New Whaly 455 Workboat Arrives in Ireland at O’Sullivan's Marine

O’Sullivan’s Marine has just received a new consignment of Whaly boats - including the eagerly anticipated Whaly 455 – the first to arrive in Ireland!

Like the Whaly 435 and 500, the Whaly 455 is available in the standard version (455) and a professional version (455R). Whaly boats are incredibly robust, double-walled boats, manufactured in one piece from high-grade rotomoulded Polyethylene. The professional versions have extra strength with an added PE foam layer on the inside and are the preferred choice for professional use as workboats or for rescue operations. The new model has a big inner space and like the Whaly 500 features a drop-down bow.

"These high-quality stable boats are almost unsinkable and indestructible"

“Whaly boats are extremely popular with our customers, whether it is for recreational or professional use, these high quality, stable boats are almost unsinkable and indestructible. With the large range of optional extras, we can offer the expertise to build a boat package that is tailored to our customer’s unique requirements.”

As Afloat reported previously here, O'Sullivan's Marine based in Tralee in County Kerry delivered five Whaly 500R boats to Inland Fisheries in March 2019.

About the Loughs Agency

The Loughs Agency is a governmental body established under the 1998 Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of Ireland. The Agency's goal is to provide sustainable social, economic, and environmental benefits by effectively conserving, managing, promoting, and developing the fisheries and marine resources of the Foyle and Carlingford areas.

The Agency's governing legislation confers several specific functions, including the promotion of development of Lough Foyle and Carlingford Lough for commercial and recreational purposes in respect of marine, fishery, and aquaculture matters. Moreover, the Agency is responsible for managing, conserving, protecting, improving, and developing the inland fisheries of the Foyle and Carlingford areas. Additionally, the Agency has the task of developing and licensing aquaculture, as well as the development of marine tourism.

The Loughs Agency reports to the North South Ministerial Council and its government Sponsor Departments, the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) in Northern Ireland, and the Department of the Environment, Climate, and Communications (DECC) in Ireland. The Departments fund the Agency on an equal basis.

The Loughs Agency's focus on sustainable development is expected to have a positive impact on the economy, environment, and local communities in the Foyle and Carlingford areas. The Agency's efforts to conserve and enhance the region's marine resources, including fisheries and aquaculture, are expected to benefit local communities, promote tourism, and contribute to economic growth.

In conclusion, the Loughs Agency plays a vital role in promoting the sustainable social, economic, and environmental development of the Foyle and Carlingford areas. Its work on marine conservation and development is crucial in ensuring the long-term viability of the region's natural resources and in promoting sustainable economic growth.
