Fisheries & Aquaculture

We are experienced in the design and engineering needs of offshore fish farm cages. Thanks to years of work in the offshore industry and on fish farm support vessels, we have the operational and design expertise in fish farm operations. As fish farms go further offshore to prevent diseases and parasites, our knowledge of vessel connectivity, operator awareness and reliability will guarantee success.  

We are experienced in the design and engineering requirements of these specialised vessels, having provided thrusters, dynamic positioning systems, energy storage and management, hybrid operations and heat recovery systems for such vessels. We offer accurate cargo delivery and measuring equipment to ensure exact amounts of fish feed are delivered. This combination of complex handling equipment, flexible cargo capacity and efficient propulsion is a powerful solution for owners and operators.  

We are a leading supplier of design, engineering, and full life cycle support for Live Fish Carriers, with equipment onboard vessels operating in Norway, Canada, Chile, Scotland, and Tasmania. We have designed and equipped Live Fish Carriers for the world’s biggest LFC company, with technology and engineering designed to reduce fuel consumption, improve safety, and ensure the onboard environment for fish.  

Longliner fishing vessels need to operate with smaller, skilled crews effectively. Our integrated bridge and navigation solutions help streamline operations, while our range of thrusters and propeller-shaftline systems allow operators greater fuel efficiency. Our range of deck machinery has been optimised over time thanks to years of experience in the offshore and research vessel fields.  

Pelagic trawlers operate in the open ocean and need efficient power management in order to reduce operating expenses. Our trawling management systems, combined with the best in deck machinery and operations control, ensure safety and improve fuel efficiency, allowing longer stays at sea. Our automation and control systems can also help reduce the strain on crews.  

Our Simrad sonars, echo sounders and catch monitoring systems are backed by more than 70 years of experience in the fishing segment. Combined with durable deck machinery able to handle high loads, our clients in the Purse Seiner segment enjoy considerable benefits with our engineering and systems. Our catch control systems help to avoid bycatch and ensure compliance with regulations, while our energy management solutions lower operating costs.  

Fluctuating fuel costs and regulatory requirements are adding to the pressures of stern trawler operations. Our fuel and power management systems keep consumption down, regardless of the operation. We also provide vessel automation and control systems that automate onboard systems such as winches and propulsion, for safer operations and reduced crew requirements. Our catch monitoring systems help operators understand catch make up and volume to remain compliant with quotas.
