Construction Here's what some of that new steel will look like

摘要

Changes to the American Fisheries Act (AFA) on shipbuilding restrictions have prompted a flurry of shipbuilding for the Alaskan fisheries. We're asking several naval architects about how the new construction will be reflected on the water. First up isHal Hockema ofHockema & Whalen Associates in Seattle. "First of all, we are just getting started on designing and building new vessels for the Bering Sea fisheries. It is still very early in the overall process," said Hockema. Some parts of the industry are moving ahead, particularly in the freezer-longline vessels and also the small vessels.
