Aquaculture
The aquaculture sector operates a growing fleet of purpose-built support vessels, and ACL is one of the few specialist brokers with genuine expertise in this emerging and fast-moving market.
Overview
Aquaculture – and salmon farming in particular – has developed a sophisticated fleet of purpose-designed vessels to support cage operations: well boats for live fish transport, service vessels, feed barges, net cleaners and workboats. These are highly specialised assets that require brokers with specific sector knowledge.
ACL has built relationships with leading operators in Norway, Canada, Scotland, Chile and beyond, giving us unparalleled access to buyers and sellers in a market that is not well served by generalist brokers. We understand the biological, regulatory and operational constraints that shape vessel specifications, and we use that understanding to broker smarter deals.
As the global aquaculture industry continues to expand – driven by rising demand for sustainable protein – the fleet supporting it will grow and renew. ACL is positioned to be the broker of choice for owners and operators navigating this transition.
