Two new oceangoing fishing ships operating on Northwest Pacific

Recently, the "Eurasian No.1" and "Eurasian No.19", the first two oceangoing fishing ships (for fishing saury and squid) independently made in China, have started their first 4-month oceangoing fishing trip on the fishing grounds of northwest Pacific Ocean.

It is said that the two fishing ships, with a length of 75.6 meters, a width of 11.8 meters and a type depth of 7.3 meters, belong to Ningbo Eurasian Oceangoing Fishery Co. Ltd. They are independently designed and manufactured by Ningbo Boda Shipping Co. Ltd., and at the end of July they were put on water at the Hepu Port in Xiangshan County. As a new type of oceangoing ships in China, they have the characteristics of high speed, flexible rotation, high steadiness and high-degree equipment smartness.

So far, there have been nine oceangoing shipping enterprises in Ningbo, with seven of them possessing the oceangoing qualification from the Ministry of Agriculture. There have been 39 oceangoing fishing ships operating mainly on the north and southeast Pacific, southeast and southwest Atlantic, the Sea of Japan and the Uruguay EEZ. In 2012, the output of the oceangoing fishing stood at 27,200 tons, with a total value of 200 million yuan.

It is reported that before their first oceangoing operation, the "Eurasian No.1" and "Eurasian No.19" have conducted fishing trials on the Yushan Island waters with a water depth of over 20 meters.
