Fishing vessel owner Jérôme Cabaret, based at St Brieuc in the north of Brittany, has taken delivery of new trawler Anthémis from the Piriou yard in Concarneau.
The 22.75 metre LOA Anthémis has a 7.30 metre beam and a depth to the main deck of 3.92 metres, and is built for standard demersal and pelagic fisheries in the Channel and Irish Sea
“Jean Lijour at the design office has done an outstanding job,” Jérôme Cabaret said as he took delivery of the new trawler.
“Anthémis is a fine working platform with a high-quality finish, and offering a combination of comfort, performance and safety. I am totally satisfied with her as she meets my requirements perfectly, thanks to the whole team at Piriou.”
Piriou’s president Vincent Faujour commented that this trawler is the fruit of an initial meeting with the Cabaret family.
“We established an ongoing relationship, supported by shipbroker Atlantique Marine Services and Didier Marchand at Pantocarène,” he said.
“I think we have built the vessel Jérôme Cabaret was expecting. At Piriou, we have been building trawlers for over fifty years and coastal fishing is the origin of our DNA. To abandon this kind of work would be like cutting off our roots.”
Anthémis has a 450kW main engine driving a four-bladed propeller, a fishroom capacity of 80 cubic metres and accommodation for a crew of up to seven. The hull is built in steel with aluminium superstructure.
The hydraulic trawl winches, the net drums mounted in the aft gantry and the gilsons are all supplied by Bopp.
