Piriou delivers 16m scallop trawler to French owner

Baird Maritime

Piriou has delivered a newbuild trawler to French fisherman Jean-Baptiste Marion.

Named Telemaque, the Coprexma-designed vessel will be used for scallop fishing and trawling. It was ordered in July 2018 to replace an earlier similarly named vessel which has been in the owner's fleet for 14 years.

The newer Telemaque has an LOA of 15.95 metres, a beam of 7.2 metres, a crew of six, and one Cummins KTA19 engine.
