Bluegreen Group, a Norwegian company specialized in building thermoplastic structures, is making steady progress in the construction of three fish farming units in the Frierfjorden fjord, Norway, for aquaculture solutions provider Fishglobe Technologies.
The delivery of the 10K and 3.5K models, with capacities of 10,000 m³ and 3,500 m³, is scheduled for early August. As for the 30K model, with a capacity of 31,000 m³, its completion is expected in the spring of 2026. This will mark the launch of the largest closed fish farming unit and the largest thermoplastic structure in the world.
"It's an ambitious project where speed matters. The transition from design to construction drawings happens quickly, but we work closely with Fishglobe to find good solutions. The result is an optimized product in terms of both form and function – for those of us building it, and for those who will operate it at sea," Project Manager Tommy Rasmussen indicated.
Moreover, Tor Magne Madsen, co-director at Fishglobe Technologies, assured: "Bluegreen is delivering strong work across multiple areas. They maintain high focus on progress, without ever compromising on quality or safety. Naturally, a project of this scale creates busy periods for everyone involved, but our long-standing partnership with Bluegreen is solid and resilient under pressure."
Currently, Bluegreen is assembling major elements such as walls, roofs, balconies, and top sections for the first two units. The next step is to lift the top section of the fish volume, which is scheduled for June. Finally, the sea launch is scheduled for early August as mentioned above.
"We've invested in our tower crane, which gives us great flexibility. We can carry out the lifts exactly when needed, without the extra coordination of renting equipment. That saves us time and gives us full control," Rasmussen detailed.
One of the positive aspects of this high-technology project has been Bluegreen's production of its own plastic panels, which has streamlined the design process and reduced costs.
"Bluegreen's design has reduced the weight of the 30K unit from 1100 to 690 tons. That's the equivalent of saving about 20 truckloads of plastic material – a major environmental gain," Madsen noted.
