The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) launched yesterday the first 62-footer fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tuna handline fishing boat aimed at capacitating small-scale fisherfolk by providing upgraded and appropriate vessels. The newly unveiled boat is part of the 33-unit contract with Pacificfortia Marine Technologies Inc., a local Philippine-registered boat manufacturer.
