GAEL FORCE GROUP DELIVERS SEAQURE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM TO ICELAND

Gael Force Group delivers SeaQure containment system to Iceland. Inverness-based aquaculture equipment, technology, and service supply partner, Gael Force Group, has recently completed the successful installation of its SeaQure range of aquaculture equipment for Iceland-based fish farming company, Hábrún.

 Working in close collaboration with Hábrún, and local service provider, Sjótækni, who managed all installations and inspections, Gael Force designed, built, and delivered a complete containment system comprising pens, moorings, and nets. All equipment supplied went through rigorous technical analysis to ensure the highest levels of quality, reliability, and longevity in the Icelandic marine environment. This process included advanced simulations of wind, wave, and storm conditions, as well as assessments of the behaviour of floating structures such as pen overtopping and net deflection.

The installation features the trusted and proven SeaQureMoor mooring grid, widely recognised for its durability in some of the most extreme marine environments in the Northern Hemisphere. It is complemented by SeaQureNet HDPE containment nets and bird nets, which combine lightweight construction with high breaking strength to deliver outstanding containment performance and effective protection from predators.

The site has also been equipped with 120m circumference pens with 500mm floatation pipes. The SeaQurePen Ultra, the latest addition to the range, is a steel bracket pen that has been purpose-built for exposed aquaculture sites. The design benefits from heavy-duty galvanised brackets for enhanced structural integrity and resilience, along with engineered tie rods to ensure optimal load distribution.

Commenting on the project, Gael Force Group Sales Manager, Sigurður Steinþórsson, said:

“We are pleased to support Hábrún in their plans for growth with the introduction of our SeaQurePen Ultra and wider SeaQure range into their operations. We are grateful to Hábrún for placing their trust in us to deliver robust, fit-for-purpose equipment for use on their site.”

Mr Kjartansson, Operations Manager at Hábrún, added:

“We are satisfied with the expertise and commitment to quality shown by Gael Force throughout this project. Their equipment gives us great confidence in the resilience of our containment system, which is essential for operating in the demanding conditions of our environment.”

Gael Force Group will be showcasing the SeaQurePen Ultra, along with other products, at Aqua Nor in Trondheim, Norway, on 19-21 August at Stand A-133. This will also be an opportunity for customers to meet Gael Force’s new Sales Managers, Sigurður Steinþórsson and Alessandro Ciattaglia, along with the wider Gael Force team.
