Artec Aqua has teamed up with K Smart Farming (KSF) to conduct a feasibility study for a 20,000 tonne land-based salmon farming facility in South Korea.
The agreement includes an intention for Artec Aqua to conduct engineering, delivery, installation and commissioning of designed process related systems and equipment in the future.
“We are delighted to secure this feasibility study, which puts us in pole position to deliver the full turnkey build-out of this exciting salmon farming facility in South Korea,” said Ingegjerd Eidsvik, chief executive of Artec Aqua.
KSF is a joint venture between Norway-based Salmon Evolution and Korean seafood company Dongwon Industries. The plan is to develop, construct and operate a land-based salmon farming facility with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tonnes live weight of harvestable Atlantic salmon in South Korea.
The project plans to use a hybrid flow through system technology, such as the one Artec Aqua is delivering to Salmon Evolution’s land-based facility at Indre Harøy in Norway.
“Salmon Evolution has, through our cooperation at Indre Harøya, gained first-hand experience of our specialist competence within engineering and delivery of land-based aquaculture facilities and consequently they have introduced us to K Smart Farming,” added Ingegjerd Eidsvik.
