Ísfell is a leader in the design and installation of shrimp trawls. The trawls are developed from the best available material, designed in cooperation with the skipper and adjusted to the ship in question accordingly to engine size and the winches, which is according to the length and weight of the rockhopper chain. The shrimp trawls from Ísfell, are used in Newfoundland, in Icelandic waters, in Barents sea and on the coast of Norway by ships from Iceland, Russia, Germany, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Faroe Islands, and Canada.

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. The benefits of using this type of net are numerous: it allows the use of a larger trawl while still reducing fuel consumption, and the net also has a longer service life. For other parts of the trawls, all raw materials come from approved manufacturers known for their quality.

Ísfell also offers small fish sorters for shrimp trawls that aid in sorting the small fish from the big. More information regarding the sorter can be accessed here.
