‘Amethyst’, a new steel-hulled trawler has been completed recently by Macduff Shipyards, UK.
The hull which is arranged as a twin rig trawler is a repeat of a vessel built earlier this year, ‘Daystar’. The new vessel was built for Ralston Johnston and partners, and will operate from Fraserburgh through Westward Fishing Company. The hull form is double chine, with a bulbous bow, and box type ballast keel. ‘Amethyst’ measures 19.05 metres by 6.8 metres, with a moulded depth of 3.8 metres. The main engine is a Caterpillar 3412TC rated 375kW at 1,800rpm with a Twin Disc MG5170DC gearbox with 6.95:1 reduction ratio, driving a 1900mm diameter 4 blade Lips propeller in a Lips nozzle. A Mitsubishi 6D24TC auxiliary engine is arranged with a JBJ clutched splitter box to drive the deck machinery hydraulic pumps, and also a 46kW 415/3/50 alternator.
