Businessbuoyant:New wave of vessels needed to keep up with changes in the industry

摘要

ACRITICAL need for workboats on Scotland's aquaculture sites is bringing a welcome boost to the Scottish boatbuilding industry, but it still needs to do more to woo fish farmers away from shipyards overseas.Designing and building workboats for Scottish salmon farms presents a very lucrative market. Fish farms rely on a network of workboats, such as live fish carriers, tugboats, feed barges, crew transfer vessels, pontoon boats, platform supply vessels, dredgers, and other types of utility craft.A new wave of vessels are also needed to keep up with changes in the industry, for example the move from chemical to mechanical sea lice removal, such as Hydrolicers and Thermolicers.
