Scampi vessels are about 25 metres long and have a crew of 5 to 6 persons. They spend up to a month at sea fishing the waters as far south as the Auckland Islands (55 degrees South), in waters of up to 600 metres in depth. They catch Scampi which is processed and packaged ready on board for export largely to Japan and Europe. Simunovich Fisheries operates 5 full time Scampi vessels, Albatross II, Mutual Enterprise, Christmas Creek, Enemelay and Drysdale and a larger (40 metre) vessel, the Petersen, which also operates in other fisheries.
