Abyss strengthens its salmon escape preparedness
30 submersible net panels and an updated emergency response plan enable a faster response to suspected salmon escapes.
In brief
30 submersible net panels and an updated emergency response plan enable a faster response to suspected salmon escapes.
Escapes of farmed salmon are a major environmental challenge. Abyss has invested in 30 submersible net panels from Egersund Net, carried on vessels along the Norwegian coast.
The panels can be deployed immediately if holes are found in netting and are a voluntary, proactive measure.
A robust delivery
The delivery has been completed with Egersund Net and Akva Group. The panels are deployed during emergency response operations to close holes quickly and limit environmental impact.
An updated emergency response plan
The plan covers notification, response and documentation. The skipper notifies the customer and operations centre, and the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries must be notified within two hours. Incidents are logged in RAYVN.
Taking responsibility for the industry
The measure supports Abyss’ principle of ‘Good Operations’: zero harm to people, the environment and equipment.
