Vessel Description

The F/V RABELAIS is a mid-sized French factory or stern trawler built in 1990, operating under the French flag. As a dedicated fishing vessel, she is designed for extended offshore and deep-sea fishing operations in the North Atlantic and potentially distant water fishing grounds. Her gross tonnage of approximately 1,410 GT and length of nearly 65 meters indicate a vessel capable of sustained fishing campaigns, likely equipped with fish processing and freezing capacity onboard. The vessel maintains an active AIS transponder consistent with SOLAS requirements applicable to vessels of her class and operational profile.
