Skipper Expo Int. Aberdeen 2016 sees the return of Morgère where they will be promoting two new innovative fishing gear systems ideally suited for Scottish fisheries.

The new Exocet trawl door has been specially developed to meet the operational requirements of skippers fishing in the north-east Atlantic.

Skippers already using Exocet have been impressed by the robustness and stability offered by the trawl 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.

For pair teams, Morgère has also developed an innovative new monitoring system called Cyclops that enables pair trawlers to optimise the size of the trawl opening. The system gives skippers the ability to monitor and control the size of the pair trawl opening as well as helping ensure the desired depth of the fishing gear.

Michel Dagorn of Morgère said: “We are really looking forward to meeting fishermen at Skipper Expo Aberdeen Int. 2016. Morgère has strong links with the Scottish fishing industry that have been developed over many years of working closely together.

“With our new Exocet trawl door and the Cyclops pair trawl system, we are bringing new technology to optimise fishing performance.”
