Crab Fishing and Commercial Fishing Vessels & Companies

All fishing vessels

Fishing vessels are purpose-built boats or ships used to harvest fish and seafood. They range from small inshore boats to large industrial ships operating globally in coastal and deep-sea fisheries.

Coastal fishing vessels

Coastal fishing vessels are small to medium-sized boats that operate near shorelines, targeting local fish stocks. They typically return daily and use nets, traps, or lines for inshore fishing.

Crab fishing vessels

Crab fishing vessels are specialized boats designed for catching crabs in northern seas. They are equipped with heavy-duty cranes, trap haulers, and large deck areas for handling and storing crab pots efficiently during long trips.

Deep-sea fishing vessels

Deep-sea fishing vessels are durable ships built for long voyages targeting fish in distant ocean areas. They often include freezing and processing systems to handle large catches efficiently.

Fishing trawlers

Fishing trawlers are powerful vessels designed to catch large volumes of fish using towed nets. They target groundfish and pelagic species across wide marine areas and varying depths.

Norwegian whitefish trawler

Fishing trawlers are commercial vessels used to catch fish by dragging large nets (trawls) through the water. They operate in coastal or deep-sea areas and are equipped with winches, cranes, and processing gear.

Pelagic vessels

Pelagic vessels are specialized fishing ships designed for catching fish that live in the open ocean, away from the sea floor. These vessels typically target species like mackerel, herring, and tuna.

Seal hunting vessels

Seal hunting vessels are specially equipped boats used in icy regions to hunt seals. They feature reinforced hulls, storage for harvested animals, and tools for operating in harsh Arctic or sub-Arctic conditions.

Shrimp trawler

Shrimp trawlers are fishing vessels designed to catch shrimp using trawl nets dragged along the seabed or midwater. These boats feature winches, booms, and sorting decks for efficient shrimp harvesting.
