We take immense pride in our engagement with this impressive initiative, where we harness the robust currents to create a new aquaculture setting for Hiddenfjord in the Faroe Islands.
In addition to these efforts, we have manufactured farming cages to the site. This highlights our all-encompassing involvement in this commendable project and commitment to providing comprehensive solutions tailored to the unique needs of the location.
Atli Gregersen has long wanted to farm fish in the Vestmannasund Strait between the islands of Streymoy and Vagar in the Faroes, but the current was considered too strong. That problem has now been overcome with the help of an ocean engineering expert.
Gregersen, chief executive and co-owner of the Faroes’ second largest salmon farmer, Hiddenfjord, and his team have worked with Øystein Patursson, of aquaculture and ocean engineering company RAO ÍVF, to devise a solution.
They are using nets attached to both sides of the moorings for a straight row of five pens at the site.
There are two nets, one at each end of the row, and each net is mounted on a large specially designed float that lies on the surface of the water.
