Spanish tuna fishing company, Group Echebaster, is updating its fleet with a new tuna freezer vessel built by fellow Spanish company, Zamakona Shipyards.
The 737 vessel named Jai Alai, is the sister vessel of Izaro, and will be used for the company’s tuna fishing operations in the Indian Ocean.
It has been fitted with the latest state-of-the-art technology, features a superstructure and aluminium bridge and tunnels for ultra-tuna freezing at -60 degrees Celsius.
More than two hundred fifty people will attend the naming ceremony, including representatives of the Basque Government and Central Government of Seychelles, Port of Bilbao, Zamakona Shipyards staff, suppliers and customers of the group, as well as partners and staff of the shipowner company.
