Watching Kirkella emerge through snow blizzards and flying spray while approaching Spurn Point to pick up a pilot from the Humber pilot boat Neptune, the vessel’s modern streamlined appearance and attractive lines were immediately apparent.
Kirkella’s dimensions are 86.10m overall, with a beam of 16m, depth to shelterdeck 9.55m. The new ship has full-length trawl and fish-processing decks, advanced freezing techniques to ensure optimum levels of quality and freshness, 1200t refrigerated fishroom capacity at -30°C and crew accommodation in 23 en-suite cabins.
Impressive
