New Beamer Hits The Water
A year on from the launch of Interfish beam trawler Admiral Gordon at Parkol Marine Engineering’s facility in Middlesbrough, the yard has launched sister vessel Admiral Blake PH-440 for the same customer. The yard’s newbuild no 60, Admiral Blake was wheeled out of the fabrication shed and craned into the Tees. Sister vessel Admiral Gordon was delivered last year and was the first beam trawler over 20 metres in length to be delivered by a UK yard for more than thirty years.

New Crabber for Bridlington Family
Genesis has been built by Parkol Marine Engineering to an Ian Paton design for Neil Robson and his sons, who between them run Genesis Fishing. The new boat will work from Bridlington, skippered by elder son George, while younger son John skippers the company’s other crabber, Genesis Enigma. An older crabber, Genesis Rose, is about to be sold now that the new boat is fishing. ‘We’ve been fishing all January, and obviously we are made up with her, few bits of teething troubles but nothing major, the new deck layout works great, we have had a mixed bag of weather 45/50 knot winds on one trip, which was good to see and get a good feel of how she performs,’ George Robson said.

UK Export Finance support unlocks new contract to export fishing boat to Ireland.
Family-owned shipbuilder, Parkol Marine Engineering, has announced the launch of its new vessel, F/V Green Isle, which on completion will sail to the west coast of Ireland from Middlesbrough, marking its expansion across the country. The boat is the second to be built as a result of a new £3m Bond support package from UK Export Finance (UKEF). The contract is the second exporting win for the business, with the first contract secured in 2020 for a 27-meter fishing trawler commissioned by Irish fishing company D&N Kirwan. >click to read< 15:55 Nice photo here, >click<
Advanced Scalloper packed with technology
The 19 metre automated scallopers Ròis Mhàiri OB-45 and Star of Jura OB-278, built by Parkol Marine Engineering in 2005 and 2006 respectively, have given years of good service to the Star Fishing Company, an equal partnership between John McAlister (Oban) Ltd and Seafood Ecosse Ltd in Peterhead. So it was logical for John McAlister to take the order for the new Summer Rose to the same yard. Built by Parkol in Whitby to a new round bilge hull form developed by SC McAllister & Co, Summer Rose is designed to fish up to eleven dredges each side, worked with outer hull tipping doors and a system of catch hoppers and conveyors. >click to read< Summer Rose has an innovative system of handling its fishing gear,>click to read< The electronics package on board Summer Rose, >click to read<15:34
