Xiang Yang has always wanted to form a fleet consisting entirely of ocean-going fishing vessels.
This time he came, he naturally wanted to take a look.
When the salesperson heard Xiang Yang's words, her face suddenly lit up with joy. As salespeople, they like people who can come in and immediately name the product they want.
This type of person is most likely to buy the product.
Xiang Yang was asking about distant-water fishing vessels in particular. If she completed such an order, the commission would definitely be considerable.
"Sir, ocean-going fishing vessels are divided into medium-sized ocean-going fishing vessels, large ocean-going fishing vessels, and giant ocean-going fishing vessels. You can also customize super-giant ocean-going fishing vessels. Which one would you like to see?" the salesperson asked politely.
There is definitely no need to think about customizing a super-giant ocean-going fishing vessel, as the price of this vessel is simply beyond Xiang Yang's ability to afford at the moment.
The giant ocean-going fishing vessel Xiang Yang is probably in trouble too.
As for the large ocean-going fishing vessel, Xiang Yang felt that he could take a look.
At present, Xiang Yang's vehicle is a large ocean-going fishing vessel. If he can purchase another large ocean-going fishing vessel, Xiang Yang can also use two fishing boats to carry out double trawling, or directly find a fishing ground and carry out purse seine fishing.
"Take me to see the large ocean-going fishing vessels." Xiang Yang said.
The purple-haired salesman smiled until his eyes narrowed when he heard this. "Boss, we have four types of large ocean-going fishing vessels in stock here. Three of them can be transferred, and one can be customized. I wonder what your budget is?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Please show me the goods you have here first."
"Okay, sir, please come this way." The purple-haired salesperson led Xiang Yang to a counter with a smile on his face.
The first thing Xiang Yang said was that he wanted to see the ocean-going fishing boats, rather than just taking a look first. It was obvious that he came with a purpose and was the most likely customer to place an order.
The sales lady walked and chatted with Xiang Yang with a smile, and asked him indirectly about which sea area Xiang Yang was in and what kind of job he did.
After taking it, the salesgirl was surprised to find that no matter whether she was talking about the ocean, fish, or ships, Xiang Yang could easily resolve her hidden questions. Xiang Yang's profound knowledge was far beyond her imagination.
Suddenly, she put away her contempt and knew that she had met an expert.
After asking around, the salesgirl learned Xiang Yang's name, "Mr. Xiang, the model I'm going to show you is called..."
Xiang Yang lost interest in the boat after just one look. He looked at the ocean-going fishing boat because he already had one and wanted to get another one, making two in total. This way he could tow a big net, and let the two boats take care of each other when fishing in the ocean, like a tugboat. This would undoubtedly be most beneficial to Xiang Yang.
But the first ocean-going fishing vessel that the salesgirl introduced to Xiang Yang was actually a fat ocean-going fishing vessel used for purse seine. Xiang Yang was certainly not interested in such a vessel.
"This ship is called the Little La Fayette. It is a replica of the La Fayette in scale. Its functions are exactly the same as the real La Fayette, and its performance is also based on the La Fayette. It has superb processing capabilities and can process and freeze 300 tons of fish a day." The salesgirl introduced the second large ocean-going fishing vessel to Xiang Yang.
La Fayette is a very controversial ocean-going fishing vessel. It was launched in 2009 and there are many Chinese fishermen on it. It is 228.6 meters long, 32.2 meters wide, with a total tonnage of 49,367. Some people say it is the largest fishing vessel in the world. In fact, Xiang Yang knows that La Fayette is not a real fishing boat at all, and it does not even have the ability to catch fish.
La Fayette was converted from an oil tanker in 2009. It has no fishing capacity. Even if it had the capacity, it would not be able to catch fish. How many tons of oil would such a large ship consume in a day to drag a net? Wouldn't it be a loss to use it to catch fish
La Fayette is more like a mid-course supply ship like an offshore refueling tanker. It can only serve as a processing mother ship to process, store and transship fish for other daughter ships in the fleet that do not have processing capabilities.
Xiang Yang was not very concerned about the nature of such a fishing boat. The fishing boat he had had processing capabilities and there were several complete production chains on board. As far as the current catch was concerned, the processing capacity of that boat was completely sufficient. What Xiang Yang needed now was an ocean-going fishing boat with strong storage capacity and the ability to cooperate with another fishing boat to carry out double trawling.
In fact, Xiang Yang knew that a truly mature fleet was not composed entirely of ocean-going fishing vessels. In fact, most fleets only needed one ocean-going fishing vessel.
Offshore fishing is a component of marine fisheries and refers to fishing activities carried out in the high seas and exclusive economic zones of other countries, far away from the country's fishing ports or fishing bases.
When Xiang Yang was in college, his teachers usually referred to fishing operations on the high seas as oceanic fisheries, and operations within the exclusive economic zones of other countries as transoceanic fisheries, and distant-water fisheries are such fisheries.
The offshore fishing fleet consists of a large processing mother ship with high degree of mechanization and automation, advanced and complete fishing aid and navigation instruments and equipment, long endurance, and equipment for freezing, refrigeration, aquatic product processing, and comprehensive utilization, as well as a number of fishing boats, refueling ships, and transport ships.
Xiang Yang's ocean-going fishing vessel has complete equipment for processing aquatic products and can be used as a mother ship, but its storage capacity is still insufficient. What he needs now is a ship with storage capacity to cooperate with that ocean-going fishing vessel and to build a core of the ocean-going fishery first.
Next, the salesgirl showed Xiang Yang two other existing large ocean-going fishing vessels.
Unfortunately, none of them satisfied Xiang Yang.
But Xiang Yangye was not too disappointed. At present, there are a limited number of units in my country engaged in the design and construction of distant-water fishing vessels. There are few types of distant-water fishing vessels designed and built independently, the technical reserves are insufficient, and it is a fact that the overall construction level is backward.
my country's distant-water fishing vessels are slow, energy-intensive, and have fuel costs that account for 40%-50%, which is about 15% higher than those of advanced countries' distant-water fishing vessels of the same power.
Although my country has the title of a major shipbuilding country in the world, it does not build many high value-added fishing vessels, and it is true that the advanced design and construction technologies of the shipbuilding industry have not benefited distant-water fishing vessels.
"Sir, among these four models of fishing boats, have you decided which one you want to buy?" the saleswoman said with a smile.
Xiang Yang smiled. He just came to take a look. Not to mention that he was not satisfied, even if he was satisfied, he didn't have the money to buy it at the moment. He could only plan slowly for the future.
"These ocean-going fishing vessels are all good, but they are somewhat different from what I need." Xiang Yang shook his head.
