Seeking an alternative and sustainable trawl Lighter doors, more efficient doors

Why Pelagic doors for bottom trawlers?

SEA HAWK MODEL

Sea Hawk doors are the most modern and innovative model from Mori Carlo, an Italian manufacturer with over 80 years and 4 generations of experience in the sector. They are an international leader in producing efficient and sustainable equipment.

At Trawl Motion, we are committed to this alternative and sustainable trawling system, based on the use of lighter and hydrodynamic doors that do not make contact with the seabed, without requiring any other modifications on the fishing gear (harness, sweeps, and net).

There are many advantages to this approach:

Reduced ecological impact
Decreased fuel consumption and lower carbon footprint
Extended lifespan of winches, motors, and trawl cables
50% weight reduction compared to conventional doors
Stable opening during fishing operations
Reduced maintenance on the hull

The elimination of the friction and resistance of the doors with the seabed contributes to better conservation of the marine environment and the sustainability of the natural ecosystem, aligning with the priorities set by the EU.

The Sea Hawk doors are supplied with a detachable spoiler and the option of a window to reduce the surface area of the door.

Semipelagic doors - Panther

Panther doors are adaptable to all types of fishing, from shallow-water fishing with semipelagic gear at 4.2 knots to deep-sea fishing for red shrimp at 450 fathoms and trawling at speeds below 2 knots. They even perform well in the Irish seas when used on double-net vessels.

Fuel saving thanks to a 25% reduction in the effective surface area of the door.
They feature three-shot footropes that enhance stability and correct the angle before the door drops.

Trawl doors - Rhyno High Power

Rhyno High Power is a model designed for fishing in rocky bottoms but also performs well in muddy terrains.

It is extremely robust and highly resistant, with reinforcements at critical breaking points.
It can handle various types of work, from shallow waters at high speeds to great depths (>400 fathoms) at low speeds.
It is supplied with detachable keels and spare parts.

Trawl doors - C19

The C19 model is designed for fishing in muddy and clean bottoms.

It delivers optimal performance from 30 fathoms and at speeds ranging from 1.8 to 3.2 knots.
Perfect for double, triple, and quadruple net configurations, and particularly suitable for langoustine fishery.
Supplied with a spoiler and detachable keels.
The spoiler increases the surface area of the door without increasing the angle of attack, while maintaining very low fuel consumption.
