Nova Series

Developed in collaboration with leading industrial designers, the Nova series combines functionality, capacity, and modern design. With its clean and contemporary appearance, Nova blends naturally into the coastal environment while meeting the requirements of modern and efficient aquaculture operations. The series includes solutions for both large and smaller sites, with feed capacities ranging from 310 to 600 tonnes and the possibility of up to 16 feed lines. Nova is designed for operation in demanding conditions, with models adapted for sites with significant wave heights of up to 5.5 metres.

The barges are available in both Basic and LQ versions. The Basic version includes essential facilities such as a changing room, bathroom, lounge area with control station, and kitchen facilities. The LQ version provides space for cabins, offices, control rooms, workshops, veterinary rooms, and social areas.

Depending on size and configuration, Nova can be equipped with a trim system, ballast system, DFC20 coarse grinder, crane, and Hybrid Power System, which can reduce fuel consumption by up to 60%. The barges can also be delivered with insulated engine rooms for reduced noise levels, cast concrete floors for easier cleaning and accessibility, and substantial ensiling capacity.

The smallest model in the series is developed as an efficient feeding platform for remote operation and is particularly well suited as a satellite barge near a land base or a larger feed barge. Despite its compact format, it is equipped with a lounge area, kitchen, veterinary room, generous tank capacities, and a ballast system.

Tailored to Your Needs

The interior layout and fit-out can largely be customised according to customer requirements and operational needs. This makes it possible to tailor the barge with the right combination of crew facilities, technical rooms, storage capacity, and equipment for each individual site.
