Rhyme of the Copper Mariner (1265)
Actual four-year operating experience with the CA-706 copper-nickel alloy hull of a shrimp trawler has shown it to be a good business investment. Copper-nickel alloy was selected because of its corrosion resistance and biofouling resistance when operating in seawater. Details of the design and construction of the Copper Mariner are given along with an economic analysis showing fuel savings, maintenance savings and increased availability for fishing derived from using this material.
