The optimal mode of towing fishing gear has a direct impact on the energy efficiency of the fishing vessel. To build the combined traction characteristics of the vessel and trawl systems, data are needed on the nominal moments on the winch and engine drum, as well as the traction force in the warp. Estimation of the movement parameters of the towed object will make it possible to haul warps without overloading the trawl winch and the main engine. The paper proposes a block diagram of the algorit
