Why Choose AMS

AMS has supplied the Southern African fishing fleet since 1995 — built by an experienced AMS team who worked closely with trawlermen both ashore and at sea for years before AMS existed. That’s 12 dedicated product categories built from decades in the trawl-gear business, not a general marine chandlery with fishing gear as an afterthought.

Every category above is sourced through named, authorised relationships — Euronete and Oliveira partnerships are exclusive to AMS, alongside Kito Crosby and Green Pin shackles, The Blue Line hardware, Castro floats and buoys, and BMM (Markussens) blocks and hooks — so what you order is exactly what turns up on the quay, not an unbranded equivalent.

And AMS isn’t just supply — in-house splicing, socketing, spooling, non-destructive testing and custom trawl manufacturing mean the same partner that sells you the gear can also keep it running.
