Built on people, vessels and operational excellence

We have been a pioneer in the service vessel industry from the beginning. We were the first to offer net cleaning and, in the early 2000s, operated what was probably the industry's first permanently crewed service vessel. Our continued focus on our customers and safe, efficient operations has helped us grow into one of the world's largest service vessel companies.

Safer operations. Healthier fish. Greater responsibility.

For us at Abyss, good operations mean protecting people, fish, the environment and facilities. We therefore work systematically with HSE, fish welfare, biosecurity and sustainability when planning, delivering and following up our operations.

01

HSE and safety

Marine operations require clear procedures, good communication and capable crews. HSE is therefore integral to the planning and delivery of every assignment.

02

Fish welfare and biosecurity

When we work closely with fish and facilities, quality means gentle handling, a smooth process and control. We emphasise procedures that reduce the risk of stress, disease transmission and incidents.

03

Sustainable development

We work to provide services that support a more responsible aquaculture industry, focusing on efficient operations, safe delivery and solutions that consider people, the environment and value creation.

Documented quality

Certifications, vessel instructions and documented procedures are an important part of how we ensures safe, predictable delivery. They give clients confidence that operations are carried out with the right capacity, control and compliance.
