Aquaculture technology firm GroAqua has begun towing what it describes as the world’s largest fish feed barge to a Bakkafrost salmon farming site, where it is expected to go into immediate operation.
The unit, first announced in late 2024, has a reported feed capacity of 1,100 tonnes and is equipped with 24 feeding lines—allowing for simultaneous feeding of 24 pens. It is one of three identical barges GroAqua is building for the Faroese salmon farmer, with delivery scheduled across 2025.
The barge will operate autonomously using GroAqua’s FishFeeder and GroVision systems, without requiring crew on board. It was constructed at GroAqua’s facility in Poland and is designed for long-term deployment at exposed sites.
