Giant feed barge is built to handle the rough stuff
GroAqua has delivered the 1,100-tonne capacity vessel to Bakkafrost in the Faroes
The new barge was built at GroAqua's shipyard in Szczecin, Poland, before arriving in the Faroe Islands on April 14.
GroAqua, which was founded in the Faroe Islands in 1972, has in recent years invested heavily in large feed barges for exposed farming locations and has also built up operations in Scotland, Denmark, and Poland.
"The barge has been delivered to the customer and has already been put into use at the location," Kristian Andreasen, sales manager for feed barges at GroAqua, tells Fish Farming Expert's Norwegian sister site, Kyst.no.
