Fish handling with care by Optimar

The most effective and humane way to sedate shrimps is by using the Optimar Electric Stunner. This method will also improve the product quality as well as human safety, and obtain greater efficiency and reduction in labour in the harvest process. The stunner will be showcased at our stand at the Global Shrimp Forum - will we see you there?

This week, Optimar is in Vietnam for Vietfish 2025, combining installation work, customer meetings, and a presentation at VASEP’s conference. For the people, the fish, and the future – Optimar helps producers deliver high-quality, traceable, and responsibly processed seafood.

The freezer trawler Nordborg, owned by P/F Hvalnes in the Faroe Islands, is being upgraded with one of the world’s most advanced pelagic factory decks, delivered by Optimar. Featuring seamless design, full traceability, energy-efficient operation, and a strong focus on crew working conditions, the project sets a new standard for efficient, high-quality seafood processing at sea.
