Nova Sea has signed a contract with the construction company Consto worth NOK 673 million. The facility is expected to be ready by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
Both companies hope not only to strengthen each other but also to contribute to the sustainable growth and development of the aquaculture sector in Helgeland.
The two companies have signed an agreement for the automation of the new Lovund salmon slaughterhouse, which will be operational in the spring of 2026.
After LetSea and Mowi, it is now Nova Sea that is affected by the suspected pancreas disease outbreak in Nordland which, if confirmed, would lead to the rapid culling of the fish.
The construction of the new Nova Sea slaughterhouse, which had been put on hold by the salmon tax, will mean the creation of between 10 and 40 new jobs.
