SafetyNet Technologies has entered into a strategic partnership with Hampidjan Canada Ltd. As the latest distributor of SafetyNet’s CatchCam underwater camera, Hampidjan is set to bring innovation to the forefront of the Canadian fishing industry.
The CatchCam had its Canadian launch at last year’s North Atlantic Fish & Workboat Show. This collaboration introduces Safet Net’s precision fishing technologies to Canadian fishermen, and it represents a partnership between two companies with shared values in terms of sustainable fisheries and aiming to mitigate the environmental impact of commercial fishing on the marine environment.
‘Hampidjan Canada is actively engaged with the local industry and champions sustainable and efficient fishing practices. Their close relationship with the fishing community is important to us. Our products have been designed with fishermen and for fishermen and working with Hampidjan will help us to build on this with new customers in Canada,’ said Safety Net’s Tom Rossiter.
Based in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, Hampidjan Canada is an integral part of the local fishing industry. Specialised in providing reliable equipment for commercial fishermen, their position makes them ideal distributors for CatchCam in the Canadian market.
‘Hampidjan Canada has always been a strong advocate for using technology to fish smarter not harder. Partnering with CatchCam is an obvious choice for our company as it allows us to introduce a new technology to the local fishing industry that can produce immediate gains in terms of efficiency and sustainbility,’ said Kelly Moret at Hampidjan Canada.
CatchCam stands out as a robust underwater video camera for commercial fishing, featuring a battery life exceeding four days, complete wireless operation, and fishing-specific settings. Its latest version can be deployed at depths of up to 800 metres and comes paired with a 500 lumens lamp. The CatchCam package makes it easy for commercial fishermen to film their fishing gear in action, ensuring that any issues are identified and quickly corrected where needed.
