High-spec twin-rig trawler

Arklow Marine’s first UK fishing vessel is kitted out with space saving Class 50 DuroWipers which are proving to be invaluable in maintaining visibility during incremental weather in the Channel.

The 14.95m twin-rig trawler Diligent Jo LT 1045 started fishing out of Plymouth in September.
Central to the vessel’s design was its clever use of space so a compact wheelhouse was designed on the shelterdeck top. Consequently, the wipers had to give the best performance possible with space at a premium.
The vessel was built under the watchful eye of Seafish to a very high level of specification and internal fit-out for Roger Klyne.
