UFI NA TASI

Post by aukepalmhof » Wed Feb 22, 2017 7:44 pm

Transportation of fish products is largely by water in the Solomon Islands and one of the vessels used in this transport is the UFI NA TASI which is owned by the Solomon Island Government and she was acquired by the Solomon Government under Japanese Aid.
So most probably she is built in Japan, not a yard and when built is given but I can find her in 1979 in Solomon Island Government papers.
She has a length of 21.7 metre, and is powered by a 200hp diesel engine and has three insulated holds with a total capacity of 25.3 m³. The holds temperature can be kept on -25 C.
Between 1979 and 1980 was she chartered by STACO Ltd. and used for the fish collection service around the islands, but the charter was terminated in the end of 1980 due to economic factors and mechanical problems.
The Department of Fisheries in the Solomon Islands operated then the vessel which was used for the transport of frozen fish, sometimes used for charter work.
1985 She was laid up due to major engine trouble.
After cyclone Namu passed the Solomon Islands in May 1986 she was used for relief work from 23 May 1986 till 16 June 1986 around the islands.
After this date the vessel is not more mentioned in any document.
Fate unknown
