Trying to comply with quota rules based on vessel LOA can cause some problems when you still have to pack onboard all the latest and best of equipment and consider crew comfort:

The Norwegian system of quota based on LOA of coastal fishing vessel, combined with the requirement for fancy equipment and crew comfort, makes for som “chubby” looking boat.
Here are some examples:
Liv Elise. blt. 2022. LOA <11 m.:
“Live Elise” is equipped with a Mustad autoline system with 18,000 hooks in the magazine.
Straumværingen, blt. 2021. LOA <15m:
Straumværingen is a multi-purpose vessel, but mainly rigged for Scottish Seine.
She is equipped with RSW-system, but may also deliver her catch alive.
Ke-To blt.2021. LOA <21m.:
Ke-To is rigged both for Scottish Seine and Autoline. Equipped for onboard processing, or to carry the catch live.
Not the nicest of lines, but functional and efficient little boats that maximize their quota.

Not a fishing vessel but a support vessel fot Aker BioMarine’s Krill fishing activity in the Southern Ocean:
Antarctic Provider transport krill products, crew, fuel and consumables between the harvesting vessels and Aker BioMarine’s logistics hub in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The krill meal will usually travel by container boats from Uruguay and up to Norway, but because of shortage of containers the Antarctic Provider now carry her cargo all the way to Norway in the off season, when the three catching and processing vessel in the fleet is in for annual maintenance:
She is now in the North Sea. On her way to Florø for docking after having delivered her cargo of krill meal at Husøya
Here is a description of their operation and the catcher fleet:
Incl. the processing plant in Houston:
