Nordic Tugs has unveiled the newest model in its range of pilothouse trawlers, the 2011 Nordic Tug 39. Successor to the popular Nordic Tug 37, the new 39 is built on the same Lynn Senour-designed hull as that of its predecessor, but features a number of significant refinements.
Nordic Tugs President and CEO Andy Lund described the new vessel as an evolutionary advancement developed to offer a better cruising experience. Most evident among the changes are larger windows at salon and pilot house levels, designed to offer passengers a more expansive view and to improve sightlines from the helm. A look inside the salon reveals a new U-shaped settee with enhanced cushioning and a pull-out berth. Facing the settee is an optional overhead-mounted flat-screen HDTV. In the galley, a Force 10 electric cook top, Sharp convection microwave oven and top-loading freezer are now standard. To help improve ventilation, a new Dutch door and two larger sliding windows, all by Diamond Sea-Glaze, are integrated into the salon. In the pilot house, the helm console has been expanded to accommodate large chart plotter and radar display screens. A standard Llebroc captain’s chair has been specified to provide improved comfort, important for proper watch-keeping during lengthy passages.
Below, the guest cabin of the new Nordic Tugs 39 offers a pull-out lower berth that serves as a settee during the day, and a wide bunk at night. The re-designed head features a new Tecma toilet, a fully molded shower stall with a bench seat, and an innovative sliding door that glides open and closed on a space-saving curved track.
The new 39 will feature LED lighting, including interior cabin lighting from Imtra. LED lights use about one-fifth the electricity required by halogen lamps and produce considerably less heat. LED navigation lights typically last ten times as long as incandescent bulbs. Other new features for 2011 Nordic Tugs (32’ and up) include a Maretron NMEA 2000 network extending from stem to stern including the engine room, helm station and signal mast. The network offers “plug-and-play” installation of electronics, gauges and equipment ranging from chart plotters and rudder angle indicators to ultrasonic tank level indicators, depth sounders and the GPS. The system is compatible with the most popular electronics brands for display on the Maretron monitor at the helm.
Standard power is a single 380 hp Cummins QSB 5.9 common-rail diesel paired with the Cummins Vessel View helm display for continuous monitoring of engine and Onan generator operating status.
