ÅRDAL AQUA ENGAGES AKVA GROUP TO COMPLETE POST-SMOLT FACILITY

Årdal Aqua engages Akva Group to complete post-smolt facility. Årdal Aqua has chosen AKVA group to complete the construction of its post-smolt facility after the previous RAS supplier, Billund Aquaculture, went bankrupt. The facility in Årdal consists of four post-smolt modules, each with a capacity of 1,500 tons, and is scheduled for completion in June 2025.

AKVA group has recruited key personnel from the previous supplier and will also contribute additional resources to ensure the successful completion of the facility. 

“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,” says Nils Viga, General Manager of Årdal Aqua.
