The project is based on a Semi-Submersible platform that can withstand extreme ocean conditions and ensure its performance, sustainability and survivability. This will enable to operate in the open sea while achieving the following benefits:

  • Fish farming in their natural environment with advantages of good quality, variety of species, fast growth, etc.
  • The farming will exploit the open sea unused natural resources and areas, thus allowing fast expansion and scalability.
  • The technology will causing minor environmental and ecological intervention.
  • Increasing food security on a large global scale of high quality protein sorce.

There is an evolving gap between the supply and the demand for fish and seafood products. On one hand, the demand is consistently growing, driven by various vectors, such as population expansion, rise of purchasing power, maturing tastes, latest trends and others.

On the other hand, striving to meet the rapidly growing demand, the existing inefficient supply methods are facing numerous challenges: ecological barriers, climate changes, gas &oil and other industrial pollutions and the increasing input costs, resulting in lesser capacity and constant pressure on the supply.

The shortage of the supplies results in higher prices for mariculture products and higher incentives for developing innovative and efficient solutions for the fishing industry. Per capita fish consumption is expected to continue to increase on all continents, except Africa, with the decline concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa (-0.7% p.a. over the next decade), due to the population increasing more than supply. This raises potential nutritional concerns in the region, as fish represents an important source of animal proteins.

The project uniqueness is based on a Semi-Submersible platform that can withstand extreme ocean conditions. Currently, the platform’s technological basis is extant, proven and extensively used in a few operations, like offshore oil and gas drilling. The platform’s features ensure its performance, sustainability and survivability. The platform will be manned and operated 24/7 and will enable full control and supervision over the entire growth process. The system is built to serve as the world’s leading cost-efficient sea farming method, both in the setup and the on-going operational phases.

All of the platform components and technologies already exist and operate separately in different industries and environments – this fact is a substantial advantage since the platforms development is focused on implementing existing technologies and mariculture machinery, connecting them to the platform and integrating them with one another. The strength’s of this system including but not limited to; as it is Eco-Friendly innovative technology enabling massive fish & seafood farming, is capable to handle sea extreme conditions, tested by Ecole de Nantes (France) & Marin (Netherlands) and classified by DNV-GL, a close farming Eco-system keeping the environment safe and enriching the Flora & Fauna as well as is built to serve as the world’s leading cost-efficient sea farming method, both in the setup and the on-going operational phases.

The system enable; natural  and may be offered at a premium price (the sea currents and the low density eliminate the need to use additives and other substances, such as antibiotics and oxygen), it offers various species, reliable and consistent supply of the products to the market, additional products & sectors such as various types of seaweed and algae, crustaceans and seafood, sea anemones as well as other products for various industries such as food, cosmetics, and medical/pharmaceutical purposes at a negligible additional cost, expansion & scalability – the system enables the exploitation of the open sea unused natural resources and areas allowing rapid expansion, scalability and large-scale operations on an unprecedented scale, it exploit the unutilized marine natural resources, the system caters the most urgent global demands such as food security, ecology, environment and is in-line with recent values and Impact Investments guidelines, thus complying with principles supported by major institutes, funds and grants.
