Is it possible for a redundant fishing vessel to be used as a power plant? Absolutely! The first vessel of its kind is now anchored offshore in the Stadthavet area west of Ålesund, Norway, with the aim of generating electricity from the natural forces of the sea.
The idea is as brilliant as it is simple.“In principle, it works almost like a bicycle pump” says engineer and Project Manager Edgar Kvernevik at Kvernevik Engineering AS. For the last two years his company has been working with Geir Arne Solheim, the founder of Havkraft AS in Norway, and the man who came up with the idea, to develop and build the wave power plant now installed in a former trawler/autoline vessel.
