AKVA group now have permissions to work with all kinds of fixed electrical installations. From working with machinery and feed systems we now are permitted to work with everything electrical. I definitely see potential in barges and land-based," Handeland says.

Will bring synergies
"There is no longer a need to involve electronic companies. We can perform the work ourselves and hopefully deliver better, customized products in the process. Potentially this will bring synergies to other AKVA departments," Handeland says.

"It´s a hefty rebuilding job on a barge where we are doing a complete electrical installation," Handeland says.
