Marco installs first purse-seine davit in Taiwan

Marco has built a POWERDAVIT SK-230 purse-seine davit for the vessel JIH YU No. 568, owned by Taiwan's Jih Yu Fishery Co Ltd. This davit is of a kind already used by customers such as Dongwon but is new to the Taiwanese market, where such equipment is not generally used.

It causes less cable wear than other davits. The fact that the cable runs perpendicular to the winch makes for longer lifetimes for all parts involved in the process. It is also safer because the cable is guided at both ends and in the middle. Furthermore, it is more ergonomic for the ring operator, as the power blocks are further apart.
