Contessi Demonstrates Its Confidence
Mar del Plata shipyard Astillero Contessi has launched a new coastal fresher trawler to operate in the Patagonian ports of Rawson and Comodoro Rivadavia. The yard not only celebrated the delivery of its 147th newbuild, but also the opening of a new fabrication hall capable of handling hull lengths of up to 85 metres. Nunca te detengas Pachaca replaces Pachaca, a similar vessel delivered by Contessi in 2006. The 21-metre trawler has 15% more carrying capacity than the vessel it replaces, a prerogative of operators who place orders with domestic shipyards to renew their fleets.

Grupo Arbumasa’s New Fresher Trawler
Huafeng 882 is the third of six trawlers ordered in 2021 by Dalian Huafeng Aquatic Products, part of Grupo Arbumasa. Earlier in 2022, Contessi launched the first two vessels, which have already been successfully fishing during the recent season. Like its sister vessels, Huafeng 882 is a 24-metre fresher trawler, designed to fish not only Argentine red shrimp but also the several other species outside the shrimp season. Huafeng 882 is a double-decked ship mostly made of steel, with an aluminium superstructure. A fresquero, it does not have freezing capacities, but it has an insulated fishroom, provided by Nautiplast, for landing catches fresh in ice, and a chiller supplied by PM Refrigeración.

Contessi Launches Fresher Trawler for Arbumasa
According to Domingo Contessi, F/V Huafeng 827 is much similar to the recently launched fresher F/V Antonia D, a multipurpose double-decked trawler with steel hull and aluminum superstructure. ‘But there are a few differences. Antonia D has electric winches, while Huafeng 827 has a hydraulic winch system,’ he said. The new trawler has two Berycar GPH-6L trawl winches, two net drums from the same supplier, plus a mooring winch. He added that the fishroom capacity and the internal layout are also different in the new vessel. Video’s, photos, >click to read< 15:28
