The contract includes the handling of raw material for the new Australis Mar factory in Puerto Natales, in the Magallanes region and the Chilean Antarctic. Parts of the plant will be operational in one year, and it is expected to be fully operational by 2020/2021.

Stranda will provide, among other things, pump solutions "from the sea to the factory", the HeliXir Ultrafresh tank, bleeding equipment, several large Super HeliX cooling tanks, central aspiration, and a water and energy saving system.

"This contract is a breakthrough for the company's approach to exports and new technologies," said Stranda Prolog CEO Klaus Hoseth.

"For decades, we have focused on systems for better fish welfare, better quality raw materials and a more environmentally friendly production. Australis realized this, we had a good dialogue and we were able to consolidate the project more and more," he added.

All the equipment in Stranda Prolog's delivery will be built in Kristiansund and sent by cargo ship via the freight terminal at Høgset in three shipments. These are large quantities: Six HeliX tanks, each the size of a housing, as well as 30-40 containers of other equipment.
