Astican and the development of open-ocean aquaculture facilities.
Astican is a ship repair yard whose activity does not only entail repairing, maintaining and converting all types of vessels but also structures and marine renewable energy devices, as well as offshore units.
ASTICAN is currently in charge of the project management of the marine expansion work of a ground-breaking company within the Spanish marine aquaculture sector.
The construction of 72, 30-metre in diameter, hatcheries, made of polyethylene, using thermofusion welding is underway.
Today, aquaculture in Europe is a sustainable progress model, solidly backed both, scientifically and technologically. Fish production using modern aquaculture systems has been a success when it comes to developing a new and innovative financial activity that is key in Blue Growth.
The project management is in charge of supervising the manufacturing of these hatcheries as well as of the installation work with technical advice of mooring studies for each group of hatcheries in order to install them in the different locations.
In an offshore aquaculture installation, one of the essential parts is mooring, since it is responsible for maintaining the position of that hatcheries intact when faced with adverse weather conditions, such as wind, strong currents, waves, tides, etc.
This pioneering company in the marine aquaculture sector, exclusively breeds high quality seabass chosen by internationally renowned chefs and sold in top of the range restaurants in more than 25 countries.
This is done in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
This expansion project not only involves the hatcheries but also includes the construction of two feeding platforms in Vietnam and a series of support vessels for the hatcheries, some of which are being built at ASTICAN.
