A new fishing gear production and repair facility in the Danish port of Skagen is expected to be ready for use this summer as the new Cosmos Trawl net loft takes shape.
The 4800-square metre facility – with 330 square metres of office space – has a quayside location which offers the capacity to spool gear direct from fishing vessels into the production and repair hall. This is outfitted with six large net drums for handling pelagic fishing gear.
With an interior height of nine metres, the new Cosmos Trawl net loft is being outfitted with overhead blocks and cranes, all of which streamlines and optimises the production and repair of trawls, codends and other fishing gears.
‘The new netloft will be larger and better equipped than the old one in Skagen,’ said Cosmos Trawl CEO Michael Lassen, commenting that the inauguration of the new net loft marks a milestone for the company as it seeks to increase the scope and capacity of its activities.
‘This will provide advantages for our staff and for Cosmos Trawl, allowing us to handle larger trawls and improving efficiency in building new trawls and codends, supporting our growth strategy in Denmark.’
