Hybrid propulsion concepts for fishing vessels

Magik Web Geni maritime, Réalisation

The objective of this research project was to develop two technically and economically viable concepts of hybrid propulsion systems for fishing vessels, adapted to Québec conditions (St. Lawrence river and gulf) : for vessels operating near the coast and making sea trips of less than one day and for vessels making sea trips of several consecutive days. The adoption of …

Development of a hydrofoil : hydrodynamic study, dynamic optimization and stability

imar Geni maritime, Réalisation

The main objective of the project was to finalize the design, prototype fabrication and tests for a hydrofoil. The project aimed to determine which hydrodynamic profiles are most appropriate; determine the polarities of these profiles, establish the geometry of the wings according to the targeted performances, determine the hydrodynamic loads on the components of the hydrofoil; make a prototype, test …

Longline brake

Magik Web Geni maritime, Réalisation

Commercial groundfish fishing is practiced in Québec with trawl, gillnets or longlines. The longline consists of a main line on which hooks are arranged with branchlines. The launching of the longline (up to 1000 baited hooks) however requires a lot of skill and is at high risk of injury. The goal of the project was to design, manufacture and test …

Design and manufacture of a lobster slider

imar Geni maritime, Réalisation

The project consisted of the development of a slide system for the safe release of lobster females on lobster boats in the Gaspé fleet. To do this, the engineers of Innovation maritime met with fishermen and other people involved in the project in order to identify needs, to design and manufacture a prototype slide and to carry out functional tests …

Crawler mounting design

imar Geni maritime, Réalisation

The objective of the project was to develop a crawler trolley that would allow the launching of boats built at the shipyard. It’s from a concept proposed by the client that the team of Innovation maritime carried out the structural validation of the handling equipment to be manufactured. This truck was to be able to withstand 300 metric tons, withstand …
