Scottish Fishermen 3 Major Preferences

Lunar Fishing, a Scottish fishing company operating in the North Sea and the Atlantic, relies on custom-built boats from Danish Karstensens Shipyard and CP-propulsion equipment, propellers, and thrusters from Danish Hundested Propeller for their fishing operations. The harsh weather conditions and challenging seas demand robust and high-quality equipment to ensure the safety and efficiency of their fishing vessels.  Lunar Fishing has four custom-built boats, with two of them equipped with CP Marine Gear, propellers, and thrusters from Hundested Propeller. According to fisherman Philip Stephen, the choice of equipment is essential due to the demanding conditions they face at sea. The vessels must withstand significant stress and tension, especially during adverse weather conditions. The fishermen need to have full confidence in their boats, and reliable equipment plays a crucial role in their operations. >click to read< 20:39

Ocean Fisheries Ltd: Propspeed foul-release coatings has now become a must-do job at all haul outs.

Propspeed, leading innovator of underwater foul-release coatings, announced today it has been selected by Ocean Fisheries Ltd. as the preferred foul-release coating for its fleet of commercial fishing vessels.  “Application of Propspeed has now become a must-do job at all haul outs. In addition, we historically had issues with weed growth on the keel coolers for the main and auxiliary engines, ice maker, hydraulics and echo sounder transducers. After a discussion with Propspeed we applied the product to the echo sounders and keel coolers at our most recent 2020 haul outs and we expect the same lack of growth to occur. We would have no hesitation in recommending other trawl vessel owners apply Propspeed because it severely inhibits weed and marine growth. >click to read< 10:15
