Nytt krillfiskefartøy bestilt

Aker QRILL Company, which was recently separated from Aker Biomarine, has signed an agreement with Tersan Shipyard to build a fourth krill fishing vessel. This contract includes the purchase and significant modification of a previously canceled project from 18 months ago. The ship had been completed since 2023 but had not found a buyer until now. This new vessel is essential in maintaining Aker QRILL Company’s leading position in krill ingredients and meeting the growing global demand for nutrient-rich marine feed ingredients.

Planlegger omfattende renoveringer

The project involves extensive renovations and adaptations to meet the specific requirements of Aker QRILL Company. These modifications will generate several key contracts for Norwegian maritime suppliers, thereby bolstering local expertise and innovation. Part of the project will explore advanced solutions in the use of alternative fuel types, underscoring the company's commitment to sustainability.

Ny vekstfase for Aker QRILL

The expansion of the fleet is seen as crucial for Aker QRILL Company's next phase of growth. The new vessel will be outfitted with the latest and most advanced technology, ensuring access to renewable and sustainable marine raw materials. This is key to meet the increasing global demand for high-quality marine feed ingredients.

Operasjon fra 2026 med norsk lisens

The vessel will operate under a Norwegian fishing license in the CCAMLR-regulated krill fishery starting from the third quarter of 2026. This milestone marks an important step for both Aker QRILL Company and Tersan Shipyard, offering valuable opportunities for both parties. It aligns with Tersan Shipyard's vision of innovation and quality, contributing to sustainable fisheries and global food security.
