Containing noise and vibration on a long-range passagemaker is extremely important, as the crew is exposed to ambient noise for long periods of time while underway. Bering goes to great lengths to ensure that their vessels are quiet or vibration-free by using state-of-the-art insulation technology, such as vapor paste & perforated metal plates to suppress high-frequency noise.

Bering trawlers are built with Seatorque shafts, one of the quietest and vibration-free propulsion systems on the market. As you can see in the chart, the low decibel level in the wheelhouse of a Bering 80 is only 40 decibels at 1200 rpm and a speed of 8 knots, while the engine room is 90 decibels. In addition, Bering yachts have duplex engine rooms, in which the engines are located on the lower level in the skegs and are also covered by a soundshield. The actual engine room level usually has 2m ceiling height and offers much more space and room to move around. On a Bering yacht, it is so quiet due to low decibel levels that you are more likely to hear the water rushing past the hull than the engine noise.
