<li>adequate speed to reach far away fishing grounds,</li>
<li>enough endurance to conduct continued fishing in distant oceans,</li>
<li>facility for very efficient freezing storage to keep the highly valued catch,</li>
<li>suitable machineries to shoot and haul up longlines quickly and proper storage facilities for keeping the fishing gears and accessories.</li>

<fi:Text><![CDATA[The wheelhouse can be situated aft or forward, but on larger vessels the bridge is generally placed aft. In typical arrangements the gear is hauled from the bow or from the side with a mechanical or hydraulic line hauler and the lines are set over the stern. To avoid incidental catches of seabirds outboard setting funnel are installed on longliners. This funnel guides the line from the setting position on the stern down to 1-2 m depth.]]></fi:Text>
