Coastal Transportation haul freight; they’re not a fishing company. Their vessels are “fishing vessels” because of The Rules.

Yes I’m fully aware of what Costal Transport do and the rules that classify their vessels as “fishing vessels”, although the are actually freighters.

The title of the thread says “Working Boats” , which I take to including vessels that actually catch fish.

A Factory trawler in this case:

Northern Eagle was built in 1967 at Trinity Beaumont Shipyard as container vessel Hawaiian Princess. Converted to a Factory trawler by Ulstein Hatlø in 1987:

Maybe a third thread showing fishing boats fishing would be good. Maybe call it “Videos of fishing boats fishing” ?

I thought that fishing vessels qualified as “working boat”, but I may be wrong.

In any cases there are plenty of videos from fishing boats art work to chose from to fill this thread.
