Launched from the Admiralty shipyards,Leningrad in April 1969 the Vostok was at that time the largest factory ship of her type in the world and the flagship of the Black Sea fishing fleet when into service 1971. Registered Ilyichevsk, Ukraine, with only one in class, she carried 14 plastic hulled trawler / seiners of the Nadezhda type in davits, these being equipped to fish by trawl, purse seine and electric fishing. These feeder vessels were directed to the fish shoals by a "spotter" helicopter, based onboard the Vostok. As a floating cannery and freezer vessel she had an output of about 150,000 cans and 200 tons of frozen fish per day as well as reducing all ofal to fishmeal onboard. With around 600 crew to look after she was equipped with a cinema, concert hall, club, library, shops, medical centre as well as living quarters and production deck so quite a ship! Intended to stay at sea for periods of up to 120 days. 26400gt and 225m loa she was eventually scrapped Aliaga / Turkey in 1997. Spent one summer season off Lerwick in the early 1990s during the klondyking years, but was without catchers at the time. Sadly never managed to get a good picture of her!

Brgds/John

If my memory serves isn't this a mothership with her small fleet of purse seiner's onboard ??

I remember reading about these ships in an old book back in the very early 1980's and seem to remember that they were built to fish in the Indian Ocean / Pacific Ocean for Tuna / Pelagic fisheries.

John do you have any more info on her ??
