The FV Angelica is one of the best vessels produced by Westcoaster and is highly regarded in the Australian Tuna fleet for her design and performance capabilities. At 22m the vessel is built to catch and carry high quality pelagic species in volume. All tanks are refrigerated and re-circulating and with a total of 39 Tonne of brine water spread over 6 tanks, the carrying capacity of the vessel is impressive. The Owners have kept the vessel to a very high standard throughout her life and have recently installed new brine pumps, 2 x Bitzer refrigeration compressors and a new Koden Radar and Furuno Sounder. The vessel is turn-key ready to go in the Eastern / Western Tuna Billfish Fisheries or ready to convert for trap / pot / line applications. The vessel is in full AMSA 3B survey and at 22 metres, vessels in this condition and capability are rare to market. Please contact Christian Pyke on 0428 233 200 with all enquiries.
