For optimized solutions, operations and increased safety level

AquaSim is divers in its opportunities, it provides an easy-to-use interface for analysis of fishing equipment such as trawls, lines and trawl doors as well as innovative novel systems.

  • Validate structural integrity of vessel equipment for enhanced operational longevity and robustness.
  • Investigate trawl spread at forward velocities, including waves and currents.
  • Investigate layout and submergence. AquaSim can be applied in operational planning for e.g., weather windows to increase safety of equipment and personnel.
