Precision Trawling: Introducing the FS80 Sonar Advantage
Thursday, July 24th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Seattle, WA
Join us in Seattle, WA on Thursday, July 24th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM for an exclusive seminar introducing the groundbreaking FS80 Trawl Sonar from SIMRAD by Kongsberg. The event will conclude with a complimentary lunch.
The FS80 is the first sonar system to combine net monitoring, intake profiling, and bottom detection in a single, compact unit—delivering unmatched precision, operational flexibility, and sustainable performance for fisheries of all sizes. Built on the trusted legacy of the FS70 and enhanced with advanced multifrequency capabilities, the FS80 is designed to help you target the right fish, reduce bycatch, and optimize every trawl.
Be among the first to explore this next-generation technology and learn how it can transform your operations.
