Vessel Description

The F/V Cap Finistère is a French-flagged stern trawler built by the renowned Piriou shipyard in Concarneau, France, a facility with extensive experience constructing professional fishing vessels. The vessel represents a modern, purpose-built commercial fishing platform designed for deepwater and mid-water trawling operations in the Northeast Atlantic. As a product of Piriou's construction program, the vessel incorporates contemporary naval architecture standards applicable to vessels operating in challenging Atlantic conditions, including the often rough seas of the Bay of Biscay. The name references Cap Finisterre, a historically significant maritime waypoint at the northwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula, reflecting the traditional French Atlantic fishing heritage and the vessel's expected operational waters.
