The vessel will hold 1,100 tons of feed and have 24 lines, allowing the simultaneous feeding of 24 pens
Faroese’s companies GroAqua and Bakkafrost have signed a few days ago an agreement to build the world’s largest feed barge in terms of feed storage capacity and the number of feed lines. The feed barge, expected to be delivered by next summer, will hold 1,100 tons of feed and will have 24 feed lines, allowing for the simultaneous feeding of 24 pens. The barge will be equipped with GroAqua’s newest technology, GroVision, making it automatic and unmanned.
According to the company specialized in facilitating sustainable fish growth by remotely monitoring and controlling the feeding and breeding process (in seawater and freshwater), this feed barge is the second of two large feed barges GroAqua is set to build for Bakkafrost at this time.
“We at GroAqua are proud to have made a historic agreement with Bakkafrost to build two large feed barges,” said Ólavur Thomsen, who works on this project for GroAqua. “The project is attracting attention worldwide, as these are groundbreaking feed barges in terms of size and onboard technology.”
GroVision
GroVision is a software for controlling and monitoring the farm site. It gives fish farmers the ability to optimize the feeding process and minimize feed wastage with the help of cameras, sensors and a remotely controlled feeding system.
According to GroAqua, this technology has several qualities that make it a great software for controlling and monitoring fish farms. One of its key advantages is the ability to track feed wastage, leading to minimized feed wastage and improved production efficiency. Another key advantage is the ability to create custom camera views with all cameras on the farm site. Finally, GroVision can view logged data from various types of sensors used in fish farms.
GroVision is a highly flexible software that can be used to monitor and control all existing feed systems hardware in the market. It can also host and control several farming sites simultaneously, allowing users to efficiently manage multiple locations from a single interface. But one of the most important qualities of GroVision is its ease of use.
Leading producer of superior quality salmon
Bakkafrost is the leading producer of superior quality salmon from the Faroe Islands and Scotland, with a wide range of healthy salmon products from their facilities. The cool and steady sea temperatures of the North Atlantic Current in the Faroe Islands and Scotland provides perfect conditions for raising Atlantic salmon.
The company is one of the world’s most vertically integrated salmon farming companies. Bakkafrost controls all aspects of production – from feed to finished value added products. This ensures unrivalled traceability and consistent high quality.
Delivery next summer
Large feed barges are the norm in the Faroes, where rough weather and exposed sites mean that it is not always possible to restock them. Larger-capacity barges equipped with remote operation reduce the possibility that fish will run out of feed.
GroAqua in Poland is responsible for building the feed barges which are expected to be delivered by next summer.
Working without rest
In June, GroAqua delivered a feed barge with a silo capacity of 1,000 tons to salmon farmer Mowi Faroes, which is using it at one of its high energy sites. The barge has 16 feed lines.
It is good to remember that the aquaculture industry suppliers JT electric and Sterner AquaTech UK rebranded as GroAqua last year, and in January this year it merged with Havida, an innovative aquaculture technology company that holds a strong market position in north and central Norway.
GroAqua has its headquarters in the Faroe Islands, along with companies in Poland, Scotland, and Norway, employing a total of 100 people.
