Over the past six years, DOKK Husøy has produced and delivered more than 40 concrete barges, establishing itself as a reliable and experienced supplier with documented quality and performance. Based in Husøy, in the municipality of Karmøy, Rogaland, the company will now serve as a key collaborator for AKVA group within the growing concrete barge segment.

“AKVA group aims to meet the market as a comprehensive supplier of barge solutions. Concrete represents a growing share of the total market, and this partnership better equips us to offer customers what they actually demand — regardless of material choice,” says Erlend Røed Gundersen, COO of AKVA group.

“We are proud to enter into a partnership with AKVA group. They hold a strong position in the market and have a clear ambition to be a total supplier. Together, we can offer robust and proven concrete solutions to a broader range of markets,” says Arnt Ove Tangsgjerd, Managing Director of DOKK Husøy.
