Hydrodynamic technology for better fishing

COMPANY PROFILE In the spring of 1934, in the middle of the Great Depression, thirteen individuals gathered a small fortune to start up an industrial venture in Reykjavík, to manufacture fishing nets, ropes and fishing long lines for the local fishing fleet. The founders named their new company HAMPIDJAN. S ​ ince then Hampidjan has become the world leader in making and servicing quality fishing gear for trawlers and purse seiners. We operate several fishing gear entities around the world with a central manufacturing facility producing ropes, netting and trawls in Lithuania. Our brand names for...

Horizontal Opening 1.3 times the Vertical Opening The High Opening GLORIA Midwater trawl was originally made to fish redfish in the Irminger Sea south-west of Iceland. The GLORIA trawl has been steadily developed through the years and is still one of Hampidjan’s most successful nets. It can be manufactured in various materials like the well known PEPA and NYLEX ropes. Now the HELIX selfspreading rope has become the most popular rope, bringing cutting edge technology to the GLORIA trawl. The GLORIA trawl is still the biggest trawl successfully ever made and operated. The trawl has been extremely...

Gloria High Speed is a midwater trawl and as the name indicates, it was originally made for fishing species such as mackerel that are best caught at a high towing speeds. This design is specially good when fishing on the surface but has also proven to be effective when fishing on bottom. This gives the trawl an edge when herding fish at high speeds. It has been used for hake on the bottom with good results on lower speed and has also showed excellent results on herring. Various material GLORIA* High Speed For Pelagic species 400 * Opening: 18 *Depending on ocean current, fishing depth, trawling...

For faster swimming pelagic species Gloria XW is based on the design of Gloria HS. It is designed for fishing species such as mackerel that is best caught at a high towing speed. This design is specially good when fishing on the surface. This version has less vertical opening but more horizontal opening. The reason for designing trawl with less opening is to get cleaner catch from mackerel. Herring often lies below the mackerel and less opening reduces catches of herring if people are only targeting the mackerel. Then there is extra with so the hearding area is wider. The width is threefold at...

The Wide Body trawl has brought new levels of performance to midwater fishing operations. The basic concept behind the Gloria Wide Body trawl is to target fish close to the bottom, such as Alaska pollock, herring, mackerel and hake. It has been designed for a maximum horizontal opening, allowing the skipper to take a slice of the bottom of a shoal, and avoiding the smaller fish which tend to swim at the top. Compared with the typical midwater trawl’s horizontal opening of between 20 and 40% greater than its vertical opening, the Gloria Wide Body trawl opens three times as wide as it is high. GLORIA*...

The Long Wing Gloria was first introduced to the Bering Sea Fisheries in 2001. It has proven to be very effective and economical in both use and maintenance. The long wings have added an increased size to a relatively small trawl, while maintaining that small trawl ease of towing. The fact that an 1120 Wide Body Gloria has been replaced by the 672 Long Wing Gloria, clearly indicates this. As fuel prices sky rocket, fuel savings become increasingly important. Due to its relatively small size, the trawl is easy for the crew to handle on deck. The trawl is based the on the well-known Wide Body Gloria...

The Semi Wide Gloria is the classic mid-water trawl in the Gloria family. It is a slow tapered 2 by 1 shape trawl made to be very efficient in either shallow and deep water and to carry big bags without collapsing. This is an easy trawl to handle and both hauling and shooting. The trawl is relatively light to tow, which makes turning and hauling easy. The trawl is used for fishing blue whiting, herring, mackerel and capelin in the North Atlantic and hake and pollock off the US west coast. The trawl has been very successful and is made from Helix ropes, but is also available from both PEPA and NYLEX....

The Gloria 2SW based on the design of Gloria SW. Gloria 2SW is used for fishing herring, blue whiting and This trawl is designed specially for fishing with two ships. mackerel. The basic structure is similiar to the Gloria SW but the wings are different and also stronger ropes in the front part of the trawl. Various material types Helix PE/PA Nylex Tons per warp at 3.0 knots: 12 14 16 ton Preferred bridle length: 80+100 80+120 80+140 m *Depending on ocean current, fishing depth, trawling speed, wingend sinkers, headline cable and etc. Suitable for a wide variety...

Ramping codends For different species For Midwater and Bottom trawls We have wide range of codends that is hauled up the ramp of the ships to the deck for processing. We produce every meshsize needed for different species. Lately we have been producing more four panel codends for hauling up the ramp since it goes more easy on the fish. Then we use DynIce lines that are shorter than the netting so all the load will go on the lines instead of netting. To ensure still more quality of fish going up the ramp weproduce codends with T90 netting. T90 means that the netting is turned 90° from the usual...
