Morgère will be promoting its successful Exocet trawl door design at Fish Canada/Workboat Canada 2016 in Moncton, New Brunswick, on 22 and 23 January.

Since the launch of Exocet a year ago, the door has proved extremely popular with skippers in eastern Canada with 14 sets of doors ordered in 2015 alone and many other fishermen showing strong interest.

Canadian skippers have been attracted by the robustness and stability offered by the Exocet door, combined with reduced drag that benefits fuel consumption.  A key feature is the lower angle of attack compared with a standard door while maintaining the same spread.

In association with their Canadian agent North Atlantic Marine Supplies & Services (NAMSS), Morgère will be displaying a scale model of the Exocet at Fish Canada/Workboat Canada 2016 and explaining to skippers the key advantages offered by the door. Morgère’s PV3 trawl door has also proved very popular with Canadian fishermen in recent years.

Fish Canada/Workboat Canada is the nation’s largest commercial marine tradeshow and includes a diverse array of exhibitors. 

Michel Dagorn of Morgère said: “We have been delighted by the strong interest shown by Canadian skippers in Exocet, which has been reinforced by a good number of orders over the past year. The Exocet door seems to be ideally suited for demersal fisheries in Atlantic Canada. Exocet is versatile and can be used in a variety of different trawl configurations.”

Morgère and NAMSS will be exhibiting on stand number 531 at Fish Canada/Workboat Canada 2016. More information on the show at http://www.masterpromotions.ca/Previous-Events/fish-canada-workboat-canada-2016/
