Gaspé shipbuilder Chantier Naval Forillon is about to deliver a new trawler/crabber designed by Navanex for Pêcheries Michel Turbide.
The new San Marco VII measures 23.99 metres and is built in steel with an aluminium superstructure. It is expected to fish for redfish in the Gulf of St Lawrence, alternating this with fishing for snow crab during the season, with crab traps handled over the starboard side.
Owner Marco Turbide is based in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine and is ready to take delivery of this new new-generation, multi-role vessel as the yard puts the finishing touches to it ahead of the handover.
The new trawler’s godmother Marie-Claude Jomphe had no problem smashing the traditional champagne bottle against its bow plates to christen San Marco VII.
