正筹备900元登2019新加坡海事会造船地图全英文版、第五届2019豪华邮轮/客轮修造和配套上海论坛和2019第二届船用洗涤器和压载水上海论坛的国际船舶海工网了解到，近日，中集来福士海洋工程有限公司（简称“中集来福士”）与挪威阿克集团旗下阿克海洋生物有限公司（Aker BioMarine，简称“阿克海洋生物”）签订了南极磷虾运输船建造合同，这是两家企业在双方集团间战略合作框架下达成的重要合作。该项目是中集来福士在深远海渔业领域的又一突破，也为阿克海洋生物拓展中国磷虾油市场奠定了基础。
南极磷虾是公认的全球最环保的生物资源之一，富含人体必需的欧米伽3（Omega3）不饱和脂肪酸，但只能通过食物摄取。随着人们对高质量生活的追求和对欧米伽3认知的提高，中国正在成为南极磷虾油的重要消费市场。
阿克海洋生物是全球知名的生物科技和南极磷虾捕捞公司，拥有“从南极水域可持续性捕捞磷虾，通过蒙得维的亚物流枢纽，经休斯顿生产基地，使磷虾产品到达世界各地客户”的全透明产业链。此次签约的南极磷虾运输船由瓦锡兰设计，长168米，宽27米，设计吃水7米，预计于2021年磷虾收获季节前交付，主要用于南极捕捞作业区与南美港口之间磷虾产品运输、捕捞船燃油供应及工作人员轮岗运输。该船专为满足磷虾捕捞作业的独特需求而设计，面对极具挑战性的南极环境，将采用创新的综合货物处理系统，同时对于船体坚固性、防寒性能、破冰能力等具有较高要求；配备带有可变螺旋桨的混合动力推进系统，以及先进的热回收系统，进一步减少碳排放。
阿克海洋生物公司CEO Matts Johansen表示，选择在中集来福士建造，是因为中集来福士有独特的能力来建造如此复杂的运输船。我们的合作目标是交付中国建造的配备挪威技术的先进化、定制化船舶，目前双方正朝着这一目标全力以赴。
中集来福士是全球知名的海洋工程EPC总包商，旗下中集蓝海洋科技有限公司专注于海洋渔业装备研发设计服务、海洋牧场运营、海产品贸易及深加工等，能够为客户定制养殖黑鱼、鲍鱼、三文鱼等各种海洋经济生物的装备，此次合同的签订，进一步丰富了中集蓝的产品线。“中集集团和阿克集团建立了集团间的战略合作，为我们业务板块间的协同提供了充分的保障，同时，业务上的合作也在不断加深彼此的友谊。相信我们能够在战略合作框架下，在油气勘探开发、海洋渔业等领域发掘出更广阔的合作空间。”中集来福士CEO兼总裁王建中说。

The vessel is expected to be delivered for the 2021 harvesting season, which is mainly used for the transportation of krill products between Antarctic fishing area and South American port, the fuel supply of fishing vessels and the rotation of staff.
Designed to meet the unique needs of krill fishing operations, the innovative integrated cargo handling system will be used to face the challenging Antarctic conditions. Driven by a highly efficient propulsion system with CPP, and the latest technology including internal combustion engines etc, equipped with an advanced heat recovery system to further reduce carbon emissions.
As an ice-operated vessel, the vessel also has high requirements for hull robustness, cold-proof performance, and ice-breaking capacity.
Commenting on the contract, Mr. Matts Johansen, CEO Aker BioMarine said, “The vessel will be constructed in CIMC Raffles where there is unique competence for building such large-scale support vessels. With CIMC Raffles on-board, our unique cooperation aimed at delivering a custom-made, state of the art Chinese-built vessel, equipped with Norwegian technologies, is now full steam ahead”.
