    FV Frontier

    FV Frontier

    Launched 10 August 2004.

    The first steel was cut in November 2002, and steady progress was made throughout the 19 month build period, culminating in the finished vessel.

    It is believed that the FV Frontier will revolutionise the mindset for“small boat” fishing in New Zealand. It has been specifically designed to fish the varied
    conditions and fishing grounds particular to the East Coast South Island of New Zealand, ranging in depth from 10m to 1200m.

    Economic operation within a wide range of fishing areas, from traditional inshore “market” fishing through to deepsea/ offshore fisheries, means that it has the capabilities to handle high volume fish such as Squid, Hoki, and Red Cod in season, while also maintaining the ability to operate with smaller quantities of traditionally higher value / market species such as Flat Fish, Gurnard, Tarakihi, etc.

    The range and specifications of the equipment fitted to this vessel mean that it will be unlike any other small fishing vessel operating in New Zealand at this time, although Stark Bros Ltd seek to change this and are actively looking at the prospects of additional design and build contracts along similar lines to this vessel for pro-active medium and large fishing companies operating within the Inshore and Middle Depth Fisheries.

    A Big Little Ship —This trawler  incorporates features traditionally reserved for the large factory fishing trawlers, and this vessel will deliver quality and economy that can only lead to increased profitability.
