Nauplius Workboats in Groningen, the Netherlands, launched the Thermolicer Camilla Eslea on Monday. It is currently the largest such vessel in the world and the launch was streamed live through the shipyard’s website. The 35 x 14-metre aquaculture delicing vessel will be operated by Inverlussa Marine Services and deployed for MOWI Scotland.
To maximise performance, the vessel will be equipped with twin triple Stranda Prolog systems for vacuum tank delivery and a bespoke dual-line Thermolicer system designed by Scale AQ. Filtration will be provided by Smir using double hydro filters in combination with secondary belt filtration.
