AKVA group have delivered a feed barge in the Greece and Mediterranean area, following on from fish producer Philosofish choosing AVKA group as a supplier of an AM400 classic feed barge.
The feed barge will assist with increasing the production of Philosofish's production of bass and bream on their Rhodes Island site to approximately 2000 tonnes. It measures around 32 metres in length and boasts 10 silos, four feeding lines, remote control capability and is able to distribute feed up to 40 pens with 4 feeding lines.
"Philosofish is a solid, well-run company that has had a great development in recent years," says Bruno Polichetti, General Manager at AKVA group Hellas. "It is great recognition for AKVA group that they are ordering a state-of-the-art feed barge for the Mediterranean."

AKVA group has 30 years of experience in the Greek market mostly with delivering feed systems. Historically, the feed barges delivered were small and locally built. The deliverance of the AM400 classic feed barge will change this.
"We now see a trend in Greece to invest in larger feed barges," explains Polichetti.
Philosofish acquired new sites as of 2020, increasing its total production capacity from 5000 to 20,000 tonnes annually, in a move to position itself as a leading supplier of Mediterranean sea bass and sea bream. It has 27 sites located in central Greece and the Dodecanese.
AKVA group also offers a range of feed systems, integrated with camera control and environmental sensors. Philosofish has their Akva Control CCS Feed System installed in four of their sites.
