Solutions in a changing offshore world

As global demand for sustainable protein continues to rise, aquaculture is emerging as a vital solution.

Our oceans cover 70% of the planet yet contribute only 2% to global protein production. Harnessing the sea, through advanced farming technologies, is essential to meeting humanity’s future food needs.

Nearshore and coastal areas now face limitations and challenges in capacity and support, as a result, the industry is expanding further offshore. These environments are significantly more demanding, presenting key challenges:

  • Harsher Environments
  • Fish Welfare
  • Technical Complexity

Pioneering modern Aquaculture

We are a committed long-term partner in the development of the aquaculture industry.

Since supporting the world’s first large-scale offshore fish farm for SalMar in 2012, we have contributed to the advancement of over ten aquaculture concepts for many of the industry’s leading fish farming companies – spanning feasibility studies, concept development, FEED, detailed engineering, and strategic advisory.

Full-lifecycle project partnership

With over 15 years of experience across the sector, we have built a strong track record throughout Europe and are actively expanding into global markets through our globally active, locally present approach. This has enabled us to develop deep expertise in fish welfare requirements and collaborate with the right environments to establish best practices and deliver effective, sustainable solutions.

We offer engineering excellence and hands-on support at every stage of the aquaculture lifecycle.

Fish farm concept & design

Designing for inshore and offshore conditions presents a unique set of challenges. Our engineers begin with a thorough analysis of the location – evaluating wave height, water depth, currents, and seabed characteristics to define precise design criteria. Using advanced modelling techniques, we rigorously test concepts against the forces of wind, waves, and ocean dynamics to ensure structural integrity, operational reliability, and long-term performance.

System integration

Offshore fish farms demand seamless integration of all marine systems, including logistics and fish handling.

One of the key challenges lies in adapting inshore technologies to withstand the rigors of offshore environments. Our teams engineer and optimize fish handling and monitoring systems to ensure resilience, reliability, and performance under harsher conditions.

Ocean Farm 1
Norway

The world’s first large scale offshore fish farm Ocean farm 1 is a pioneering offshore fish farming concept. The design was the first Offshore Fish Farm to be approved by the Norwegian authorities.

This innovative concept involved many suppliers in the project. The unit was constructed in China and installed on location in 2017. Our role was to provide main engineering and support from conceptual idea until installation in Norway (2013 – 2017).

  • Establishment of conceptual solution together with owner
  • All engineering throughout the different project stages
  • All system integration
  • Yard selection
  • Construction follow-up
  • Carried out sea trials and installation
