Stemat Spirit

-
Northern Eagle
She’s an all-in-one mega fishing trawler and factory. Northern Eagle can catch and package fish at the same time. She creates more profit because she doesn’t waste time (and fuel) bringing her catch back to shore to be processed. In fact, once she’s out to sea, Northern Eagle doesn’t return to port until her hold is full of 1500 tonnes of frozen, packaged product ready for market.

USNS Grasp
She’s the “Swiss Army Knife” of the US Navy. Recovery of downed aircraft, towing of sunken vessels, or clearing of debris to reopen a harbor in the wake of a natural disaster… USNS Grasp has done it all. Her cranes enable deep-sea salvage of all sorts. But what makes her special is her ability to support a team of up to 14 Navy divers on dangerous mixed-gas descents to depths of more than 200 metres. She’s one of only four vessels in the entire US fleet capable of doing so.
