MARINE DONUT DELIVERED TO SALMAR

Marine Donut delivered to SalMar. Last week, Marine Donut embarked on its journey from Bamble to Romsdal Fjord in Norway, covering a distance of 510 nautical miles.

Marine Donut, designed and manufactured by Bluegreen, is a cost-efficient floating closed containment system for fish farming. It provides supreme fish quality with minimal environmental footprints. It enables completely new and profitable production strategies.

Marine Donut set off on its journey towards Romsdal Fjord, covering a distance of 510 nautical miles. It’s no small feat to tow a plastic structure weighing over 600 tons.

“We were only 3 hours delayed this morning, which we consider a success,” says Sondre Thorsen, Operations Manager and responsible for the shipment of the Donut. “No one is in a hurry during such massive operations.”

Upon arrival, the client SalMar, one of the world’s largest fish farmers, will fill it with 200,000 salmon weighing 2.5 kilogrammes. They will swim around in the current within the “donut” until they reach 5.5 kilograms, ready to be harvested as food fish.

“Now the real fun begins,” says Nils Johan Tufte, CEO of Bluegreen. “This is where we verify our hypotheses that Marine Donut promotes fish health, delivers premium fish quality, and ensures profitability for the fish farmer.”
