82 Weza, anchor handling tug supply vessel, blt 1999 by Chantiers Piriou, owned by Sonasurf Ltd In June, the US fibre optics manufacturer Tyco Submarine Systems acquired Temasa, the maritime division of the Spanish telecommunications operator Telefonica, with its three cable laying vessels. Modern unit requirements are significant, both for maintenance and cable laying operations. Nonetheless, some analysts expect a weakening in demand from telecom operators in five years. Seismic vessels The slowdown that was anticipated last year did indeed occur, and many vessels were demobilised. Geko Prakla put its oldest units up for sale. It is less a question of selling them to competitors than it is of finding buyers that can use these ships in other market sectors. French market In the French market, large effort of investments of the Bourbon group’s maritime division materialised. Three new type UT 719/2 supply ships joined the fleet, the “Weza”, “Kiesse” and “Malila”, destined for use in Angola. Also, numerous tugs for the ports of Le Havre, Dunkerque, Marseilles, Abidjan and Mayotte were also delivered.
The fishing vessel market in 1999 Despite long years of BRS experience in this sector, especially in the shipbuilding component, a report on fishing has never yet been included in our yearly publication. It is important to emphasise the significant contribution of the fishing sector to the economic dimension of the French coast. It impacts jobs directly, through the fishing industry’s status as number one seafaring employer. It affects employment indirectly through the range of associated business activities including the processing and distribution of seafood products. Various crises within the sector in recent years, coupled with its heavily labour-intensive character render the industry fragile. The recent introduction of “GIE fiscaux” (Groupement d’Intérêt Economique: Commercial Interests Development Association) to fishing operations will enable renewed newbuilding to be launched. This measure will give many companies the opportunity to renew their fleets thus allowing them to resist strong European competition, especially Spanish, in a context of limited fishing quotas. We have decided to highlight two especially active and high added value sectors in terms of construction and fishing: tuna and toothfish. Tropical tuna: background and trends 1999 has been a banner year for world tropical tuna fishing, and was especially so in the Eastern Pacific region (ETP). The profound effects of “El Nino” on tuna fishing and prices in 1998 have now diminished and catches increased dramatically in 1999. By 15 November 1999, 572,000 s.t. (short tons) were harvested in the region, compared to 384,000 s.t. for the same period in 1998. This represents an increase of 50%.
