Description:
The catcher/processor F/V Alaskan Leader is a 150 ft. freezer longliner built in 1991. This vessel was designed specifically to longline groundfish and process onboard. Alaskan Leader has been one of the top producers in the Bering Sea since its maiden voyage in 1991 and is also the 2nd largest longliner built in the U.S. with its sister ship the F/V Bristol Leader being the largest.

In 2006 the Alaskan Leader underwent a major retrofit to accommodate the new Mustad Autobaiter.
