Rick Young, director of design with TriNav Marine Design. - ContributedA design that earned TriNav Marine Design a $500,000 grand prize in a competition to design an energy efficient hull has caught the attention of the Miawpukek First Nation of Conne River, N.L.

In addition to the innovative hull, the new vessel will also be equipped with a zero-carbon emitting propulsion system, using a fully electric motorized system running off battery banks or hydrogen cell technology."That fits well with our strategic goals and positions MFN as a first mover in paving the way for zero carbon emitting work boats and fishing boats in the coming years," said Chief Joe.

"A refined entry angle makes it easier to push water away from the vessel as it moves forward, requiring less energy to do so. We refined the stern shape to reduce waterline breadth to reduce drag, without affecting stern buoyancy and trim,” he said.Shayne MacDonald, executive director with the MFN, told SaltWire the project is at the"idea and concept stage" of planning.The latter depends on the design chosen for the 48-foot vessel and other components used in the build.
