Batservice Mandal makes waves with hull design

With groundbreaking design and innovation, Batservice Mandal has created some of the world's fastest and most powerful vessels.

"The hull lines are a key factor in our boat design, which we have developed for many years," says Bjorn Fjellhaugen, managing director of the Batservice Group.

The company's special hull design makes the boats lighter, faster and more economical as the vessels require smaller engines.

The use of carbon fibre instead of aluminium further cuts body weight by 40 per cent. With these innovations, the company was able to reduce overall fuel consumption by 57 per cent and carbon emissions by 66 per cent.

Batservice Mandal leverages the support of 16 sister companies to design and manufacture fully-customised boats. "Among the more than 1,000 vessels we have delivered the past 65 years, no two are the same," Fjellhaugen says.

Fjellhaugen recalls fulfilling an order from Vienna for a 30-metre, 100-seater boat that can run smoothly across the water at 30 knots.
