COMPONENTS
01. TRANSPORTATION PODS
The tanks are used for transporting food
as well as live smolt and fish. On site,
they are used for food storage, docked to
the windmill and attached to the food
distribution system. The tanks are multi-purpose,
and have buoyancy regulation
to allow submerging and surfacing on
demand.
To deliver smolt and pick up harvest
ready fish, they are connected to the cages
in a submerged state. Physical reduction
of space in cage or container is combined
with more fish-friendly techniques like
electromagnetic manipulation and controlled
feeding to move the fish between
cage and tank.
03. WINDMILL
The windmill is a lot taller than onshore
ones, being 250 metres tall.
It is therefore able to generate a lot of
power, and is a sustainable source of
energy for both the fish farm and locations
on the mainland. The feeding system
is centred at the windmill. The windmill
also pumps air into the cage for the
features where this is needed.
02. CATAMARAN
Tanks are transported by nimble
catamarans - becoming trimarans when
grasping onto the semi-boatshaped tank.
These catamarans avoid the added weight
needed to store the container in the ship;
iAnstead it is simply docked to the ship.
The catamarans have a sail capability, and
electric propulsion that they can recharge
at the windmill.
