Jotun Coatings provides 25 years of splash zone protection for the world's largest “smart deep sea fishery”

It is reported that this sea super giant has a diameter of 110 meters and a height of 69 meters. It can raise 1.5 million salmon a year and was designed and built by Somale by Qingdao Wuchuan Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. The intelligent fishery is equivalent to the height of 20 multi-storey buildings on the ground. When it reaches the deep sea, it will “float” on the sea surface. It can withstand 12 typhoons and has a design life of 25 years. It is the “epoch-making” equipment for deep-sea culture. It is also a typical case of deep docking between Norwegian deep sea aquaculture and “Made in China”.

SALMAR will use this super fishery to carry out salmon farming in the water depths of 100 to 300 meters in the North Sea and export it to the Chinese market. The Chinese-made artifacts will allow the Chinese to eat more high-quality deep-sea salmon in the future.

In order to ensure that this “super fishery” can withstand the harsh marine corrosive environment, Somar uses the Jotun Batloflake coating system to create splash zone corrosion protection, and the Jotun company provides 25 years of splash zone corrosion protection and 15 years of other parts. guarantee.

The Jotun Baltoflake coating system has passed the NORSOK M-501 system 7 pre-certification for marine engineering anti-corrosion evaluation and the NORSOK M-501 system 1 pre-certification. It is suitable for the splash zone and the marine atmosphere, with its superior anti-corrosion and resistance. Grinding performance is considered the perfect protection against the most severe natural environmental impacts. Compared to traditional epoxy coatings, Baltoflake is more environmentally friendly and can reduce VOC emissions by 60% over a 25 year design life. The Ekofisk field in the Norwegian North Sea is also used for this product and has a maintenance-free record for nearly 40 years in the splash zone of offshore facilities in the harshest environments.

Since the 1960s, Jotun has protected thousands of offshore engineering facilities around the world. At present, with the normalization of Sino-Norwegian relations, high-tech equipment combining Chinese manufacturing and Norwegian innovation has brought huge space for the development of marine fisheries. Sommer has signed an intent contract with Qingdao Wuchuan for five fishery projects. Jotun will continue to provide the best protection for the marine aquaculture industry with its rich marine engineering anti-corrosion experience and high-performance coating systems.
