Asfilleros Espanoles Delivers Tuna

Purse Seiner

Astilleros Espanoles' Barreras yard in Vigo, Spain, recently delivered a large tuna purse seiner to Albacora SA three months ahead of schedule.

The DNV-classed vessel, named Albacora Uno, is 344.4 ft. (105 m) long and 53.1 ft. (16.2 m) wide, with a draft of 23.9 ft. (7.3 m). Wartsila engines provide the main propulsive power, with auxiliary power by

Caterpillar, propellers by Navalips SA, gearboxes by Renk Tacke and nav- igational systems by Furuno.

The Barreras yard has also signed contracts with Spanish owners

Atunsa and Naviera Albacora and French owner Saupiquet for the con- struction of four additional fishing vessels — purse seiners ranging from 344.4 ft. to 354.3 ft. (105 to 108 m) in length. These vessels will reported- ly be the largest of their type in existence, and one ship will contain a complete factory, with the capability to complete all the steps of freezing and producing tuna fillets. Bureau Veritas has been named as the classi- fication society for these ships.

STILL USING THE RULE OF THUMB?

Complete information about this anchoring program will be supplied to you free of obligation.

We don't doubt for a second a captain's ability to assess an anchoring situation. Nevertheless... accidents can happen but may be prevented with little effort and cost.

On the basis of information from official organizations,

Willem Pot has invested in a software program to assist decisions concerning anchoring. By entering data such as wave height, current, depth and wind speed, this program is ideally suitable for checking whether the decision taken is the optimum one.
