Fishing Vessel Propulsion Solutions

Efficient fishing vessel propulsion for demanding fishing operations.

Fishing is a vital industry for global food supply, and every voyage depends on propulsion that can endure long days at sea with reliability, fuel efficiency and precise maneuverability. Modern fishing fleets rely on propulsion systems that balance performance with low operating cost, silent operation near fishing grounds and safe control in narrow harbors. 

Berg Propulsion develops fishing vessel propulsion systems engineered for efficiency and uptime. With controllable pitch propellers for fishing vessels, hybrid and electric configurations, maneuvering thrusters, and optimized propulsion control systems, we ensure consistent performance in varying weather and load conditions.

Key Challenges

Reliable propulsion during extended sea operations

Fuel-efficient fishing vessel propulsion for profitable catch cycles

Precise fishing vessel manoeuvring propulsion when docking or hauling gear

Sustainable operation through hybrid and electric propulsion alternatives

Low-noise propulsion for fishing vessels to improve onboard communication

Solutions

Propulsion Solutions tailored for fishing vessels.

Berg Propulsion solutions improve fuel efficiency, enhance maneuverability, and support extended operations through advanced propulsion technologies tailored for fishing vessels.

Hybrid

The Parallel Hybrid system offers an innovative approach to propulsion by integrating diesel and electric power. This flexibility allows fishing vessels to operate efficiently in different modes, enhancing both fuel savings and operational versatility.

Fuel Saving

Berg Propulsion’s DynamicDrive optimally adjusts propeller pitch and engine speed based on real-time conditions, ensuring the best possible efficiency and performance for fishing vessels operating in diverse marine environments.

Fuel Mechanic

Built on the proven reliability of combustion engines, this solution remains vital for offshore vessels requiring long endurance and high power output. Often used in combination with twin-in single-out gearboxes, it provides robust mechanical drive beneficial for heavy towing and higher DP modes.

Products

Forward in every environment.

Berg Propulsion offers a range of products designed to enhance the efficiency and operation of fishing vessels, making them well-suited for the demanding conditions of the fishing industry.

Controllable Pitch Propeller

The Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) offers a significant advantage in adapting to varying load conditions, crucial for fishing operations that require rapid changes in speed and direction. By allowing precise control over propeller thrust, CPPs contribute to fuel savings and improved maneuverability.

Fixed Pitch Propeller

The Fixed pitch propeller (FPP) is engineered for long endurance and heavy-duty performance, offering fuel efficiency across diverse marine conditions, which is crucial for extended fishing trips.

Tunnel Thruster

The Marine Transverse Thruster (MTT) provides reliable lateral thrust, essential for precise station keeping and maneuvering during fishing operations.

Control System

Marine Propulsion Control (MPC) is an integrated propulsion and automation control system, enabling seamless control and customization, adaptable for hybrid-ready setups that enhance fuel efficiency and operational control.
