Andfjord Salmon pool pits completed ahead of schedule

January 29, 2024 - Andfjord Salmon is pleased to announce that the excavation of the next 12 pool pits at Kvalnes, Andøya, has been completed one quarter ahead of schedule.

"This is highly encouraging start that de-risks the build-out considerably by creating flexibility for the technical work streams that are ahead of us." says Martin Rasmussen, CEO of Andfjord Salmon.

Andjord Salmon has now excavated two rows of pools, which will house six pools each, which is equal to a total production capacity of 19,000 HOG. In this initial build-out phase, the company will complete four concrete pools, which brings total production capacity to 8000 tonnes HOG at Kvalnes.

"We have planned to initiate concrete works on the pools during the first quarter, which is ahead of schedule," adds Martin Rasmussen.

The other two ongoing work streams - the harbour area and waterways - are also progressing well.
