Our recent project involved the comprehensive development of an offshore fish farm facility. We developed a tailor-made solution, ‘Smart Fishfarm,’ for breeding salmon in fully exposed offshore locations. The fish farm is designed to be located in a harsh environment in 100 years design sea states with significant wave heights in excess of 16 meters. It is designed to host 3,2 million salmon with a biomass capacity of more than 12,000 tons.

This innovative concept advances traditional fish farming techniques with enhanced technical solutions, improved fish welfare, and superior unit arrangement, designed to withstand wind, waves, and sea currents.

This project included:

• Conceptual and Basic Design: Establishing the foundational design elements and principles.
• Biomass Welfare Design: Ensuring optimal conditions for fish welfare.
• Biomass Handling Systems: Implementing efficient systems for handling the biomass.
• Rules & Regulations Development: Developing compliance protocols and ensuring adherence to industry standards.
• Liaison with Authorities: Coordinating with regulatory bodies to meet all necessary requirements.
• Layout, Arrangement, and Architectural Design: Crafting a functional and aesthetic design for the facility.
• Hydrodynamic Analysis: Conducting detailed studies to understand water flow and movement.
• Model Testing: Validating designs through rigorous model testing.
• Stability Analysis and Watertight Subdivisions: Ensuring the stability and safety of the structure.
• Mooring Analysis and Arrangement: Designing secure mooring systems.
• Negotiations and Follow-Up with Shipyards: Managing shipyard interactions and overseeing construction.
• Design of HTV Transportation: Developing transportation solutions for heavy lift vessels.
• Technical Safety: Implementing comprehensive safety measures.
• Piping and HVAC Design: Designing efficient piping and HVAC systems.
• Interfaces with Power and Automation Packages: Ensuring seamless integration with power and automation systems.
