Small fishing vessels for coastal fishing are one of the most important areas of Sea Tech design. The MRT19 project is the result of the development of the MPT-K Rossbel trawler built in 2001 at the Chkalovskaya shipyard (rus).

The chief designer of the project is A. Bondarenko about the vessel:

"MPT-K is a 15-meter vessel, which was conceived as an alternative to small fishing boats of the BMP type. New domestic equipment was developed for the MPT-K project: an anchor winch, a steering machine, a trawl winch, a switchboard for signal lights, a fire and emergency alarm system. Due to its small size, the complexity of designing the MPT-K exceeded the complexity and labor intensity of designing a "regular" (30-50 m) fishing vessel.

In the spring of 2002, the MRT-K trawler set out on its first fishing voyages. During the tests near Gelendzhik, we were able to compare the MRT-K with other fishing vessels and hear the opinions of fishermen. Despite its tiny size, the MRT-K could operate in any weather and still observe the fish and trawl thanks to a wireless probe coupled with a fishing echo sounder."
