Onnest have now found its home
We are doing aquaculture on land and not in the sea. The fish farming industry has taken major technological steps the last decade or so, enabling large volumes of fish to be farmed on land. By doing this, we can improve fish welfare aspects since we can control the environment the trout lives in.
Still, it is not indifferent where a fish farming site is placed, since important input factors like water, energy, infrastructure andnot the least, the right people must be accessible.
Onnest have now found its home in the area next to Egebakken and Hirtshals Transport Center in Hirtshals. We have entered into apurchase agreement with Hjørring municipality for approximately 85,000 m2 of land regulated for aquaculture. The Onnest site and its localisation have been discussed for some time, and the parties have now finally formalized an agreement that will mark the start of our development plans.
As such, this agreement is therefore the result of the much-appreciated cooperation with Hjørring municipality. Their continuous support is and has been an important success factor for the Onnest business case so far.
The property itself is well placed for realising our vision on the future of aquaculture, and it can accommodate both our short-term development work and our long-term expansion plans. Moreover, we also hope its central location will spark curiosity and interest from both the local community and visitors alike. We think this is going to be a good home.
We look forward to sharing more of our plans once our development and planning work gets up.
