Design

edit

Luisito is a fishing trawler built in Japan. She has a single mast on top of the superstructure, and a crane on her stern to haul the fishing net. [3]

The ship can only use the Trawling fishing method.[1]

History

edit

Luisito was donated by Japan in 1983 to the National Fishing School (Spanish: Escuela Nacional de Pesca) "Comandante Luis Piedrabuena", which depends from the Argentine Navy. The donation was part of a Technological Cooperation Agreement between the governments of Argentina and Japan, to be used in applying the theoretical concepts learned in class.[1]

In 2008 it was intended to overhaul her, however the required budget was not allocated.[4]
