On July 15, two GFRP fishing boats were put into use at the octagne fishing port in yantai development zone. The captain of the fishing boat is 32.98 meters, with a displacement of more than 170 tons and a maximum power of 450 horsepower, which is the largest in the same type of fiberglass boats in the country.

Compared with traditional wooden and steel fishing boats, FRP boats have obvious advantages in energy conservation, environmental protection, maintenance and economical comfort. For this reason, the ministry of agriculture proposed the idea of replacing wooden fishing boats gradually with fiberglass fishing boats, and listed the standardization transformation of fishing boats as an important task of fishery work during the 12th five-year plan period. According to this deployment, zhuhai actively implemented shandong province's "standardization transformation project plan of fishing boats", and promoted energy-saving FRP fishing boats, so as to realize the modernization of fishing boats, save energy, improve fishing boats' technical performance and anti-risk capability, and realize the goal of increasing fishing boats' income.
