Material Research & Development
Yarn-on-Yarn test
Abrasion resistance test
Breakage strength test
Because each manufacturer has their own product specification during Akvaservis independent rope test, several variables are considered such as:
- Rope diameter,
- Weight per meter,
- Quality of fibre,
- Quality of rope impregnation,
- Expected minimum as per manufactures specification and maximum actual achieved breaking strength,
- Rope elongation and elasticity.
Rope shinkage test
Chemical reaction test
Gear Research & Development
Trawl simulator
AKVASERVIS use Computer-aided design (CAD) and trawl simulators to assist in early process of gear design creation, modification, overall estimated performance analysis and optimization of gear design prior any physical construction.

Flume Tank
AKVASERVIS often use scale-models to perform gear tests. Tests are carried out in the North Sea Centre in Hirtshals, Denmark (operated by the Norwegian Institute SINTEF).
Flume tank test enhanced understanding of trawl performance in practice, both from a gear-engineering and a vessel-management point of view. AKVASERVIS clients have solid understanding of their actual gear performance. They also have practical information in areas such as catch efficiency, fuel consumption, bottom impact, target species and size selectivity.
At the facility alterations to the gear and its impact to other areas of the gear can be easily studied. Also, the flume tank test support further gear development.

Underwater Video Recording
AKVASERVIS often makes use of underwater video cameras to transmit trawl images during actual fishing process. Rather than simply observe the trawl in artificial flume tank, realistic video contributes to the better understanding and assessment of trawl performance which then leads to further gear development.
Real practice tested products
AKVASERVIS uses its existing long term clients to test trawls in different types of seas catching various fishes with different vessels sizes. Only after practical gear approval and feedback we recommend and promote our trawls to other/new clients.
Patented products
AKVASERVIS protects its most valuable inventions through the European and Russian Patent Office.
