I know what you mean, CT, but this is too small for that. Suspect that it's just that she is no longer equipped for fishing. Just depends w3hich reference source is preferred. Either way, as Vlad says, she probably won't be doing anything for very long.

@ David/Lappino
I think those are "a kind of motherships" for the fishing fleets of the koreans in the S-Atlantic and take the catches of the fishing vessels at sea over and transport back to ports, they are actually therefore reefer ships and not fishers

Thanks for your comment, davidships. I've seen some other vessels very similar to this one being categorized as "reefers" - but in this case I have really just followed Marine Traffic...

Don't know why GrossTonnage and MarineTraffic have her as a reefer. Stern trawler in most other references.
