Vessel Description

The Benthic Harvester is a US-flagged commercial fishing vessel built in 1972, reflecting a design era common to American offshore fishing fleets of that period. As suggested by her name, the vessel is configured for benthic or bottom-oriented harvesting operations, consistent with activities such as dredging, trawling, or shellfish harvesting along the seafloor. With a gross tonnage of 197 GT and a length of approximately 33.5 meters, she falls within the mid-range category of commercial fishing vessels. The vessel carries a Class A AIS transponder as required for vessels of her class operating in US waters, and maintains active registration under US maritime authority.
