H a l t e r M a r i n e Launches C a t c h e r/ Processor For Lund Fisheries

The Moss Point, Miss., yard of Halter Marine, a Trinity Industries company, recently launched the catcher/processor fishing vessel Atlantic Prince being constructed for Lund Fisheries of Cape May, N.J. The 150-foot boat had an extremely short engineering and building period— less than six months from contract signing to complete design to owner's requirements to launching, even with the disruptions of three hurricanes.

Propulsion for the twin-screw vessel is provided by two Caterpillar 3512 diesel engines with a total output of 1,800 bhp. Her 435-kw generators are driven by Cat 3412 engines.

The Atlantic Prince was christened by Mrs.

Evelyn Lund. The principal partner in Lund Fisheries, Warren Lund, said that he is pleased with the design and workmanship on the vessel.

The Moss Point yard has a record of supplying fishing vessels for both the Pacific and Atlantic fisheries. The recent keel laying of the T-AGOS ocean surveillance vessel for the Navy and the launching of the Atlantic Prince show the adaptability of Halter Marine in building both military and commercial vessels in the same yard.
