Another fleet, with the factoryship Kakuyo Maru under the joint management of two other Japanese companies, consists of 3 catcher boats of about 70 tons and 8 utility boats of about 10 tons (to be carried on board). This fleet will also operate in the Eastern Bering Sea, Each mothership is the base of operations for the catcher, trawlers, and for the smaller craft (carried on davits) used to handle the tangle nets.
