Werft Shipbuilding delivers Z-575: a showcase of efficiency, reliability, and versatility at sea
Werft Shipbuilding proudly announces the successful delivery of the Z-575, a modern fishing vessel that immediately stands out for its performance, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Following a waiting period for official documentation from the Belgian authorities, the Z-575 has now officially entered service — with excellent results. This delivery not only concludes an administrative delay, but more importantly marks the beginning of a promising new chapter for the owner and crew. The Z-575 was built to excel in multiple areas: reliability, sustainability, and multifunctionality.
A versatile workhorse for modern fishing
The Z-575 was developed with the specific needs of today’s fisherman in mind. The vessel is designed for maximum flexibility in fishing techniques and seasonal catch requirements. Thanks to its smart layout, spacious working deck, and tailored technical features, the Z-575 can be easily adapted to various fishing methods without compromising on safety or efficiency.
This gives fishermen a practical advantage in responding to changing catch opportunities and regulations. As such, the vessel distinguishes itself not only in sustainability and efficiency but also in its multifunctional deployment.
Stable and reliable at sea
From its first sea trials to its current deployment, the Z-575 has proven to operate reliably and efficiently, without any significant technical issues.
Due to the vessel’s relatively compact length in combination with its installed power, the stability requirements were particularly demanding. The result is excellent stability and a highly comfortable motion at sea, confirmed by the crew.
One of the most remarkable features of the Z-575 is its exceptionally low fuel consumption. In an era where fuel expenses heavily impact the operational costs of fishing vessels, this ship offers a clear economic advantage. The combination of an optimized hull design, modern propulsion technology, and innovative electrical systems makes this possible.
“The Z-575 is performing beyond expectations. We immediately found our rhythm! Fuel consumption is exceptionally low, especially compared to similar trawlers,” says owner Jelle Hakvoort. “It’s a clear step forward, both in terms of cost savings and environmental impact.”
Looking ahead
The Z-575 demonstrates how modern shipbuilding can actively contribute to a future-proof fishing industry. It combines operational reliability with sustainable technology and versatile usability. Werft Shipbuilding remains committed to delivering innovative, high-quality solutions to the maritime sector. The delivery of the Z-575 marks an important milestone in that ongoing mission.
