national-fishermanThe January 2009 edition of National Fisherman magazine named Marport’s TrueTrawl® net geometry system as Best of Gear.

Marport’s TrueTrawl Net Geometry System is designed to check the geometry of the net so operators can react quickly changes in net dynamics.  Such corrective actions can improve catch quality and reduce risk of expensive net damage.

The system consists a Master Geometry sensor and up to four Slave Responders. The Master Geometry sensor is typically positioned on the headrope.  The responders are placed on each door and can be used in single rig, 2 warp twin rigs and 3 warp twin rigs (as shown below). The results from the measurements made by the system are transmitted by wireless acoustic signal to the vessel’s bridge display. The data is presented in an easy to read and understand 3D graphical format.
