They are expected to fish on demersal species in the Bay of Biscay for much of the year, switching to pair trawling for tuna the summer.<\/p>\n<p>The two seiner\/trawlers have a 21.90 metre overall length, with a 7.80 metre beam and are built with a slightly inverted bow to provide good seakeeping qualities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the design, outfitting and supplying the Mitsubishi engines, Padmos also supplied the deck equipment, with a pair of fly-shooting winches aft at main deck level with capacity for 3000 metres of seine rope, and a pair of fishing winches mounted on the shelterdeck, each with capacity for 1000 metres of warp. The 600kg\/8m deck cranes are from EK Marine. Each trawler has four net drums are mounted within the aft gantry over the working deck, with two 5.50m<sup>2<\/sup> and two 4.50m<sup>2<\/sup> net drums, allowing <em>Marie-Lou<\/em> and <em>Dolmen<\/em> to carry a variety of fishing gears on board.<\/p>\n<p>Catch handling installations on board have been fitted out by VCU, and the arrangement on board is also optimised for handling tuna.<\/p>\n<p><em>Marie-Lou<\/em> and <em>Le Dolmen<\/em> each have a 440kW Mitsubishi S6R2-MPTAW-3M main engine turning a 2500mm diameter variable pitch propeller.
