The vessel is built with a heavily weighted box keel design, to keep weight low, and an anti-roll tank to provide an extremely stable working platform. It is equipped with a diesel electric twin propeller dual-azimuth propulsion system and will be one of the first fishing vessels in the United States built to meet new Tier III emissions standards.
Alaskan Cod Fishery Vessel
This longliner is specifically developed for the Alaskan cod fishery and is designed by Skipsteknisk AS in Norway. This new ST 155L design has a moon pool in the center line for one fish to be caught at a time through the internal haul station, which is a first in the United States. The vessel will efficiently utilize proteins onboard- the fish wastage that is commonly ground up and discharged overboard. The internal haul station allows for the release of non-target species, as well as the crew to accomplish their work inside the boat without being exposed to rough seas or freezing temperatures and with no more risk of falling overboard during hauling.
