SAGO COMBI POOL
During the process to find the ultimate way to handle Sago Extreme on board, the first idea for Sago Combi Pool was created. That said, vessels can use Sago Extreme without this solution by lifting the units out of the water with crane either at the side of the vessel or through a moonpool.
The Sago Combi Pool is designed to take on challenges with bird mortality and working in icy waters as well as creating a safe and comfortable working environment for the crew.
Sago Combi Pool is a unique stern design (available as an extension module) with an internal pool and working area. The longline is both set and hauled through the same pool. This means that the longline is underwater when it leaves the vessel, making it less available for birds and protecting the fishing gear from ice.
