Nets

Professional applications

On entering the city of Urk, you will immediately notice the 22-meter high fishnet shaft.

The design of the shaft is unique for the Dutch fishery industry and offers fishermen great advantages.

The benefits of this fishnet shaft are:

-    The fishnet can be completely hung up over the fish stand.

-    All applications of the fishnet can be carried out efficiently.

-    The complete catch-ready fishnet can be immediately installed aboard the vessel.

The basis of a good fishnet is the right choice of material.  That is why VCU chooses quality – that means that Dutch and international suppliers must meet the highest requirements imposed on fishery netting.
