The agreement ensures operational stability in Senja, facilitates cod farming growth in Northern Norway, and preserves jobs at the Rubbestad facility

KIME Akva has finalized a long-term lease agreement with Lerøy Aurora to take over management and production at the cod fry facility located in Rubbestad, Senja. This strategic agreement provides predictability for the company's operations and lays the foundation for expanding its presence in Northern Norway.

The infrastructure at Rubbestad, previously utilized for the production of salmon smolt, catfish, and lumpfish, stands out for its strategic location and extensive water and electricity capacity. As explained by Ørjan Jensen, CEO of KIME Akva, securing access to a modern facility with these resources is essential to ensure stable, long-term fingerling production.

 

Representatives from Lerøy Aurora highlighted that leasing the operational building and associated assets to KIME Akva will maintain continuous economic activity and local value creation in Rubbestad, which was a crucial factor in finalizing the deal.

Logistical advantages and retention of specialized talent

The facility's location on the island of Senja offers significant operational and logistical benefits by linking hatchery production closely with the company's head office and marine farm sites. This geographic proximity will optimize operational synergy and overall supply chain efficiency.

As part of the transition, the majority of the facility's workforce has chosen to join KIME Akva. Johan Munch-Ellingsen, hatchery production manager, emphasized the high value of the technical expertise and experience brought by the Rubbestad team, noting that the immediate priority is ensuring a smooth transition for both operational systems and personnel.

Expansion prospects and local development

Through this long-term arrangement, KIME Akva consolidates comprehensive control over its value chain within the farmed cod sector. Having operated at the Rubbestad site for nearly two years, the company has commenced evaluations for infrastructure developments to boost production capacity, a move expected to generate additional employment in the municipality.

KIME Akva社、タラ稚魚生産施設を巡りLerøy Aurora社と長期賃貸借契約を締結

本合意によりセンヤ島における操業の安定性を確保し、北ノルウェーでのタラ養殖拡大を促進するとともにルッベスタッド施設の雇用を維持

KIME Akva社は、センヤ島のルッベスタッドに位置するタラ稚魚生産施設の管理および生産を引き継ぐため、Lerøy Aurora社と長期賃貸借契約を正式に締結しました。この戦略的合意により、同社の事業運営に予見可能性がもたらされ、北ノルウェーにおけるプレゼンス拡大に向けた重要な基盤が確立されます。

過去にサケ幼魚(スモルト)、ナマズ、ダンゴウオの生産に使用されていたルッベスタッドのインフラ施設は、戦略的に優れた立地と豊富な水・電力供給能力を備えています。KIME Akva社の最高経営責任者(CEO)であるØrjan Jensen氏は、これらのリソースを備えた近代的な施設を確保することは、長期的かつ安定した稚魚生産を保証するために不可欠であると説明しています。

Lerøy Aurora社側は、事業用建物および関連資産をKIME Akva社へ賃貸することで、ルッベスタッドにおける経済活動と地域価値の創造が継続されることが合意の決定打となったと強調しました。

物流上の優位性と専門人材の定着

センヤ島という施設の立地は、孵化場生産、本社、および海上養殖場を近接させることで、大きな業務上・物流上のメリットをもたらします。この地理的近接性により、部門間の連携とサプライチェーン全体の効率化が最適化されます。

この移行の一環として、同施設の従業員の大部分がKIME Akva社への移籍を選択しました。種苗生産マネージャーであるJohan Munch-Ellingsen氏は、ルッベスタッドのチームが持つ技術的専門知識と経験の価値を強調し、現在の最優先事項は移行期間中にすべての運用システムと従業員を適切にサポートすることであると述べました。

拡張の展望と地域振興

この長期合意により、KIME Akva社は養殖タラ分野におけるバリューチェーン全体への管理体制を強化します。同社はルッベスタッドの施設で約2年間操業を続けており、生産能力を増強するための最適な施設開発手法の調査を既に開始しています。これにより、同自治体において更なる雇用創出が期待されています。

KIME Akva与Lerøy Aurora达成鳕鱼苗生产设施长期租赁协议

该协议确保了塞尼亚岛运营的稳定性,促进了挪威北部鳕鱼养殖业务的增长,并保留了鲁贝斯塔德设施的就业岗位

KIME Akva已与Lerøy Aurora正式签署长期租赁协议,接管位于塞尼亚岛****鲁贝斯塔德的鳕鱼苗生产设施的运营与生产。该战略协议为公司的运营提供了可预测性,并为扩大其在挪威北部的业务奠定了重要基础。

鲁贝斯塔德的设施此前曾用于生产三文鱼幼鱼、狼鱼及圆鳍鱼,拥有战略性的地理位置以及充足的水电供应能力。正如KIME Akva首席执行官Ørjan Jensen所言,获得具备此类资源优势的现代化设施,对于确保指鱼产品的长期稳定生产至关重要。

Lerøy Aurora方面表示,将运营大楼及相关资产租赁给KIME Akva有助于保持鲁贝斯塔德当地经济活动的持续性与价值创造,这也是促成本次协议的关键因素。

物流优势与专业人才留任

该设施位于塞尼亚岛,使孵化生产、总部与海上养殖基地紧密连接,带来了显著的运营与物流优势。地理上的邻近性将显著提升各环节之间的协同效率与整体运营效益。

作为协议的一部分,该设施的大部分员工已选择转入KIME Akva。种苗生产经理Johan Munch-Ellingsen强调了鲁贝斯塔德团队专业技术与经验的巨大价值,并指出当前的重点是确保所有运营系统和员工在过渡阶段得到妥善安排。

扩张前景与地方发展

凭借这项长期协议,KIME Akva进一步巩固了其对养殖鳕鱼全产业链的控制力。公司在鲁贝斯塔德设施已运营近2年,目前已着手评估改善与升级设施的最佳方案,以进一步提高产能。预计这一举措将为当地社区创造更多就业岗位。
