Yokohama, 21 November 2024: Proximar Seafood AS ("Proximar" or the "Company")
experienced yesterday a breach in the support for the bio media filter of the C
module. The breach has not resulted in mortality. Measures have been taken to
maintain adequate water quality, and biological levels have been stable since
the incident.
Standing biomass in the C module is approximately 300 tonnes, and the company is
starting to move the fish to another operative module, expected to be completed
within the next week. Startup of a new module, the D module, is moved forward
to compensate.
Module C will not be operational until repairs are completed. Selected batches
of fish will be harvested somewhat earlier than planned to free up capacity in
the operative modules and secure adequate fish health until module C has been
repaired. The harvesting plan for 2024 and 2025 is expected to be lowered by
around 5 percent, compared to previously communicated 4 700 tonnes HOG.
Proximar will also upgrade the other operative modules to avoid similar
incidents in the other three modules, however this is not expected to impact
production. Proximar has contacted the relevant insurance companies regarding
coverage for damages, repairs and relevant losses. The Company will revert with
updated information in its next trading update in early January 2025.
