The lessons of the oil and gas industry will be invaluable in the pursuit of profitable offshore aquaculture industries. And as SaMar Aker Ocean, the joint venture between SalMar and Aker, accelerates to an early launch this month, the excitement of what lies ahead is palpable when talking to its chairman, Atle Eide.
Eide is an aquaculture veteran, but has spent the last 10 years of his career largely working in the oil sector.
"Now I want the last part of my professional career to take place in the fantastic industry I started in," he told IntraFish when we spoke with him at Stiim Aqua Cluster and Norsk Industri's Aquaculture at Sea conference in Sola, Norway, recently.
