The fishing vessel, AQVIQ, operated by Ocean Choice International, needed a fast, Class-approved and non-intrusive renewal of its trawl deck to ensure it was fully operational just in time for the fishing season!

The AQVIQ vessel was alongside in Glovertown, Newfoundland, while the SPS deck renewal was carried out. Our Network Partner, Marine Offshore Management (MOM), led the project, overseeing the SPS injection process and management of the steel crew. The use of SPS allowed for rapid and permanent reinstatement of this vessel’s trawl deck.

Trawl Deck Renewal with SPS

  • SPS restored the deck’s structural integrity, reinforcing it against the changeable conditions of harsh seas during fishing.
  • SPS eliminated the need for extensive steel replacement, which reduced downtime and ensured the AQVIQ vessel was back in service on time!
  • SPS’s non-intrusive application process made for smooth repairs that did not interfere with the vessel’s internal structures.
  • This SPS repair solution met all necessary Class-approvals and ensured the vessel’s compliance with safety and industry standards.

”Our most recent deck renewal project onboard one of our Factory Freezer Trawlers was a tremendous success. Working with MOM/SPS on this project was effortless from all aspects including planning, oversight and execution. The staff were both competent and courteous and a pleasure to work with. We are most certainly pleased with the results and would definitely consider MOM/SPS for future projects.
