In brief

Abyss is investing in an FLS system on Fosnasund and purchasing the delousing vessel Marcus.

Abyss is strengthening its service offering with delousing. The company has invested in the delousing barge Marcus and an FLS delousing system for the service vessel Fosnasund.

A full-service provider

– Entering the delousing segment is an important strategic step. Customers have asked for gentle, effective delousing, says procurement lead Øystein Kjønhaug.

High maritime quality

Marcus is a large, modern barge with high standards throughout, from its steel construction and accommodation to the delousing system itself.

Fosnasund heads to Iceland

Fosnasund will be fitted with a Caligus R600 from FLS and will head to Iceland on a five-year agreement as a multipurpose vessel. The unit can be fitted and removed, making the vessel even more flexible.
