New wellboat will produce freshwater from seawater

Intership is launchin efficient and environmentally sound treatment for and sea lice

The Norwegian based wellboat company Intership AS has installed its own design for treatment of AGD and sea lice on board its new wellboat MIV Inter Caledonia. Marine Harvest Scotland takes possession of this innovative boat for operation in Sco sh waters in April. Intership designed the freshwater production system (using reverse osmosis technologies) in cooperation with Peter Taboada SA in Spain.

Intership AS has filed a patent application for the system, which will quickly fill the wellboat with freshwater and allow operators to perform continuous freshwater treatments of salmon against AGD and sea lice without any external supply of freshwater.

This is a design our eet manager, Kjetil Opshaug, has worked on for some time,’ said Intership CEO Ole Peter Brandal.

We see this as a breakthrough in the battle against AGD and sea lice and have great expectations for the system.’
