Pelagia strengthens focus on sludge - Fjord Solutions acquired

Fjord Solutions strengthens Pelagia's focus on sustainable sludge solutions, which already combines Pelagia's expertise in logistics and processes with Blue Ocean's technology for dewatering, storage and value creation of sludge.

At the core of the acquisition is Fjord Solutions' BioCollector, a robust collection system that efficiently captures and gently transports feed waste and sludge from open and semi-closed cages.

- "Fjord Solutions is a valuable addition to our portfolio. It gives us the opportunity to combine sludge collection at sea with dewatering, intermediate storage and transport. We provide our customers with fewer interfaces, lower operating costs and better resource utilisation,‘ says Egil Magne Haugstad, CEO of Pelagia.

- ’By gathering our resources and expertise in a single unit, we are accelerating the development of new solutions and streamlining existing offerings. Our goal is to expand our market share by covering more links in the value chain, thereby delivering even more comprehensive and competitive solutions to the industry," says Knut Antonsen, COO and Head of Sludge at Pelagia.

The industry's response has been very positive. The acquisition of Blue Ocean Technology in 2024, and now Fjord Solutions, makes Pelagia a leading player in complete sludge solutions for sea-based aquaculture.

- "Becoming part of Pelagia is the right choice for us. It gives us the opportunity to further develop our innovative solutions, while strengthening our ability to deliver complete systems to the industry. We look forward to becoming part of the Pelagia team," says Daria Lysova, CEO of Fjord Solutions.
