Nærøysund Aquaservice AS continues to build up its fleet of working vessels with its latest addition, Nærøysund. The ROV vessel was delivered by Kåre Holthe & Sønner in October 2017.

The vessel is a Stinger model that has been specially adapted for customers in the aquaculture industry. The vessel is equipped for assignments such as ROV operations and seabed mapping. It has a submersible sonar for precisely positioning the ROV on the seabed.

The vessel is also equipped with a Kongsberg multibeam echo sounder, which provides a very detailed image of the seabed. Nærøysund is one of the first vessels in Norway to carry this type of echo sounder and it was delivered by Navy Rørvik.
