Taking under 10 Metre Trawlers to a New Level
Built for North Deven fishing company S&J Trawlers, F/V Our Frankie Shan is the latest and most advanced in a series of under ten-metre trawlers that have come from the C Toms & Son yard. F/V Our Frankie Shan is an SC McAllister design by Ian Paton and draws on the success of previous trawlers built to the same pattern, starting with F/V Saxon Spirit, also built at C Toms in 2018m and followed by Claude Henry and Simon Paul – and with another soon to be completed 10m trawler under construction. This latest vessel is designed as a multi-purpose fishing vessel capable of alternating trawling with either doors or beam gear, and scalloping. with the deck laid out for a quick switchover between fishing methods.

Argentinian shipyard Contessi launches multi-purpose fishing vessel Camilo S.
The multi-purpose fishing vessel Camilo S will fish primarily for Argentinian red shrimp, but it can also operate on hake, anchovy, and other stocks. Built for owner Mateo Mariscal, F/V Camilo S is designed to work coastal waters. The deck is laid out for either demersal or pelagic trawling with Berycar hydraulics, including a trawl winch with two main drums and a bagging winch. The codends are emptied into hoppers on deck and the contents pass through the catch handling system on the foredeck designed for rapid grading and sorting, and with selected shrimp boxed in ice in the fully insulated fishroom below.
