The seventh new beam trawler for Belgian owners to be delivered in the space of two years, F/V Avanti Z-26 is largely identical to Franson Z-91, which was has been fishing since last year. Avanti has been built for Steve Depaepe of Rederij Devan, whose family has a long connection with fishing. His father Freddy Depaepe was a well-known trawler owner and also a director of Belgian vessel operator’s federation Rederscentrale.
