 Thrane & Thrane has joined forces with the Fishing Vessel Northwestern, one of the lead king crab boats in the smash hit Deadliest Catch television show.
Since 2005 the Discovery Channel has aired the documentary ”Deadliest Catch”. The program shows life aboard the crab fishing vessels off the coast of Alaska, and gives a unique insight into the extreme conditions crews are working under.
Sig Hansen and his brothers’ F/V Northwestern is one of the most featured boats in the hit show, which airs in over 170 countries.
The entire F/V Northwestern communications package is made up of:
- SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband
- 2 x SAILOR System 5000 150W MF/HF
- SAILOR RT5022 VHF DSC Class A
- SAILOR RT2048 VHF
- SAILOR SGE-II EPIRB
- SAILOR SART II
- SAILOR TT-3026 mini-C
- 5 x SAILOR SP3510 Portable VHF
- 2 x SAILOR SP3520 Portable VHF GMDSS
“We are confident in the ability of all SAILOR products to withstand the harshest environments,” says Casper Jensen, VP Maritime Business Unit. “We actively seek out the toughest tests possible for SAILOR, such as the Volvo Ocean Race and now on board perhaps the most famous professional fishing vessel in the world, which regularly operates in the most extreme conditions encountered at sea”.
