Morgere has successful trial with oval trawl door

Some of trawl door manufacturer, Morgeres good customers have had the nostalgy of the eggshape Morgere Polyvalent doors the company designed some 40 years ago.

One of its customers has asked them to study the possibility to have an oval polyfoil after some model simulation work the company have tried at sea on board the norvegian trawler SKAREGG.

JOHAN SKJONG the skipper-owner said that the performance was as good as the classic with the oval form he like on very bad ground;the best confirmation was that he ordered a set for SKARROD the second vessel of the company.

Surface for surface the spread is nearly equivalent to the magic CLASSIC POLYFOIL, Morgere is giving the choice to the skippers to use the oval or the classic; the Polyfoil Oval is produced in different sizes and weights to fit the fleet requirement.

For those using the POLYVALENT OVAL its a real change:for instance the deepsea trawler DOGGER BANK from Nord Pecheries Boulogne has taken a set of 1700 KGS:he gets about 15 meter more distance between the doors than with the former Morgere set of Polyvalent but the most important tis that the doors are really stabile in bad weather.

“They are not moving in and out when the boat is on the top of a big wave that’ s give a trawl in better shape all the times and we avoid dammages too.”

The Polyfoil OVAL is produced in several sizes from 100 kgs to 8 tons and is rigged with TURBO SHOES.
