It could be the start of a sustainable revolution for the Norwegian salmon farming industry, following the design of an aquaculture ship that will move salmon farming further offshore where sea lice and waste build up will no longer be serious problems.
In conjunction with Nordlaks, NSK Ship Design has designed the ship known as Havfarm (Ocean Farm), which measures 430 metres in length and 54 metres wide.
The ship is designed to be anchored to the seafloor using the offshore industry's technological solutions which can withstand very tough conditions at sea, including waves 10 metres high.
The ocean farm itself will extend ten metres below sea level and contain six cages which in total can hold over two million fish.
