March 2010:

First successful testing with the ASV Mono 65’ testvessel. Fuel consumption at 30 knots speed only 5,7 litre pr NM, approximately 40 – 45% less than the consumption of a comparable “wet” monohull.

May 2009:

The first designs in the new range of ASV mono “soft motion” vessels, successfully presented at the RINA conference in Pool, UK. Designs will be prepared for a wide range of applications and propulsions. The first designs presented were configured for Water Jet propulsion, designed for navy and paramilitary end use.

January 2009:

Design development of a new range of slow- and medium speed ASV hull forms initiated.

December 2008:

European and Chinese patent is awarded for the ASV technology.

November 2008:

Building of the ASV M65’ prototype started at NedShip Group in Turkey.

September 2008:

SES Europe AS awarded NOK 1,0 million in support from Innovation Norway for development of ASV Monohull project with pod propulsion.

January 2008:

Construction of ASV 65’ pleasure boat commenced at NedShipGroup in Turkey. The first ASV mono hull designed for pod propulsion. The almost 20 m long and 5,40 m wide test vessel will be fitted with two modest size Volvo Penta IPS 600 units (2 x 320 kW).

June / July 2007:

A 10 m ASV catamaran with Rolls Royce Water Jet propulsion successfully presented to the maritime industry in Gothenburg Sweden and Oslo Norway. The scaled model of a 40 m and up to 70 knots fast vessel for navy and commercial use, impressed the many persons that tested the vessel, with very soft and comfortable ride.

May 2006:

First public presentation of a new ASV mono RORO vessel design at the RORO 2006 conference in Gent, Netherlands. Presented design configured with water jet propulsion for commercial and navy use. Presented design with a motion damping bulbous bow designed to efficiently direct the upper flow of water away from the hull ;and use the flow of water underneath the bow and towards the air cushion step to secure calm surface conditions within the air cushion and thus reduce cushion ventilation and energy consumption.

September 2005:

A 9 m manned model, of the ASV 125 x 45 express cargo / ROPAX design successfully tested by NTUA as part of the EU project EFFISES, demonstrating very good load carrying capability, speed, comfort and efficiency. Full scale speed 60 knots.
