BERING SEA FISHERIES CONFERENCE
Building the Next Generation
of Bering Sea Vessels
Recent amendments to the American Fisheries Act provide new opportunities for pollock vessel owners to rebuild or replace aging vessels. Actions taken or under consideration by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council should also facilitate replacement of vessels in the Amendment 80 and Freezer Longline fleets.
In April, Fishermen’s News will produce a special conference to provide a forum for vessel owners to hear from naval architects, shipyards, lenders and attorneys about new technologies available to the Commercial Fishing Fleets: design and construction, funding, enabling legislation and federal regulations
The following fisheries and gear types will benefit from attendance at this conference:
- Bering Sea Pollock Fisheries
- H & G Trawl Fisheries (Amendment 80)
- Pacific Cod Freezer Longline Fishery
The conference will also be of interest to the following:
- Naval Architects
- Shipyard Operators
- Processing and Equipment Suppliers
- Commercial Lenders
- Shoreside Processors
Program to include mixture of presentations, panel discussions and case studies.
