National Fisheries Development (NFD), a subsidiary of the Tri Marine Group of Companies, has purchased The Solomon Fisher. The 100 ton Fiberglass Reinforced Plywood vessel will be added to their fleet of pole and line boats, and is part of NFD’s plan to increase the supply of tuna to SolTuna in Noro, Western Province, Solomon Islands.
“We have been looking to add more pole and line boats to our fleet, but it’s been difficult to find a design that’s suitable to our fishing grounds, and harder still to find ones that are in good condition,” Cynthia Wickham, Assistant Operations Manager – Long Line and Pole and Line Operations for NFD, said in a statement. “The Solomon Fisher has been diligently maintained and is ready to go fishing. I wish that there were more like her.”
