07.04.2022. and 09.04.2022. at the location of Tehnomont Shipyard in Pula, was held launching ceremony of fishing vessels GR 117 and GR 118. In October 2020, was signed contract for the construction of two 25-meter fishing boats between “60 North Fishing (Shetland) Ltd” from Scotland and Tehnomont Shipyard. These were specific launches because these 25-meter fishing boats were "lowered" into the sea by an 800-ton crane from the Zagreb company Zagrebtrans.
Namely, these are fishing boats for fishing with nets on depth of 200 m, 25 meters long and 9 meters wide. After the launching, all the necessary equipment will be installed on the boats, and each completed one will weigh 400 tons.
One of the interesting things is that the keels of these vessels have a solid ballast of 65 tons of steel. After delivery, the vessels will sail under the names "Copius" and "Prolific".
