Video: Convert PSVs to Fishing Vessels

With the decline of the offshore oil and gas industry, many in the industry are seeking new opportunities for Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs). Jensen Maritime specializes in converting PSVs into revenue-driving commercial fishing boats, often a faster and more cost-effective option than buying new.

Ideal for mobile bunkering, this ATB is also oceans rated, meaning that it is not limited to the intracoastal waterways. This flexible design feature allows the vessel to facilitate the transfer and use of small-scale LNG in places with limited infrastructure, including offshore locations. The design was developed using Jensen’s production engineering capabilities, which makes the construction and assembly more efficient.

Developed from the successful “Valor” Class of escort tugs, this version has two LNG fueled Bergen engines providing the propulsive power. A single double walled gas tank is situated aft of the engine room and extends up into the deck house. Sufficient fuel is carried aboard to allow for a weekly bunkering operation.

Jensen announces the delivery of two 92 ft., 50-ton bollard-pull Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tugboats for Caribbean TugZ, an affiliate of SEACOR Holdings Inc., for operation in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The "Aura" and "Atlas" were built at Great Lakes Shipyard and were delivered in June 2013.

The exciting new Ocean-Class tugs for Crowley offer immense power and endurance in an environmentally friendly, 10,880 HP, Tier II package. They feature twin screw controllable pitch propellers (CPP), in nozzles and high lift rudders. Hulls are welded steel and each will be outfitted for long-range ocean towing, firefighting and general purpose vessel requirements.

Northern Leader, One of the Largest Fishing Vessels in the World

Jensen has designed the world’s largest longliner fishing vessel (by volume). The Northern Leader has been designed to be 184’ x 42 x 18.75’, and will support the longline fisheries of the North Pacific, Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. The vessel’s innovative design allows for full utilization of any targeted fish species using equipment shown to have minimal environmental impact on the ocean\047s ecosystem. Technology abounds on this vessel, including a fully diesel-electric propulsion package which also contributes to the smallest possible carbon footprint.
