Aquaculture equipment
for high energy sites

The extreme environment in the Faroe Islands and Northern Norway has pushed the development of fish farming equipment. Hostile weather, strong currents, high waves and fierce frost present equipment with some severe challenges.

Earlier this week Gøtunes discharged 3530 tonnes of Blue Whiting to Havsbrún in Fuglafjørður. This is the most that a vessel ever has brought to Havbrún. Gøtunes is using the 2600 Vónin Gannet trawl in their Blue Whiting fishery. They are now back on the fishing field south of the Faroe Islands. #Gøtunes #Vónin #2600trawl #VóninGannet #Fuglafjørður #Bluewhiting #pelagictrawl #largestlanding

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 When new Icelandic trawler Börkur was delivered last year, the choice of doors went to a pair of Vónin’s Twisters. We spoke to skipper Hjörvar Hjálmarsson to get his feedback on how these doors have performed. “I am highly satisfied. We have been in all types of fishery – capelin, herring, mackerel and blue whiting since we got the Twister trawl doors. Each fishery has its own challenges, but the Twister trawl doors have not disappointed and have performed very well on every occasion,” he said. “For example, fishing for fast-swimming mackerel when you have to chase and turn a lot to hit the marks it was very easy to keep the trawl doors right at the surface.
“And before going for capelin we were very exited on how the Twister trawl doors would work because it often can be a challenge to get trawl doors to work at slow towing speeds high in the water. But we saw immediately that the trawl doors were working perfectly. We were even getting 30% more spread close to the surface compared to the other pelagic trawlers. “One thing that demonstrates how powerful these trawl doors are is when we got our biggest haul so far with the new Börkur. This was a 900 tonne tow and the trawl doors were almost not affected,” Hjörvar Hjálmarsson said. “To get the trawl doors to seek up or down, we just adjust the upper and lower shutters. These are very powerful, strong doors – these are the best trawl doors#commercialfishing Read more about the Twister trawl doors:

Before heading for the Barents Sea for cod fishing the greenlandic trawler Sisimiut took onboard fishing gear from Vónin. They will be using the Bacalao 740 and Bacalao 630 together with a pair of 10m2 Storm trawl doors. #vónin #sisimiut #trawler #fishingtrawler #trawldoors #commercialfishing

Melkart 6 (ex Vesturleiki) which now is based in Murmansk got 2 new Bacalao 400 # trawls, rockhoppers, grids and cod ends etc before leaving the Faroe Islands on the way to the Barents Sea. We wish the crew good fishing and good luck #vónin #melkart6 #trawls #trawler #commercialfishing

Vónin gear package for new Nataarnaq New shrimp trawler Nataarnaq, docked in Nuuk for the first time at the end of last year after the delivery trip from the Murueta Shipyard in Spain. The latest in a series of sophisticated freezer shrimp trawlers designed by Norwegian company Skipsteknisk, Nataarnaq has four electrical permanent magnet trawl winches allowing it to tow three trawls. There is a 3400-mesh Vónin 2014 shrimp trawl in each of the four trawl lanes – three in use, plus a spare. The Vónin 2014 design is a three-wingtip trawl, which distributes the tension along the selvedges, providing better headline height as well as stability during the tow to result in higher catch rates. The four trawls were supplied rigged onto rockhopper footropes and the gear is spread with a 16 square metre pair of Vónin Storm trawl doors. Vónin also supplied Nataarnaq with codends, sorting grids and a comprehensive inventory of spares parts for the trawl gear. Vónin would like to congratulate owners, skippers and crew members with this magnificent vessel. #vónin #natarnaaq #royalgreenland #shrimptrawler #commercialfishing #newtrawler

The faroese pair trawler Bakur is getting their second Zenith 640 bottom trawl. They have been very happy with their trawl and has the skipper also expressed that his personal best tow ever was with the Zenith trawl. Even though the Zenith trawl has more or less the same number of meshes in the fishing circle compared to their previous trawl, it has a much larger fishing area. Bakur is pair trawling with Stelkur.
