Norway-based NSK Ship Design has been busy working on building Havfarm (“Ocean Farm”) ships for global Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout processor Nordlaks. These Havfarms will be able to contain some 10,000 tons of salmon each. Six cages will be built into the boats, each measuring 50 by 50 meters in size with aquaculture nets that span 60 meters deep. NSK said in December 2015 that if it is granted concessions from Norway’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, it could potentially finish the first Havfarm by the end of 2017.
