The F/V Billikin last week, loaded with crab pots and headed out to the Bering Sea for Red King crab fishing.

From the interwebs:
The F/V Billikin is a 135-foot commercial fishing and processor vessel built in 1973 and owned by Trident Seafoods. Famously co-owned by Trident founder Chuck Bundrant, it was the first boat in Alaska to feature onboard crab-cooking and freezing gear and appeared on seasons 1 and 18 of Deadliest Catch.

Vessel Overview & History
• Length & Build: 135 feet long, built by Tacoma Boat Building in Tacoma, Washington.
• Home Port: Seattle, Washington.
• Historical Significance: Purchased in the early 1970s by Chuck Bundrant and partners, it laid the foundation for Trident Seafoods by pioneering immediate at-sea crab processing.
• TV Appearances: Featured in Season 1 and Season 18 of Deadliest Catch.

Had to work late yesterday. But at least got these nice shots from the OSI dock.

This is the view at the very end of Captain’s Bay, looking SW, towards the Pot dock. The Shaishnikoff River is in that direction, and so is the final resting place of the SS Northwestern, though the hull is not visible here.

The IT Infinity was in port in Dutch Harbor last week.

This vessel appears to be suited for laying down telecommunication cables on the seafloor as well as with repairing any broken lines.

From Vard . com:

IT Infinity is a Cable Laying Vessel (CLV) built for I.T. International Telecom Marine SRL (IT) to support global subsea telecommunications operations. Originally a Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), it underwent a comprehensive retrofit at Vard Brattvaag, transforming it into a highly specialized vessel for cable laying and maintenance.

The retrofit included the installation of a 60-ton A-frame, 25-ton Cable Drum Engine (CDE), 20-ton Linear Cable Engine (LCE), and MD3 cable plough system, along with a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and fiber optic cable testing equipment. Additionally, the vessel's station-keeping system was upgraded to a fully operational DP2 Class approved positioning system, ensuring precision and safety for offshore operations.

The conversion also included adding accommodations for 32 crew members, with all work completed at Vard Brattvaag in Norway, using approximately 550 tons of steel sourced and processed locally.

From Baird Maritime . com:
The PSV was originally built at Vard Brattvaag in Norway to a Skipsteknisk design and delivered to local shipowner Volstad Maritime in 2008 as Volstad Princess. The vessel has changed ownership several times, with SD Standard Drilling acquiring the ship in 2017 before it was sold to IT four years later and renamed IT Infinity.

The F/V Northwestern last week, loaded with crab pots and headed out to Bristol Bay for Red King crab fishing.

From Wikipedia:

F/V Northwestern is an Alaskan crab, Pacific cod, and salmon tendering commercial fishing vessel featured in the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch. To date the Northwestern is the only vessel to have featured on all 22 seasons of Deadliest Catch as well as the pilot series America's Deadliest Season. The vessel is owned and operated by the Hansen family of the state of Washington with Sig Hansen serving as the vessel's primary captain.

The F/V Northwestern, a western rigged boat, was constructed in 1977 at Marco Shipyards in Seattle, Washington for the sole purpose of fishing King and Tanner Crab off of the coast of Alaska. It was christened F/V Northwestern on 1977 November 5 by Snefryd Hansen, the wife of then-owner and captain Sverre Hansen.
