Egersund Net is a part of AKVA group

AKVA group, Egersund Net has announced that is finally started to launch a new net-cleaning service station at Sandstrand, Norway. As a result, the project will be completed early in January 2023.

The initial date was in May but it has been delayed due to difficult contract negotiations, price increases and longer delivery times. The company has informed a local sports team, IL Santor, that has already carried out some demolition work.

According to service manager Geir Henning Risholm, they will use IL Santor again on a couple of different small projects. In a few years, AKVA group, Egersund Net plans to have around 15 employees at Sandstrand.

“Through our best practice philosophy and thorough training, we shall offer strong professional service by skilled employees. In addition, we have a strong focus on the environment. With our methods and high-tech equipment, we will be running a sustainable facility,” Risholm said.

Last week, AKVA group announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, AKVA group Land Based A/S, has signed a post-smolt RAS contract with Cooke Aquaculture.
