Norway Royal Salmon (NRS) and Aker submitted a joint application for development licenses for offshore salmon farming on Friday.

Together, the companies have developed a new offshore aquaculture farming concept that facilitates sustainable growth in areas that current aquaculture technology has so far not been able to exploit.

Norway’s directorate of fisheries awards permits to operators that develop technology and solutions that can solve environmental and areal challenges in the aquaculture industry.

NRS and Aker have developed a semi-submersible offshore farm designed for harsh environments.
