Grieg-backed land-based salmon producer Årdal Aqua has selected AKVA group to complete the construction of its post-smolt facility, following the bankruptcy of the previous RAS supplier, Billund Aquaculture.
The facility, located in Årdal, comprises four post-smolt modules, each with a capacity of 1,500 tons, and is expected to be completed by June 2025.
AKVA group has recruited key personnel from the former supplier and will provide additional resources to ensure the project is completed on schedule.
“Engaging AKVA group was crucial to ensure the post-smolt facility is completed as planned. We are confident that their expertise and the integration of key personnel from the previous supplier will ensure progress and completion by June 2025,” said Nils Viga, General Manager of Årdal Aqua in a press release on Wednesday.
