Aquaculture industry supplier Pelagia has acquired all shares of Fjord Solutions to continue working on the development of sustainable sludge solutions.
Fjord Solutions' BioCollector collection system, an innovative technology, will efficiently capture and gently transport feed waste and sludge from open and semi-closed cages.
This move aligns with Pelagia's growth strategy, which began with the acquisition of sludge specialist Blue Ocean Technology and Ideal Foods, a British company specialized in supplying fish, seafood, and co-products to a global market.
"Fjord Solutions is a valuable addition to our portfolio. It gives us the opportunity to combine sludge collection at sea with dewatering, intermediate storage, and transport. We provide our customers with fewer interfaces, lower operating costs, and better resource utilisation," explained Pelagia CEO Egil Magne Haugstad.
Additionally, Fjord Solutions CEO, Daria Lysova, said: "Becoming part of Pelagia is the right choice for us. It gives us the opportunity to further develop our innovative solutions while strengthening our ability to deliver complete systems to the industry. We look forward to becoming part of the Pelagia team."
Finally, Pelagia COO and Head of Sludge, Knut Antonsen, noted: "Our goal is to expand our market share by covering more links in the value chain, thereby delivering even more comprehensive and competitive solutions to the industry."
