The Artur Becker fishing ship was a series of the Peene shipyard Wolgast . The series of stern trawlers named after the type ship , which was named after the communist Artur Becker , was also referred to as feeder trawler according to its function .

history

Between 1966 and 1968 a total of 23 Artur Becker trawlers were built at the Peene shipyard , 21 of which were used by the Rostock Fish Combine for pelagic and bottom trawling . Two ships were exported to the Soviet Union, one was used as a research ship for the Institute of Oceanography. Six to eight ships each formed a fishing fleet with a transport and processing ship such as the Junge Welt or the Junge Garde .

The last of the 19 trawlers used for deep-sea fishing in the GDR was scrapped in 1991. Four of the ships were last used to catch shrimp .

technology

The lateral arrangement of the deckhouse on the port side and the engine skylight made it possible to achieve an extended catching deck that made up 54 percent of the ship's length. This enabled simplified network handling. A launch and recovery process took less than 30 minutes. Up to 90 tons of fish could be temporarily stored in six receiving bunkers with a capacity of 120 cubic meters. They were cooled with flake ice produced on board. The catch was transported in transfer esters for transfer to the processing ship. These were made buoyant with floats, lowered into the water via the stern slip and taken up by the processing ship.

The feeder trawler was powered by a direct-acting two-stroke plunger engine from the Rostock diesel engine plant with an output of 1,288 kilowatts at 225 revolutions per minute. The ships reached a cruising speed of 12.5 knots or 4.5 knots with a rope train of 120 kilonewtons . The main engine also drove a 320-kilowatt shaft generator for the mains winch and a generator for the on-board power supply.

The ships were designed to operate independently for 66 days, with 44 days at the fishing site.
