The 84.7-metre-long ADAMAS is the second of two fishing vessels ordered by FDO from the same Zamakona shipyard to support its commercial fishing operations. The first – ACILA – was launched just under a year ago in August 2023.

Like her sister vessel, Adamas is designed with an emphasis on quality materials and finishes, increased efficiency, fuel consumption and speed, and a cooling system tailored to the owner’s needs.

Purse seiner is fitted with KINARCA refrigeration equipment for freezing tunnels for extra high-quality production frozen to -60°, as well as refrigeration equipment for 16 wells with capacity for 1,800 cubic metres, designed to freeze catches to -20°C. The two forward wells are prepared for storage at -55°C.

The two seiners were designed to endure the sailing conditions prevalent in the Indian Ocean. They will have a projected total annual catch of tuna totalling approximately 20,000 tonnes.
