Yokohama, 23 June 2025: Proximar Seafood AS ("Proximar" or the "Company") is
pleased to report that all modules in the grow-out building is back in
operation, and that full capacity is restored following repair works of the
biofilters.
The Company has scheduled to move fish into the last module this week, meaning
that Proximar is finally able to resume operations as required in all of the
four modules in the grow-out facility.
Since the biofilter incidents in Q4 2024, production has been constrained due to
limited capacity. This has also affected growth rates and average harvest
weights as previously communicated.
With all modules back in full functionality, growth rates and harvest sizes are
expected to gradually get back to the production plan through H2 2025.
The company expects harvest volumes around 3,000 tonnes HOG for 2025.
"Despite the reduced feeding which has impacted growth rates, we see stable
performance in the facility. The water quality remains good and stable, also at
high densities. This reaffirms our expectations for the targeted production
volumes going forward. Now that the grow-out is finally restored to full
production capacity after time-consuming repair works, we expect growth rates
and harvest sizes to gradually get back on track", says Joachim Nielsen, CEO of
Proximar.
