Fleet Development

Ocean Trawlers Ltd. is a family company, formed in 1999 after the parent company, Gallagher Bros. Ltd., purchased the Golden Rose fishing vessel from retiring skipper John Gallagher. The vessel was built in 1981 as a 90’ Refrigerated Seawater (RSW) vessel and was lengthened in 1987 to 124’ as the Irish fleet evolved with changing fishing patterns. The boat was now able to travel further and return with its catches to Killybegs without being restricted by poor weather.
