EUROPEAN UPDATE waters. Flekkefjord is building a pair of identical 144-ft. x 36-ft. (44- m x 11-m) trawlers, again for

Killybegs, to be namedFatherMcKee and Brendelen when the owners' existing vessels of these names are sold. Simek, also based in

Flekkefjord has aimed its efforts at

Scotland with the very recent deliv- ery of Vigilant, a 166-ft. (50.45-m) purse seiner, and is currently work- ing on a 188-ft. (57.5-m) pelagic trawler for the Shetland Isles.

Armon in Spain has also concen- trated heavily on attacking the Scot- tish market with the delivery of

Crusader, an 85-ft. (26-m) steel ves- sel. This is due to be followed shortly by Vela, an 80-ft. (24.2-m) trawler.

The company has also recently de- livered a 143-ft. (43.5-m) freezer longliner to a Spanish operator.

The Dutch yard of Visser den

Helder is in the middle of a three- beamer order of its Mark III Multi- purpose Trawler design for Ger- many. The first, Stella Polaris, has been delivered and the second is in the latter stages of completion.

Further afield, the company is work- ing on a series of 70-ft. (21.3-m) fish collection vessels for the Maldive

Islands in the Indian Ocean.

Having a tough time fighting the attentions of overseas yards, Scot- tish yards have been concentrating on doing what they do best — build- ing traditional fishing vessels tai- lor-made to local needs. Two in particular are faring reasonably well as a result. Incredibly, Macduff has three orders for 68-ft. (20.7-m) wooden vessels, despite having an- nounced that it had built the last in this material several years ago. The yard has also recently completed a 90-ft. (24.4-m) steel trawler and has another to build. The Jones Buckie

Shipyard is renowned for the qual- ity of its vessels which maintain a high resale value. It has just deliv- ered two stern trawlers and there are two more are in build — all for local skippers.
