As opposed to the traditional U forms incorporated for fishing ship designs in recent years, the Halios ship fea- tures a V form, giving it advantages in seakeeping and speed. It's bulbous stern optimizes wake distribution. For smooth vessel operations, the task of longline stowage, replacement of damaged branch lines and bait- ing operations have been automated. The Innaves system also is designed to automate bot- tom longlining with a monofilament main line, long monofilament branch lines and precision hook-baiting. The automatic system not only aids safety goals, but effectively eliminates six crew members. Based on its shape and demanding operational require- ments, the vessel demanded a rugged propulsion solution. Once in the fishery, the ship runs at high speeds while paying out longline. While hauling in, the vessel advances at between one and two knots, normally upwind, with often a need for greater power to retrieve broken tackle. The Innaves designed solution includes a power system that during longline inhauling operations (approx. 18 hours per day) employs diesel-electric propulsion obtained from one genset. The genset powers a 110 kW alternate current motor through a frequency converter by vectorial control of the armature, which drives a PTO from the reduction gear. Starting in March, Innaves began conducting extensive demonstrations of the system, with the financial backing of the FEDER funds and the European R&D Framework Plan (FAIR Program). A professional ship will be com- missioned and the needed equipment installed to compare the improved effectiveness of the new systems and the tra- ditional methods.
