Marine Harvest order two new AKVA barges

MARINN Harvest Scotland and AKVA Group Scotland have signed a deal for two new barges. The AKVA Centre 450 tonne Panorama and AKVA Master 320 tonne Comfort are both due to be delivered this yeard in October and November, probably to the Western Isles.

AKVA steel barges are designed to withstand the rough Scottish conditions, including in some cases wave heights of up to 6m.

The barges can carry 450 and 320 tonnes of feed with eight and six line feed systems respectively to ensure feeding and fish performance is fully optimised.

The latest feeding and integrated feedback monitoring technology can now be monitored and controlled remotely from a shore base using the AKVA Connect software platform.
