A multi-purpose fishing vessel, combining suction dredging for cockles, beam trawling for shrimp and conventional dredging for mussels, within the tight draught restrictions of the

Thames Estuary, this boat meets the requirements of Seafish and MCA for under 15m fishing vessels, and combines fishing methods by using interchangeable deck sections with differing hatch and coaming sizes. A wide selection of deck gear is accommodated by the large working

deck. The hullform combines very large load capacity with optimum performance, and is ideal

for demanding roles in restricted draught areas.
