Advanced processing

Our processing facilites are generally designed around Programmable Logic Controls. We use computers for automation of the electromechanical processes involved in processing and distributing our salmon and trout using assembly lines. This advanced machinery requires daily maintainance and regular observation by our experienced employees around the world.

 

For example, our smolt and harvesting plants in Finnmark have recently gone through an extensive modernization process, and have increased their annual production capacity to 28.000 tons gutted weight.

Water recirculation

At our hatchery in British Columbia, we have installed a state-of-the art recirculation system. This system provides an energy efficient stream of water at 14°C, increasing average smolt size and decreasing production time considerably. When ready, the smolts are entered into our sea sites, where they grow for about two years.

 

Effective harvesting

Using two dedicated harvesting vessels, market fish are delivered directly to a processing plant and from there, shipped directly to market within 72 hours. Through this process, Grieg Seafood BC is able to provide fresh fish to customers in Los Angeles, Toronto, or even Tokyo – all year round.
