The Asturian company Gond\u00e1n has officially delivered the vessel Pole Star to the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB), the body responsible for the maintenance of lighthouses, buoys and aids to navigation in Scotland and the Isle of Man. This unit sets a new technical benchmark in the field of maritime signaling. sustainable maritime<\/a><\/strong> sustainable. <\/p>\n\n

Hybrid vessel design and specifications<\/h2>\n\n

The Pole Star, conceived by OSK Design in collaboration with Seaplace, has a length of 70 meters and a beam of 16 meters. conditions of the North Atlantic<\/a><\/strong>. She has accommodation for 26 persons and additional space for auxiliary functions. Classified by Lloyd’s Register, the vessel meets stringent requirements for hybrid systems, cyber security and specialized operation. <\/p>\n\n

The new vessel is equipped with three 1860 kW MAN engines and a 4644 kWh battery system. CORVUS<\/a><\/strong>battery system, managed by a DC Grid<\/a><\/strong> network from ABB. The combination enables significant reductions in fuel consumption and emissions. The DP-2 dynamic positioning system provides precision in critical operations, and the Schottel SRP 460 LE FP Schottel thrusters ensure maneuverability in complex areas. <\/p>\n\n

Specialized equipment for coastal maintenance tasks<\/h2>\n\n

The Pole Star<\/a><\/strong> is equipped with three high-performance cranes<\/strong> manufactured by Sormec, the most important of which is an offshore crane<\/a><\/strong> 20-ton offshore crane with a 14-meter outreach. This equipment is essential for buoy lifting and anchoring maneuvers, dinghy and supply operations, strengthening the NLB’s logistic capacity. <\/p>\n\n

Thanks to its hybrid propulsion<\/a><\/strong> and the efficiency of its systems, the vessel helps reduce the carbon footprint of coastal operations. In addition, its operational autonomy and hydrographic survey capabilities position the Pole Star as a comprehensive platform for modernizing maritime maintenance tasks in sensitive environments. <\/p>\n\n

The delivery of the Pole Star reinforces Gond\u00e1n’s position as a European benchmark in the construction of technically complex vessels with high environmental standards.<\/p>\n\n
