Lauritz Skeide VP Sales & Marketing at Brimer says: "We've been contracted to produce the Aquafarm which will be delivered to an international customer and it will be shipped there before being assembled locally. A great way for Brimer to show versatility in product and delivery. This is a big and important project for Brimer and a big step for the aquaculture industry in terms of future farming solutions and environmental emissions."
Optimal farming environment and reduced mortality One of the biggest benefits of the Aquafarm is the significant reduction in fish mortality, thanks to an optimal farming environment. The semi-closed structure makes it possible to minimize external influences, ensuring higher quality fish and a healthier farming system.
Sustainable materials and impressive dimensions Aquafarm is built in composite (GRP), which is known for its durability, corrosion resistance and low maintenance requirements. With a diameter of 40 meters inside and 45 outside and a height of 26 meters, Aquafarm provides both ample space and a stable framework for fish growth, while minimizing the impact on the surroundings. The entire structure weighs a total of 300 tons.
Global interest and the future of aquaculture Aquafarm is already attracting international interest, with a major international customer choosing this solution. Brimer sees a growing global need for semi-closed aquaculture systems, and Aquafarm's product is an important step towards a cleaner, more efficient and sustainable future in aquaculture.
