Aquaculture
With over 50 years’ asset monitoring experience in challenging offshore environments, James Fisher Strainstall is a proven partner for the design and implementation of bespoke load and asset monitoring solutions in the aquaculture industry.
As the sector develops larger enclosures or locates further offshore to address the industry's current challenges, it has become increasingly important to monitor heightened mooring loads in energetic waters. Drawing on the team’s experience in protecting high-value assets for the oil and gas and renewables markets, James Fisher Strainstall delivers hardware, software, and instrumentation solutions to measure load in real time. These are custom-made to enable the early identification of possible mooring line failures, protecting your valuable fish assets from the risk of costly incidents.
Aquanode
Our Aquaculture Mooring Monitoring System (AMMS) seamlessly integrates load monitoring technology to provide alerts of extreme loads on your mooring lines, caused by adverse sea conditions.
Load shackles
Precision engineered and highly accurate, our load shackles include a stainless-steel pin and an innovative load bobbin design, with a robust anti-rotation bracket to ensure the load is centralised and accurately monitored.
