Seasystems wins major aquaculture contract

Scana-owned Seasystems AS has been awarded a contract to deliver a mooring system to Nordlaks Oppdrett AS for their Hydra project.

– Entering into this agreement with Nordlaks is a great feather in the cap for Seasystems. We’ve worked on this contract for a long time, in sharp competition with several strong contenders, and we’re pleased that our solutions came out on top, says a satisfied Managing Director, Torkjell Lisland.

Seasystems brings over 30 years of experience and technological expertise from the mooring market. Building on this knowledge and collaboration with long-term partners, Seasystems has developed a compact and attractive solution tailored to the customer’s needs.

Work on the Hydra project begins immediately, with the mooring system scheduled for delivery during 2023/24. The project design will take place in Norway, equipment fabrication further south in Europe, and integration with the aquaculture unit will happen in Turkey. The actual production tank (see fact box) will be transported from Turkey to Norway and installed in Vesterålen.

– In 2020, Seasystems delivered the mooring solution for Nordlaks’ impressive fish farm, Jostein Albert. Being selected again as the preferred mooring supplier for another prestigious aquaculture project is the highest mark of quality we can receive. With this contract, Seasystems continues to grow its market share in more sustainable segments, which is an important goal for the company, says Styrk Bekkenes, CEO of Scana ASA.

Fact box:
In February, Nordlaks Oppdrett acquired the companies Hydra Salmon Company II and Hydra Pioner, along with four development licenses and the rights to the semi-closed concept known as the “production tank.” The tank is designed for farming Atlantic salmon or rainbow trout and will feature a sealed roof and sidewalls extending 20 meters below sea level. The floating unit will measure just under 80 meters in diameter.
