Norwegian aquaculture equipment supplier Akva sent four workboat fleets to Vietnam and is constantly looking for different opportunities to gain a better position across new geographical areas, CEO Hallvard Muri said in a presentation of the company's second quarter results.

The fleets are described as "simpler" than those supplied to Norway and Iceland.

The supplier saw its earnings soar in the second quarter because of better cage-based technology sales and a doubling of sales in the Nordic region.

Three quarters of the company's cage-based sales came from the Nordic region.
