Focus on Fishing and Aquaculture

We are pleased to once again highlight the global fishing and aquaculture industries by reviewing new vessels entering service worldwide. Some of this week’s inclusions are tuna vessels for Omani and Chinese owners, a trawler for operation in Russia’s Far East, and an electric crewboat that will serve fish farms in Norway.

A variety of propulsion systems are also represented, from conventional marine engines to powerful batteries that help reduce environmental impact. This is certainly appropriate, as we will also be focusing this week on the various marine engines and propulsion systems in service today.
