HARBOR LAUNCHES HARBOR FENCE V3 AND SIGNS RECORD NUMBER OF CONTRACTS

Harbor develops and delivers Harbor Fence – a flexible, electric barrier system that protects farmed salmon from sea lice and the increasingly problematic pearl sea nettle, without the use of chemicals. The company is now seeing a commercial breakthrough and has recently signed a record number of contracts with fish farmers along the Norwegian coast.

“We’re seeing a clear shift where customers are prioritising prevention over treatment, and the combined effect against both lice and jellyfish is delivering real value,” says Christian Eritzland, Head of Sales at Harbor. “It’s incredibly motivating to experience such strong market response.”

Alongside this growing demand, the company is now launching Harbor Fence V3 – a new and improved version with increased effect and a documented 100% operational uptime.

“This is an important technological milestone for us and for our customers. V3 offers both increased reliability and improved performance under challenging conditions,” Eritzland says.

To meet demand, Harbor is significantly scaling up production capacity. At the same time, the company has successfully closed a funding round of nearly NOK 20 million – fully subscribed by existing shareholders.

“This injection of capital gives us both the momentum and security we need to grow with the market,” says Harbor CEO Christian Bjørnsen. “The wholehearted support from our investors is a strong endorsement of our strategy and the foundation we’re building.”

Head of R&D, Tarald Kleppa Øvrebø, highlights the breakthrough in Harbor’s jellyfish-focused research efforts:

“It’s highly encouraging to see that our R&D work is now materialising into commercial deliveries. It shows that the industry is taking biological challenges seriously and is actively seeking sustainable solutions.”

Major players are also taking note of Harbor’s progress.

“We see Harbor Fence as an important addition to our toolbox for reducing lice pressure and securing fish health,” says Vidar Aamo Nikolaisen, Regional Director at Grieg Seafood Finnmark.
