Chantier Naval Forillon Launches Steel Fishing Vessels
Autoship Systems is pleased to announce that Chantier Naval Forillon of Gaspé, Québec has recently launched a series of new steel fishing vessels to satisfy increasing demand from their clients. As their chief designer points out below, the combination of using Autoship Pro and Autohydro Pro has been critical to their new found productivity.

“Chantier Naval Forillon of Gaspé, Québec has been an Autoship and Autohydro user since 2001. When we bought the system we depended upon technical support to get up and running and always received timely and valuable responses from Autoship's Tech Support Department. We also received training from their Manager of Customer Services, Bradley Dale, that helped us with the finer points of using Autoship. Our shipyard has recently launched the Marc- Olivier, Ocean Swell, Master Mariner, Sarah Pierre, and Southern Mariner using Autoship and Autohydro. If we had relied on our older design methods, we would have been seriously behind on our schedule for all these projects. We found several key functions in Autoship to be very valuable to use in the design process of our fishing vessels, including the ability of creating flattenned shapes of the developable surfaces, and trimming operations between the hull and the deck. Autoship is a very important tool for our shipyard.”
