Lorient-based fishing company Scapeche said it has acquired the four trawlers operated by Armement Dhellemmes in Concarneau, part of the Dutch pelagic group Cornelis Vrolijk, retaining all the crews.
Iroise, Corail, Saint-Gothard and Roselend each land approximately 800 metric tons of fish every year.
The rest of the Dhelemmes fleet, three small purse seiners -- War Raog III and IV and Berceau de l’Ocean -- which concentrate on small pelagics, and three former trawlers converted to fish as seine netters, remain as part of Armement Dhelemmes.
