Global Maritime Director of Aquaculture Steven Rafferty – formerly the CEO of Skretting – explains how engineering, expertise and technology from the shipping, oil and gas industries can be adopted by the aquaculture sector to help it in its quest to grow sustainably.

As an example, Global Maritime is involved with SalMar’s mega offshore farm project, Ocean 1, which was built by China's Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group.

SalMar was the first company to be granted development permits for its semi-submersible offshore salmon farm.
