Mikkel Louise, Vestværftet
During the planning of the 2020 delivered trawler RI 344 “Mikkel Louise” the Vestværftet in Hvide
Sande was looking for a propulsion control system that offered certain control features such as, main
engine overload protection, controlled in-clutching of PTOs, more than one combinator mode, and fuel
measurement.
The focus was soon turned to Lyngaa Marine,
which was the only relevant player in the marketplace that could deliver a system that fulfilled all
the requirements and at the same time was
affordable. The system was installed 2019 and it
was the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration with Vestværftet.
The owner, Mr. Torben Johansen, is intending to
install a LMB2100 in his latest new building, a
shrimper that is scheduled for delivery from the
Vestværftet in 2022.
Consequently, Lyngaa Marine was invited to inspect the problem and, subsequently, was invited to create a proposal for a new propulsion control system.
