Lødingen Fisk and Pure Salmon Technology have completed their collaboration process and are moving into the execution phase of the RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture Systems) facility for their project in Vestbygda, Nordland, Norway.
The project and design process initially started as a preliminary plan based on a flow-through solution, since Lødingen Fisk had good access to water. Later, the Norwegian company decided to rely on Pure Salmon Technology to make the final decision.
"Lødingen Fisk and Pure Salmon Technology have worked closely and constructively together over time. The collaboration phase gave us the opportunity to optimize the solutions, ensuring the project was as well adapted as possible to the site and the facility before signing the contract," clarified Managing Director of Lødingen Fisk, Truls Olsen.
Installation work is scheduled to begin in August 2026, with completion expected in September 2028. The plant will include one department for fry, one for smolt, and two for post-smolt, with a total production volume of 15,000 m³.
Regarding this, the Project Director at Pure Salmon Technology, Monica Bjørkmo Ringen, assured: "Our focus is on ensuring safe and efficient progress on site, with strong Health, Safety, and Environment standards and close follow-up throughout the build. When the facility is handed over, it will be ready for fish."
Additionally, the Commercial Director at Pure Salmon Technology, Synnøve Helland, said: "Lødingen Fisk made a strategic choice, and together we have developed a solution that provides greater flexibility, higher capacity, and a facility designed for the future. We truly appreciate the trust and the collaboration we have with Lødingen Fisk."
