Techano completes slipway system start-up

Techano have completed the start-up of a tiltable slipway system onboard an Akva Group delivered feeding barge for Arctic Offshore Farming. The slipway is designed for harsh weather operation (offshore northern Norway 365d/y) and has a unique heave compensation / wave dampening system. The slipway can also lift the boat out of water and into a horizontal position.

As part of the delivery, Techano is also supplying all cylinders for operation and locking of the water tight barge rear gate, a dual-pump HPU, butterfly valves and a touch-screen based control system for operation of the entire slipway area including HPU, rear gate, water control, lights and slipway.

Welcome onboard Havfarm I

Join Bladet Vesterålen and Nordlaks on a tour of Havfarm I («Jostein Albert»), where Techano have delived two Rail Mounted Service Units (RMSU) including four foldable cranes, two capstans, two offshore cranes and fish handling system for adding and removing fish from the farm.

From oil to aquaculture, offshore wind and fishery

Techano is today featured in the newspaper Fædrelandsvennen, in an article concerning our move from offshore oil and gas to aquaculture, offshore wind and fishery. The arcticle can be found at fvn.no by clicking here, or alternatively read as pdf here.

The gigantic Havfarm 1 will arrive in Vesterålen tomorrow morning.

It is a very good example of technology transfer from oil & gas to aquaculture.

Techano has played a major role in this technology transfer by supplying advanced rail mounted service units, cranes, systems for live fish handling etc.

Delivery to Arctic Offshore Farming

Techano is supplying 16 electric net handling winches, 4 electric capstan winches and 8 hydraulic chain jacks to Arctic Offshore Farming (AOF). AOF is developed by Norway Royal Salmon, and the equipment will be used on two of the upcoming AOF fish farms. More about the project can be found here.

All Techano equipment is designed for easy plug-and-play mobilization, enabling the need for only one equipment set that can be moved across several fish farms. The net handling winches and chain jacks are delivered with control systems that enable simultaneous operation of all winches/jacks. The net handling winches, each with holding capacity of 6 t, will be used for hoisting and lowering of the fish nets. The chain jacks, each with holding capacity of 100 t, will be used for maintenance of the bottom ring.

“Havfarmen” – the world’s largest fish farm for exposed waters

Techano wins order for equipment “Havfarmen”, the world’s largest fish farm for exposed waters

The Norwegian engineering company Techano AS, part of the Dutch Van Aalst Group of Companies, has secured a substantial contract to design and produce highly specialized offshore and marine equipment for the world’s largest floating aquaculture construction “Havfarmen”. Havfarmen is designed for exposed waters, and aims to make use of new areas for aquaculture.

 

“I am very pleased to announce that Techano was able to secure the order for two advanced Rail Mounted Service Units (RMSU) and an offshore crane.”

Øystein Bondevik, Commercial Director at Techano

 

The contract was entered with CIMC Raffles in Yantai, China. This yard has one of the world’s largest drydocks, with a length of 400 meters and a width of 120 metres. The agreement is for the first of two planned “Havfarm” units.

The 385 metres long and 59,5 metres wide aquaculture construction– owned and operated by the Norwegian aquaculturem company Nordlaks–is designed by NSK Ship Design, will hold up to 10.000 tonnes of fish. This first Havfarm will be permanently moored in a position southwest of Hadseløya in Nordland, Norway. The area has up until now been impossible to utilize for aquaculture.

The RMSU is unique and a bespoke design for this Havfarm, enabling the farm operators take care of aquaculture equipment and the fish in a safe and efficient manner. One RMSU will be mounted on rail on each side of the construction. Due to the outreach of 25 meters of the cranes on the RMSU, the full width of the six fish pens can be reached. A man basket can also allow operators to reach all parts of the pens, measuring 50 by 50 meters on the surface. Furthermore, the RMSU allows for ROV support and control.

Wijnand van Aalst, CEO of the Van Aalst Group, said “Techano’s knowledge of the fish farm industry and offshore cranes in combination with Van Aalst’s knowledge of gantry mounted crane units have proved to be a winning combination in this case. Moreover, the Van Aalst Group is a regular supplier to CIMC Raffles. Entering the rapid developing offshore fish farm market, establishing strong foothold in Norway and a jumpstart in the specialized 3D offshore cranes were our main drivers to invest in Techano. With this ‘milestone’ contract, the mutual vision of Techano and Van Aalst receives a flying start.”
