Well I don't have any idea, but know how some shrimpers are maybe the critical beer cooler for trip home.

Where did the model come from?

Looks like a Billings Boats model.. You could ask them what it is. Good opportunity to check out their customer service.

It is a Billings kit

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Is that an English or French vessel registration number? That might help identify what the item is.

According to the box dicription it’s a German boat

It's probably the shrimp boiler used to boil the shrimps as soon as they are caught to keep them fresh. In Arendal, Norway, there used to be a shrimper that sold shrimp straight off the boat as soon as it tied up in the harbour and I remember seeing something like that on board.
