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.

Contessi Launches Fresher Trawler for Rawson
The Contessi shipyard in Mar del Plata launched at the beginning of August a new coastal fresher trawler built to fish from the port of Rawson for Argentine red shrimp. Nuevo Anave is the latest of a proven series of boats, with 17 trawlers of the same design already operating along the coast of Argentina. ‘This is a classic design by our shipyard. When we look at the landings of Argentine red shrimp over the last year, we see four of this design of trawler among the top five catchers on the list,’ said yard director Domingo Contessi. Raúl Matías Cereseto one of the owners of fishing vessel Nuevo Anave, confirmed that it was precisely for this reason that he and his associate decided to order a boat of this design. There are around ten boats of that pattern operating in Rawson and we already knew that it had great efficiency. We saw how our colleagues had positive results concerning stability and performance,’ he said. Photos, >click to read< 13:53
