New fishing boat launched in Buckie

The Caledonia III has recently been launched at Macduff Shipyards' Buckie facility and is now in the harbour where final fit out is being carried out.

The vessel features a Caterpillar C18 main engine coupled to a 7:1 reduction gearbox and driving a 2,000mm diameter propeller and matching nozzle.

Caledonia III is a sister ship to the Asteria which was also built in Buckie and was handed over last autumn.
