Hukkelberg fully independent

Norwegian boat-builder Hukkelberg has announced it will become fully independent from a sales and marketing agreement with Maritime Partner on the first day of Seawork International 2016.

The company has signed a contract with Redningsselskapet (Norway’s RNLI) to re-fit all 15 Simrad class boats built by Hukkelberg with a new wheelhouse over the next three years.

This comes after the wheelhouse was designed and manufactured in record time and fitted to RS Simard Buholmen, an SAR vessel built by Hukkelberg in 2001.

“Whilst all Hukkelberg end-users are delighted with the high performance and reliability of their boats, it was definitely time to optimise the space available in the wheelhouse and give the range a general face-lift,” explained Kenneth Dale, sales manager at Hukkelberg.

It has also purchased new premises in order to put the new superstructure into full production by April 2016.

In the last 20 years, the Broedrene Hukkelberg (Hukkelberg Brothers) have specialised in the design and building of high speed crafts from 10 to 15m.

The boats are characterised by manoeuvrability, high build quality and low freeboard, which aims to make the designs perfect for FRDC, SAR and Diving Support operation.
