At about 100 meters long, Beagle F I is the largest fishing vessel on the Falkland register. At a tenth of the size, Mallagar is the smallest fishing vessel!

There’s a benefit to an early start and late finish! Sunrise over Stanley Harbour and fabulous evening light out on the water … one is the Boss Man’s happy place … the other less so!

We wish you an enjoyable and safe expedition :)

The Welsh-Scottish-Catalan-American Salvesen Range Expedition aboard ready to sail from Stanley two days ago.

We’re delighted to see our first charter yacht client of the season back in Stanley ready to kick off their season. Welcome back 🇫🇰🇬🇸🇦🇶🌊!

P.S. some sun and blue skies would have been nice but here’s hoping the weather plays ball over the coming months.

We’ve been quiet on here but there is still work going on … currently Martech are supporting the pontoon upgrades at the Public Jetty by providing a work platform.

Dean has been at the helm while Paul is in Punta Arenas coaching and assisting the Falkland Islands ice hockey teams competing in the Southern Winter Cup.

Today the team and Mallagar have been hard at work on a clearance operation out in Camp for a client.

A bit of a soggy (with seal 💩 to boot) operation lifting the Public Jetty pontoons out for winter maintenance/ replacement and to allow the improvement works (sic) to take place.

Paul used the calm morning to take the boat down the coast to Fitzroy in preparation for a combination of 🦀 fishing and supporting a clean up operation there.

12/04/2024

Overnight Paul and Dean have been working the new SAAS cargo boat UniSpirit - driving a lorry and landing containers respectively. Every day’s (and night) different!

The week started off with removing the pipe from the Moody Brook water pump from the harbour. Mallagar proved her worth towing 400m of pipe up the harbour.

And for all our 🦀 customers … we’ll be back next week!

07/04/2024

On Wednesday Martech was deployed with Mallagar to use the RoV to survey the seabed prior to the grounded re**er being refloated. Unfortunately the viz was not very good.

There’s regular work to fit in between crabbing though … earlier this week it was lifting the supply pump for the now closed fish farm at Moody Brook out of the harbour.

27/03/2024

Exciting! Licence issued and first crab in the pot … Paul’s new venture has become a reality. Much science and experimentation ahead but do keep an eye out for fresh crab availability soon(ish) 🦀🛥️🇫🇰

It was a family affair sorting cargo yesterday 🤩

19/03/2024

Fabulous to see the jetties full of yachts/clients/friends. Anyone would think there was call for a marina 🤦‍♀️

08/03/2024

The Martech team have been busy moving containers, sorting cargo and all sorts of small jobs as well as catching up on admin over the last week or so. But today, in thick mist, it was back to boat work to get yacht Kotick alongside with the help of Jason, Dylan and Marilou on the Beagle.
