San Marco VII – New crabber/trawler to operate in Canada’s Gulf of Saint Lawrence

Pêcheries Michel Turbide, a fishing company owned by boat skipper Marco Turbide of Quebec, has taken delivery of a new combination trawling and crab fishing vessel built by Canadian shipyard Chantier Naval Forillon. The Navanex-designed San Marco VII will be operated primarily in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, where it will fish for redfish and snow crab depending on the season. The newbuild has a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure. Power is provided by a Yanmar main engine driving a Kaplan four-blade propeller to deliver speeds of up to 10 knots. The engine produces a high enough torque for trawling operations. Specifications, photos, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 06:56
