Jensen Maritime completes fishing vessel conversion

Jensen Maritime was recently selected to provide engineering services including structural and mechanical work for the conversion of a 170-foot long, 40-foot wide, fishing vessel for Global Seas and Patti Marine Enterprises Inc. The vessel, now named Defender, underwent significant conversion to make it the first fish pumping vessel in the Global Seas fleet. Because the vessel was being converted from fishing work on the East Coast (herring and mackerel) to West Coast fishing (pollock), a new fish pumping system was installed on the stern and a new full forward, sheltered fish distribution room was constructed for protection during the fish sorting process. Both changes make the vessel better suited for the operations and weather of its new Alaska fishing assignment. - See more at: http://www.worldfishing.net/news101/shipyardsrepairers/jensen-maritime-completes-fishing-vessel-conversion#sthash.mGGiiuos.dpuf
