Trawl Design
Demersal & Pelagic
Custom trawl design for demersal and pelagic operations. Deep-sea trawls are custom-made to meet the exacting demands of skippers and vessel management, designed by an AMS team that includes experienced ex-Skippers with years of trawl design and building experience behind them.
How We Deliver It
Design starts with your requirements — AMS’s ex-Skipper design team works through your vessel’s power and fishing objectives using ACRUX software, before handing over to Trawl Manufacturing to build.
Why AMS
AMS’s trawl designers aren’t building gear from a catalogue — the team includes experienced ex-Skippers, with years at sea before they turned to design. That experience, combined with AMS’s own ACRUX design software, means every trawl is built to meet your specific vessel and fishing operation, whether demersal or pelagic. Collectively, AMS’s ex-Skipper design team brings 60 years of trawl design and building experience to every project.
