Ulstein Hatloe A/S, Ulsteinvik, Norway, has delivered one of the world's largest surimi factory trawl- ers to her U.S. owners, after un- dergoing an extensive conversion at the yard. The 341-foot 5-inch Northern Ea- gle was delivered to her New York- based owners Northern Eagle Part- ners Ltd. earlier this year after she was converted from a containership to a surimi factory trawler. The Northern Eagle, which is being used off the coast of Alaska to fish for pollack to produce into surimi, a versatile fish paste, has a molded breadth of 52 feet, design draft of 20 feet and speed of 14 knots. She is powered by two Bergen Diesel en- gines rated at 2,425 kw at 680 rpm each. She is fitted with a bevy of Ulstein equipment, including: a con- trollable-pitch propeller, Ulstein/ Lohman reduction gear, propeller nozzle, high-lift flap rudder and an 800-hp bowthruster. Electrical power is supplied by Caterpillar equipment, with two Caterpillar generator engines rated at 640 kw at 1,800 rpm each and two Caterpillar SR 4 generators rated at 750 kw at 1,800 rpm each. Emergen- cy power is provided by a Caterpil- lar 330 4T generator set with a Cat- erpillar SR 4 generator rated at 125 kva at 1,800 rpm. The Northern Eagle features a full suite of sophisticated electronic communications and navigation equipment. Some of her navigation equipment includes one Furuno FR- 1662-S navigation radar, two Furu- no FCR-1411/6 color radars, two Furuno color plotters, and three Fu- runo C LC 90 Lorans. She is equip- ped with a JRC JUE-45A satcom, two Skanti SSB radiotelephones, three Standard VHFs, one Cobra SSB CB radio, a Furuno FD-525 VHF/ADF and a Furuno FD-181 IMO Standard MF/HF ADF. The factory trawler is fitted with state-of-the-art fishing and produc- tion equipment. Her cargo hold ca- pacity is approximately 2,300 m3. Since the processing of surimi re- quires large amounts of freshwater, and the Northern Eagle can produce as much as 400 tons per day. She normally has a crew of 60-70, but has accommodations for as many as 88. Her conversion was designed by Guido Perla & Associates of Seattle, Wash.
