A pair of 50.45-metre, 12.50-metre beam vivier crabbers have been delivered to Russian Far East fishing company Ostrovnoy-Krab.
Trials have been carried out and the two newbuilds have been delivered to the owners at a formal ceremony.
Mekhanik Tsuranov and Mekhanik Stepanov are designed to fish with conical traps, with catches held in cages in temperature controlled vivier tanks.
Built at the Otradnoye shipyard, Mekhanik Tsuranov and Mekhanik Stepanov each have a 461 cubic metre vivier capacity. These crabbers are designed to spend up to 30 days at sea, and to operate with a crew of up to 30.
The two crabbers have been built under the state investment quotas initiative.
