Vessel Description
Suffolk Chieftain is a traditional UK-registered fishing vessel built in 1968, operating out of Lowestoft on the Suffolk coast of England. As a vessel of this era and registration, she represents a classic British side or stern trawler design typical of mid-to-late 1960s UK fishing fleet construction. The vessel operates in North Sea fishing grounds consistent with her home port of Lowestoft, one of England's historically significant fishing ports. Her IMO number confirms she meets international maritime identification standards despite her age, indicating continued active or semi-active operational status within UK fishing regulations.
