For many years the market for fully mechanical longline systems has been dominated by one company. In the past, Mørenot has reliably delivered system parts like haulers, LineTech control units, rollers, and magazines to fishers around the globe. But now Mørenot is challenging the idea of traditional hydraulic longline system with its first fully electric longline system for both deep sea and coastal fisheries. Seeing the opportunity of a fully electrical system, Mørenot has heavily invested in innovation that enables fishers to effortlessly achieve higher efficiency, lower energy consumption, and better working conditions. Mørenot’s VP Alf Rune Ose explains how their engineers in Iceland developed the complete mechanical system with an updated LineTech longline control system to revolutionize the fishing industry.
