Are you in the business of seafood farming? Then you know that there are clear expectations from customers, the environment, and the market in general - to handle and slaughter both fish and crustaceans in the most humane way possible.

All animals killed for food should be slaughtered humanely. This means that they must be effectively stunned, rendered instantaneously insensible, and remain unconsciousness until death supervenes.

We are ready! As the market situation changes, we want to be by your side to collaborate with these new challenges that demand more automatic systems that strengthen the safety of our customers. Hope to see you at Conxemar in Vigo, Spain - 4th, 5th and 6th October. Looking forward to good discussions and sharing our knowledge.

Earlier this year DFFU signed a contract with VARD, and now they have signed a contract with Optimar for delivery of a complete factory onboard, to be delivered in 2024.

This is one of Optimar’s many areas of expertise, and to deliver this solution to DFFU is considered a declaration of trust.

Sea-lice is a big challenge for the salmon industry, and we continue to work close with our customers to develop good methods of de-licing. Our new Optiflush helps reduce the temperature and secures the welfare of the fish through the process of de-licing.

We are one of the world's leading innovation companies in our field, with this comes great responsibility. Together with our customers and partners we will innovate and continue to create an industry caring for generations to come.

Achieving a good flow in the factory is crucial to get the most out of a vessel’s capacity. With a higher degree of automation you will reduce the wear and tear on the crew as well. Retrofits from Optimar will uncover the adjustments necessary to realize just that.

The mobile containers ensure versatility, and provide seafood companies the opportunity for more operating days. For instance, a fishing trawler can operate as support to aquaculture or other operations out of season.

– Optimar has been a solid partner throughout the project, both the planning, installation and implementation of our factories. If we experienced needs of smaller adjustments along the way, the Optimar team handled it, Jakob Maron Remøy says.

Another year. Another possibility to look back – before embracing new opportunities. As so many of you, we continued our interactions through Teams and didn’t travel much at all. However, we move forward with gratitude and optimism.
