precise and reliable navigation. It’s also future-ready, equipped to support autonomous functions.”

Parent Company Information

NES operates as a subsidiary of HAV Group ASA, a company listed on Euronext Growth Oslo, reinforcing the robustness and credibility of the solutions offered.
