The French stern trawler 'Sandettie' underwent an extensive conversion by the Dutch shipyard Reimerswaal to upgrade its fish processing and catching equipment to comply with latest technology. The conversion took six months and included renewing the fish processing, freezing, and packing equipment; upgrading the catching equipment; adding a crane; upgrading tanks; and extending accommodations. Engineering drawings and support was provided by Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam. After conversion, sea trials were completed successfully.
