The Harstad is a coast guard ship of the Norwegian Coast Guard built to civilian standards . It is named after the town of Harstad in northern Norway . The ship's home port is the western Norwegian town of Fosnavåg . The Harstad has IMO number 9312107 and has the call sign JWBR.
history
The Harstad (W318) was built in 2005 at Søviknes Verft in Syvikgrend for the state program slepebåtberedskapen by the civil shipping company Remøy shipping .
The ship was initially rented for the coast guard and taken over by the Norwegian naval forces in 2009 . Since then, the ship has participated in operations and naval exercises. The Harstad was the ship from which the first sea tests of the NATO Submarine Rescue System were carried out.
Areas of application
The duties of the ship include the tasks of the coast guard such as search and rescue as well as the performance of sovereign tasks such as the control of fisheries. Harstad also has two special tasks:
- The ship has special equipment for tanker accidents. These include extinguishing equipment, equipment for collecting spilled oil and powerful winches to tow damaged ships.
- The Harstad was equipped to use the NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS) , a rescue system for damaged submarines in the three NATO countries of France , the United Kingdom and Norway .
drive
The Harstad is powered by two Rolls-Royce marine diesel engines, each with an output of 4 MW. These act on two conventional shafts, which each move a screw. In addition, a propeller nacelle with an output of 800 kW is installed, which is driven by an electric motor. This is fed with electricity from two powerful generators, which are driven by the main shafts. This combination of different types of drive enables both a relatively high speed and relatively low procurement costs and high maneuverability. A diesel generator and an emergency generator are available to power electrical devices.
