MAN B&W Diesel’s Service Center Denmark has finalized a main engine overhaul onboard the factory freezer trawler ‘Lazurnyy’. The 1988-built vessel is one of four large fishing vessels owned and operated by Westrybflot in Kaliningrad, Russia. A sister vessel was inspected earlier this year, and the work on the ‘Lazurnyy’ started on November 27th and was completed on December 14th. ‘Lazurnyy’ is powered by two 3500 BHP, 6 cyl. Pielstick PC 2-5 main engines built under licence by Russki Diesel. Via a Valmet main gearbox, each engine drives a 1500 KVA shaft alternator. The shaft alternators have been subjected to a complete overhaul, including the fitting of new main bearings. The docking of the 103-metre factory trawler was handled by, and in cooperation with, the neighbouring Orskov Yard.
