A fishing vessel or harvesting vessel is a vessel used for harvesting fish, seals, walrus or other living resources of the sea.

Currently, fishing vessels account for almost one third of the world’s civilian fleet. The main types of harvesting vessels include: seiners, trawlers, drifters, longliners, crabbers, floating fish canneries.

Longline trawler. Design PL-457

A modern floating plant carries out all processes of processing of harvested seafood, including cleaning, cutting, freezing, briquetting, packing, packaging, canning, extraction of fish oil, and production of food products. In other words, a modern harvesting vessel is a vessel with a large number of equipment, mechanisms, devices and automatics concentrated in a relatively small size. When designing such vessels, our engineers pay great attention to the layout of the general arrangement of such vessels, work constantly with equipment suppliers and with contracted design organizations that perform narrowly focused design works on technological equipment for such vessels. All this work allows the customer to receive a vessel that meets modern requirements and has excellent operational characteristics.
