Ísfell is one of the leading companies in the design and manufacturing of shrimp trawls. The trawls are manufactured using the best available material and designed in close cooperation with the captains and the ship’s specifications regarding engine size and winch equipment. It is also important to keep the length and weight of the Rockhopper in mind when designing the trawl.
Shrimp trawls from Ísfell are used in Newfoundland, around Iceland, in the Barren Sea, and in Norway on Icelandic, Russian, German, Norwegian, Estonian, Lithuanian, Canadian ships, as well as ships from the Faeroe Islands.
When fishing shrimping, the mesh size can not go below 45 mm on the wings and 36 mm in the center. Ísfell offers “Ultra Cross” knotless Dyneema netting from Net Systems, which has proven to be very successful. For the belly it is usually 1.1 mm and the mesh size is 42-50 mm.
