Trawl Manufacturing
Demersal
Custom demersal and pelagic trawl nets, built to your vessel and target species. AMS designs every trawl using our own ACRUX software, in consultation with the skipper and vessel managers, and builds using modern high-tenacity material from Euronete — from the smallest to the largest deep-sea trawlers working in South African and Namibian waters.
Demersal Trawls
For low-lift, good ground-contact demersal trawls, AMS builds gear matched to the vessel’s power and trawl objectives — proven, trusted designs built for the ground your vessel works. Demersal trawls target fish shoaling close to the seabed, with a typical vertical mouth opening of 3 to 5 metres.
How We Deliver It
Every trawl starts with consultation — AMS works directly with the skipper and vessel managers to match the trawl to vessel power and trawl objectives, using our own ACRUX design software, before building using high-tenacity Euronete material.
Why AMS
AMS designs and builds using our own ACRUX software and Euronete’s high-tenacity material — trawls that run on vessels of every size across South African and Namibian waters. For the design story behind every trawl, see Trawl Design.
