Fish farming group Alsaker Fjordbruk has ordered a new live fish carrier from Spanish shipbuilders Astilleros de Murueta.

Alsaker is a vertically integrated fish farming group and is one of the largest privately-owned players in the production of smolt and salmon.

The new vessel will be 90.7 metres long, 18.6 metres wide and will have a well capacity of more than 5,000 cubic metres.

The live fish carrier is expected to be delivered in 2020.
