The rupee used to be incomprehensible.

Zhang Hang is also, although he has been engaged in the fishing industry for several years, his understanding of fishing boats is a little better than that of Xiaobai.

"A fiberglass longline fishing boat of about 27 meters, with ultra-low temperature, fishing equipment, etc., 7 million, can it be done?" Ruby asked.

"Almost." Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "27 meters, with ultra-low temperature ...... Between 5.5 million and 11 million. The price varies greatly depending on the configuration. ”

The price of FRP hull, calculated according to tonnage, is about the same. Then there are the differences in the configuration of the main engine, fishing equipment, and so on. Depending on the configuration, the price can be doubled, or even more than doubled.

"Minimum, 5.5 million?" Zhang Hang looked over.

"5.5 million, beggar's version, more expensive and easier to use. As far as the eight classics are concerned, all of them are complete, and they have to be in the early seven million. Chen Yuan said: "The equipment of fishing boats should not be too cheap, after all, it is a long-term sea operation, and if the equipment often makes mistakes, then there is no need to do it." ”

"Chen Yuan." Zhou Sheng shouted in the cabin: "Phone." ”

Chen Yuan walked in: "Whose phone number?" ”

"Uncle Yan, your father-in-law." Zhou Sheng was controlling the ship and handed the phone to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took it: "Uncle." ”

"Hey." Yan Fuli smiled and replied, "Are you busy?" ”

"Nope."

"Tony, you've met."

"Yes."

Tony, full name Tony Laus. Xu Xing's friend, the owner of Tony Laus Fishery.

Chen Yuan had met Tony Laus before, and he inquired about ultra-low temperature fishing boats locally.

Fiji also has a well-developed fishery resource, and it is difficult to sell it locally at a good price. As for exporting, it's also quite difficult.

Tony has a couple of old fishing boats, and the fish he catches, all of which are sold at the Catch Dock.

"Uncle Xiaoxi is going to invest in a 27-meter ultra-low temperature longline fishing boat, the money is not enough, ask me to buy shares, what do you think?" Hikofuri asked.

"Uncle Xiaoxi has immigrated to Fiji?" Chen Yuan asked.

"No, he got a permanent residence green card, and he didn't immigrate."

Chen Yuan let out a 'hmm' and said, "It's okay." Fiji is rich in fishery resources, and it is good to invest in fishing vessels. ”

"In Fiji, it's better to have a big boat or a small boat."

"If you have enough funds, you can choose a big ship, then you must choose a big ship." Chen Yuan said.

"Do you only fish in Fiji, or do you choose a big boat?" Hikofuli wondered.

"The big ships are very capable of storing more catches. And it is ultra-low temperature, so I am not afraid that the fish will not be fresh after a long time. Chen Yuan said: "For example, a 26-meter longline fishing boat, the largest ultra-low temperature fish tank is 25 cubic meters. The 39-meter longline fishing boat can reach more than 150 cubic meters in the ultra-low temperature fish tank, and there is also a freezing room of about 30 cubic meters. ”

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Uncle Xiaoxi."

Chen Yuan wanted to say a few words, but Yan Fuli hung up the phone.

"Do you want to invest in fishing boats?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.

"Xiaoxi's uncle wants to invest in fishing boats, but he doesn't have enough money, so he asked my father-in-law to partner ......," Chen Yuan said.

Zhou Sheng looked at the rupees behind them and whispered, "Rupees, they also want to change fishing boats?" ”

"Their boat is too scary, the fuel consumption is higher than that of the Big Fish, and there doesn't seem to be much room for change." Chen Yuan said.

During this time, Rupee and their boats were making money, but most of the waters where they hooked were in the lagoon. When they are not in the fishing season, they operate normally, and the fuel consumption of their ship is too high......

Their ship consumes nearly 3 tons of fuel per day, which should be the maximum fuel consumption. The fuel consumption of the fishing boat, the fuel consumption out of the refrigerated tank is fixed, and the fuel consumption of the main engine is not fixed.

"If I want to buy a new ship, I can also invest some money." Qiu Zhilong handed a cigarette to Ruby, and when he saw Chen Yuan coming, he also handed over a cigarette.

Ruby looked at Zhang Hang: "It depends on what Zhang Hang means." ”

"I have no opinion."

"How long does it take to buy a new boat?" Qiu Zhilong looked at Zhou Jianguo.

"Between 25 meters and 30 meters, FRP derivative fishing boats, from order to delivery, usually 180 days. This time also depends on whether there are ready-made hulls. Zhou Jianguo said.

Chen Yuan also nodded: "If there is no ready-made hull, if it is fast, it will be about 100 days." You can also place an urgent order, if the shipyard has a large number of orders, the urgent order needs to add additional money. ”

"I'll ask my father." Ruby said and looked at Zhang Hang: "If you buy a new ship, what will you do with the current ship?" ”

"Sell it." Zhang Hang said.

There is no better way to deal with it than to sell it. Moreover, their boat is in the hands of knowledgeable people, and it cannot be sold for a fee.

"Actually, the current ship can still be used if the main engine is replaced. Replace the diesel engine with a marine main engine...... 24 meters, change to a 400kw host, it should be about the same. Qiu Zhilong said.

"If you change the main engine, you have to change the propeller." Chen Yuan said.

"400kw, how fast can it reach? How much fuel consumption per hour? ”

"Matching propellers with an open efficiency of not less than 0.57, 400kw, speed 11 knots, 12 knots...... It should be fine. This is just an approximate estimate......" Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Jianguo.

Zhou Jianguo nodded: "Your ship is small, and the power of the main engine does not need to be particularly large." The speed is within 13 knots, and the requirements for the main engine are not very high. 400kw host, enough to use. And your generator sets, it's best to replace them with generators that burn marine oil. 400kw, fuel consumption per hour is about 75kg, which is the fuel consumption in the sailing state. ”

"Okay, let's look into it." Rupee: They said goodbye and left.

Zhou Jianguo got up to see them off, and patted Qiu Zhilong on the shoulder with a smile: "Your boat, the structure is very old, and it is very troublesome to replace the main engine." My suggestion is to just buy a new boat, like the offshore tuna longline in the Gilbert Islands, which is 26 meters, which is very good. ”

Qiu Zhilong said 'um': "Can more than seven million be done?" ”

"Almost. If money is tight, 26 meters is about the same. 650 horsepower, fish storage should be more than 70 cubic meters, self-sustaining power is about half a month......"

Self-sustaining, independent offshore operation for a long time.

650 horsepower, which translates to 477kw.

As for the fish storage volume, seventy cubic meters. A freezing room of more than ten cubic meters, and an ultra-low temperature fish tank in the early twenties. The rest is a normal freezer......

The ship is small, and the ultra-low temperature fish tank cannot be particularly large. After all, not all catches require ultra-low temperatures......

The 26-meter-long fishing boat is also quite large. The floor height of an ordinary commercial house is generally 2.8 meters.

If you were to erect a 26-meter fishing boat, it would be at least eight stories tall......

There is not much money, and the 26-meter tuna longline fishing boat is almost usable. Sufficient funds, naturally the bigger the better.

Rupee's current 24-metre longline fishing vessel is positioned as an offshore longline, and there is not much room for upgrading.
