In addition to meeting the absolute requirements for a stable and escape-proof fish farming facility, we offer consultancy, assurance, and expertise from the planning of site to the deployment of the finished facility. All mooring connections and components are certified according to the Norwegian Standard (NS) 9415.
The Omega concept - a groundbreaking mooring solution enabling sustainable fish farming in the most exposed locations. The Omega concept is a patented solution that introduces a direct connection between the sinker tube and the mooring system, limiting the net's horizontal movement.
We provide various types of sinker anchors based on seabed conditions, water depth, and preferences. The primary characteristic of an anchor is its holding power relative to its own weight, and here our Aqua HP anchor takes the lead. Additionally, we supply plow anchors and patent anchors, as well as T-bolts. The latter is used on rocky seabeds and can be installed at a depth of 500 meters using the Sub-Fighter ROV with Rock Drill.
Alongside maintaining the facility's stability, proper mooring plays a crucial role in the work environment and the safety of the personnel involved in the operation of the fish farming facility. A facility that is both secure and stable directly contributes to increased work comfort and a significant reduction in the potential risk of accidents.
To address the challenge of salmon lice in the industry, AKVA group has developed deep farming solutions. This highly successful concept involves lowering the biomass below the lice belt to ensure good fish health and growth. Naturally, we provide mooring for this solution. Our advisors, in collaboration with the customer, will assess whether there's a need for an entirely new facility or a supplement to an existing mooring system.
Our marine engineering department is an accredited inspection body for mooring analyses (in accordance with Nytek / NS9415:2009 and Nytek23 / NS9415:2021). The engineers in the department have extensive and diverse experience, providing net analyses, spreader system analyses, and other engineering services. The department is a part of AKVA group's skilled innovation team and has, throughout the years, developed new solutions and products in close collaboration with customers and the industry.
