AISTER has completed the marine interior and outfitting work in the vessel C. 288, called ARGOS CIES, the new freezer trawler built in Nodosa Shipyard, located in Marín, Pontevedra.

The vessel of 74 meters in length, 14 meters in beam and power of 1×3000 kW has an interior design adapted to the typology of the vessel and the place where it will develop its activity, squid fishing in the Malvinas Islands with MONTEFERRO trawler, made in the same shipyard and also built by our marine interior and outfitting department the last year.

The ARGOS CIES belongs to Grupo Pereira Shipping Company and highlights for two key features that differentiate it from other trawlers: On the one hand, the latest technology in positioning equipment and fishing electronics and, in the other hand, the interior design of the vessel, adapted so that the crew, formed by 48 people, can enjoy the same comforts as on land safely and comfortably during the campaign.

Turn-Key marine interior and outfitting

The Shipowner has hired the construction to Nodosa, which has outsourced us the marine interior and outfitting of all spaces of the vessel: cabins, mess rooms, galleys, cold stores, laundries, toilets, hallways…

Moreover to these spaces, in AISTER we have also provided the design and construction of the trawler’s wheelhouse and workspaces, including the insulation works in all of them.

The scope of the marine interior and outfitting works reaches about 665 square meters including the following aspects:

Interior design and construction drawings

We have made the interior design project with different proposals for the distribution of rooms, the location of furniture and combination of colours according to the indications of the shipyard and the Shipowner.

Insulation

We have supplied and installed fire-resistant, thermal and acoustic insulation in bulkheads and decks. We also do insulation works in cold stores.

Bulkheads

Next, we supply and install the bulkheads according to the requirements of the technical specification (class A, B or C) and, for wet areas, different PVC and INOX finishes. We also carry out the supply and installation of registers in bulkheads and methacrylate screens.
