Hello, I own a fishing vessel left to me as an inheritance by my late grand father but I don't know anything about vessels or fishes. Can you tell me something about these?
Well fishing vessels are usually just small boats designed for sea or river use to catch fish or other crustaceans 
Amazing, what level of skill do i need to start out? Do you think I should hire people to help me out?
Depends, many are for simple recreational use while some larger and more complex ones are for commercial use for catching and selling fish
I think to sell the fishes I catch. The vessel is fairly big. It will be a waste to use it for recreational purposes
majority of which were undecked, and those small vessels dominated in all regions. Conversely, the largest vessels, classified as those with LOA greater than 24 m made up about 2 percent of the total fleet.
About 1.3 million of these are decked vessels with enclosed areas. Nearly all of these decked vessels are mechanised, and 40,000 of them are over 100 tons. At the other extreme, two-thirds (1.8 million) of the undecked boats are traditional craft of various types, powered only by sail and oars
following classification follows the FAO, who classify commercial fishing vessels by the gear they use.
Commercial vessels Trawlers.
A trawler is a fishing vessel designed to use trawl nets in order to catch large volumes of fish.
- Outrigger trawlers – use outriggers to tow the trawl. These are commonly used to catch shrimp. One or two otter trawls can be towed from each side. Beam trawlers, employed in the North sea for catching flatfish, are another form of outrigger trawler. Medium-sized and high powered vessels
