The Osprey-class deep-sea trawler is Maritime Imperial's contribution to the Maltropian fishing industry, one of the largest in Paradoxia. It has proven to be one of the most common vessels used in blue water commercial fishing, with an unparalleled reliability and quality of design. Though having first entered into active production in 1964, the current incarnation of the Osprey bears little resemblance to the first of its line, having been continually refined based on the recommendations of our customers, people who know their trade and know what they need from a trawler. The Osprey is now, we can state with confidence, one of the finest vessels on the market.

At just under 73 metres length overall, the Osprey is built for commercial fishing, with a cargo hold large enough to hold as much as three hundred tonnes of fish. On-board freezing facilities allow the vessel to remain at sea for longer periods to take full advantage of this capacity. Processing equipment is not a component of the ship's design, however, requiring it to offload cargo to facilitate processing of its catch. A shipboard crane, located aft, allows easier offloading of the cargo onto adjacent wharves. An additional crane is located in the bows.

Most of the vessel's machinery is located in the hull aft, leaving the bow for crew quarters and other living spaces. The Osprey is equipped with cutting-edge technology for use in the fishing industry, including sonar and radar, also boasting powerful winches for hauling in its nets.

At Maritime Imperial, we appreciate the importance of keeping transit times low to allow quotas to be reached quickly and efficiently. Therefore, the Osprey has been outfitted by an Enmar Industries DN-25 diesel engine, giving a steady and reliable source of power and providing the vessel with a top speed of 20 knots. The recommended crew size for maximum efficiency is 18, though the vessel remains operable with fewer.

Under Maltropian maritime law, we are obliged to conform with WA GAR #20, Suppress International Piracy. For this purpose, the Osprey comes equipped with a weapons locker, located in the wheelhouse, for defensive purposes, to deter pirates or other attackers. The standard purchase model of the Osprey comes with cutting-edge navigational equipment, including sonar and radar, and with all the paraphernalia obliged by its role in the fishing industry. Purchase cost, as standard, is 10 million NSD.
