Napier AS is a growing company specializing in aquaculture logistics, employing over 100 people. The company currently operates five vessels and maintains its administration in Langevåg, Bømlo. Napier has expanded significantly in recent years, taking delivery of several newbuildings and placing additional orders with foreign shipyards to further modernize its fleet. Its vessels operate along the entire Norwegian coast, serving routes from Agder in the south up to Bodø in the north.
The company's vessels are uniquely named after cities or areas in New Zealand. This tradition stems from the founder of Napier, Bernt Arne Eidesvik, who had a special connection with the country and named the first vessel, Tauranga, after a specific city. This naming convention has been continued with all subsequent vessels.
Napier serves fish farmers who require the sustainable and profitable transport of farmed fish with a focus on high fish welfare, moving them efficiently from the cage to the slaughterhouse. Leveraging its knowledge and experience, the company has developed innovative, groundbreaking solutions and built a dedicated fleet and organizational structure to operate these specialized services.
