Global Applause: Maccaferri, renowned for civil and environmental engineering, celebrated its role in the service and maintenance operations bridging Cycles One and Two. The net’s mechanical properties remained uncompromised, and its safety features thwarted escape attempts. Lapo Vivarelli Colonna, Maccaferri’s CEO, beamed with pride, acknowledging Salmar Aker Ocean AS’s remarkable results.

Testimonial from the Trenches: Mr. Henrik Hannus, the Project Manager at SAO, summed it up succinctly: “I would buy it again”. His words echoed across the Norwegian fjords, a resounding endorsement of Kikkonet’s prowess.

A Clean Slate, A Bright Future: As Ocean Farm 1 embarks next production cycle, KikkoNet remains its steadfast companion.. Maccaferri’s technology, performing as expected, ensures that the ocean’s bounty thrives under its watchful mesh.
