Robert Desautel, President of Global Seas LLC says “The F/V Defender is an exceptional vessel and we are very fortunate to have the opportunity to add it to our fleet as it will allow us greater flexibility and efficiencies in our Alaska fishery operations. We are confident that very few changes will need to be made to the Defender’s operations.”
