Scotland’s Fusion Marine is to supply salmon pens for Cooke Aquaculture Scotland farm sites in Orkney and Shetland – contract worth more than £1.25m.
These latest orders for 18 Triton pens for sites in Shetland and 12 Oceanflex pens for Orkney are part of Cooke Aquaculture’s rolling programme of fish farm upgrades that will help sustain the economic development of the Northern Isles and support local jobs.
“The Triton and Oceanflex pens are renowned for their strength, excellence of design and easy maintenance. We are especially delighted to have placed these orders with a Scottish company so as to maximise economic benefit,” said Colin Blair, managing director, Cooke Aquaculture Scotland.
Manufactured from tough polyethylene (PE), Oceanflex pens are widely used by the Scottish salmon farming sector, while the Triton system is especially designed for exposed offshore locations. Both pen systems will be supplied with safety decking and other ancillary equipment.
“These pens are manufactured using the latest cutting-edge technology and are designed to meet the demanding requirements of the Scottish salmon industry where stock security is of utmost importance,” added Iain Forbes of Fusion Marine.
