The present invention provides a method for handling the content of a catch from a fishing boat comprising the steps of providing a sorting table having crate handling platforms and installing crates on these platforms. The method also has the step of replacing a full crate with an empty crate and placing the full crates on a crate handling frame which frame can be secured within vertical storage containers.

A drain assembly for a fluid tank having a drain hole therein may include a hollow first member to be coupled with the drain hole, where the hollow first member has at least one opening therein. The drain assembly may further include a hollow second member slidably coupled with the hollow first member and movable along a longitudinal axis of the hollow outer member between first and second positions. The hollow second member may be configured to seal the at least one opening in the hollow first member when in the first position to define an upper spillover level for fluid within the tank, and to unseal the at least one opening in the hollow first member when in the second position to define a lower spillover level for fluid within the tank below the upper spillover level.

The present invention relates to system for managing cargo tubs in a cargo hold of a vessel, such as a fishing vessel. The functional components of the present invention comprise means such as stacking devices for loading the cargo hold with tubs and forming stacks, rails and wagons and pushing and pulling structures as transport means for transporting the stack of tubs.

An apparatus includes a pipe tee with an inlet proximate a first valve, an outlet proximate a second valve, and an inlet-outlet. The inlet receives slush ice when the first valve is open and the second valve is closed. The outlet transmits fluid when the second valve is open and the first valve is closed. The inlet-outlet receives fluid when the second valve is open and the first valve is closed and transmits slush ice when the first valve is open and the second valve is closed. A second pipe tee has an inlet coupled to the outlet of the pipe tee that receives fluid when the second valve is open and the first valve is closed, a first outlet that transmits water, separated from the fluid, when the second valve is open and the first valve is closed, and a second outlet that transmits air, separated from the fluid, when the second valve is open and the first valve is closed.

The present invention provides a catamaran centralized-transportation fishing ship and a control method, which relate to the technical field of fishing of fishing ships. The catamaran centralized-transportation fishing ship has the fishing assembly and the concave chamber for centralized transportation of fish bodies, which can simultaneously have two functions of fishing and centralized transportation, and has a wide application range. Compared with existing fishing ships for fishing operations, the fishing ship can place the caught fish bodies in the concave chamber, so that the fish bodies can be in original water quality during a transfer process, and thus a survival rate of the fish bodies is increased. Meanwhile, setting of the limiting mechanism can prevent the fish bodies from escaping and increase a fishing amount of a single fishing operation.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a system for managing and securing cargo tubs in stacks in a cargo hold of a vessel, such as a fishing vessel. The functional components of the apparatus and system comprise means such as rails or transport lanes, wagons and pushing structures as transport means for securely managing stacks of tubs in the cargo hold both during sailing and off-loading.
