GO 1 Wouter Adriaantje
|
|
Visserijberdijf W. Melissant & Zn of Goedereede, Netherlands takes
delivery of GO 1 Wouter Adriaantje from Maaskant Shipyards
Stellendam. Wouter Adriaantje has a length over all of 26.99 m,
beam of 6.9 m, and depth of 3.8 m.

The Melissant family, who have been beam trawler operators for
many years, ordered the vessel as a beam trawler, but the owner
decided to change the vessel to fish as a fly shooter with the
possibility of rigging as a twin rig trawler. This meant a major
conversion of the almost complete hull. The wheelhouse was cut off
and re-positioned further forward, the hull has been lengthened
from 23.99 to 26.99m, and a shelter deck installed.

The decision to switch to fly shooter has been a long process.
The first intention was to rebuild the former GO 1 for twin rig
trawls, but the owner managed to sell the vessel to Brixham, and
this opened the possibility of ordering a new vessel from Maaskant
Shipyards.
The ship is built to be energy efficient, and is equipped with a
Caterpillar C32 as the main engine. The vessel is currently
undergoing technical tests and is expected to be handed over to
the owners during March.
