No, no, we asked the tree-dwelling Barmans to design and build this trawler. These tree-dwellers are also helping us to build ships for export to european countries like Denmark, Germany and Finland. The following BBC report says how the tree-dweller Barmans with one-third of our GDP have helped Bangladesh to build ships and export them to the Europeans:

Comeon man!! don't troll... We have built this beautiful Trawler, they might be a little jealous (not trolling)... But that does not mean you have to react... we made one good looking ship.... :bounce:

Congrats Bangladesh.

It's very interesting. I'm just preparing a presentation on the Fishing trawler and I'm interested in the history of how it came to be. I found many fishing trawler images for illustration. It should be a fascinating presentation.

I don't know why we revived a 12 year old thread - but oh well.

Western Marine has since made well over a dozen of these 40m trawlers. These small 40m Trawlers don't fish in "deep sea". They fish in shallow littoral seas.

They are currently making a true "Deep Sea" Pelagic Trawling "Purse Seiner" 80 foot trawler for a foreign customer. That is 50% done. First one of many...

This is a similar 64m deep sea pelagic trawler, though a bit small. Belongs to an Irish company.

A very good looking ship. It would be better if the local fishermen could afford to buy them. Our poor local fishermen buy small trawlers to fish in shallow waters.

Deep sea trawling is not for poor local fishermen. They fish in much shallower waters because of the type of nets they use ( which are non-mechanized).

Deep sea mechanized-net trawlers are run by fishery corporations employing fishermen and use these 40~80m medium or deep-trawling trawlers. You can see mechanized drums in this small trawler's case which are hydraulically operated to let go of or reel in nets.

64 to 80m International trawlers (from EU countries in the North Sea off of the coasts of the UK and Northern Europe) can trawl even deeper pelagic ocean depths while 40m trawlers Bangladeshi companies now use only trawl in medium level continental shelf depths.

We need to have our Coast Guard really patrol our economic zone more effectively, because right now Indians, Thai and Myanmarese are stealing our fish blind, right from under us. Indians are really bad in this industry on stealing. They come up from Chennai sometimes to fish in our waters and are of course, getting away with it.

Our coast guard does not have the capability to patrol deep sea waters. They mostly use small ships to patrol the shallow coastal waters and rivers crisscrossed the country. If the govt. wants the Coast Guard to protect our fisheries in deep sea waters then they must allocate more budget to Coast Guard so that they can purchase bigger ships.

The Coast Guard have four older ex-Italian Navy "Leader class" OPVs which are corvette sized, these can patrol deep waters I believe.

And there are plans to buy new OPVs - as DefSeca reported, but how far you can believe these guys - is anyone's guess...

We also heard about Waterjet equipped and GFRP-hulled Turkish OPVs being inducted in 2021. No news since then. Defseca at the time said these batch of nine 50m & 40m vessels were to be built in Bangladesh and the sizes were possibly to be enlarged to more than 50m.
