Feed barge configurator

ScaleAQ has considerable expertise and experience in the development and construction of feeding barges for all types of aquaculture. It is essential that the barge is customised to the site where it is to be deployed. Exposed locations demand barges that can withstand harsh conditions, while sites further into the fjord may cope with more basic structures. See our selection of feed barges or start the configurator.

Our barges are also supplied with the market’s best software for feeding. Feedstation is designed for flexible remote feeding and offers very high levels of operational security and open APIs. Open APIs mean that the system can receive and send control signals to other systems and send production data in real-time to wherever the customer wants it. Read more about FeedStation here
