Maine gains fresh momentum as Bath builds three diesel trawlers for Forty-Fathom Fisheries and Vinal Haven’s huge fish plant expands. The Bath shipyard plans releasing the first vessel mid next month, with two more in September, at a cost near $600,000.

The Vinal Haven plant, now valued at about $500,000, employs 100 to 200 seasonally and provides a strong Maine market absorbing thousands of pounds weekly, sustaining industry growth despite foreign competition concerns.
