Skippered by David and Iain Morgan, the Peterhead beam trawler Morning Dawn PD 359 recently became the first fishing vessel in the world to have the latest generation (MkV) of RoxAnn GD seabed classification system installed following close collaboration between two Aberdeen companies, reports David Linkie.
