'Zeus' is a twin-screwed aluminium 22 metre by 7.2 metre feed delivery vessel for the Tasmanian Salmon company, Huon Aquaculture Group.The 'box' behind the wheelhouse is an 180 cubic metre hopper, capable of holding over 100 tonnes of feed in six cells. Quite a jump from the 13-tonnes capacity of the Zeus' predecessor (also designed by me).
A conveyor system automatically delivers the feed under the hoppers and wheelhouse then through the 'snout' to floating feeders (designed by guess who) of 6-tonnes capacity in each fish pen.
Huon Aquaculture built this small ship in house. I guess they and I should take it as a complement that another shipyard has posted it on the Net as their own creation.
