WIND FORCE WATER CURRENT Aqualine started supplying floating collars to the aquaculture industry in the toughest and most demanding maritime areas of the world over 35 years ago. We now supply complete cages with floating collar, cage net and mooring. Each component is individually assembled. We recommend that everything fits and works together. The climate above and below the water surface at a given location dictates the choice of solution and composition of the components for a safe, secure facility. Research and development take place in close consultation with the customer and leading research...

The forces of nature mean no room for error. No compromise is permitted at sea when it comes to safety. That's why we always work to a predefined plan according to a set timetable. Our personnel have the experience and know-how regarding aquaculture, environmental forces and offshore installations, aided by advanced analysis tools. THE PROCESS ENSURES A GOOD RESULT Regardless of whether you order a complete facility with floating cage collar, mooring and cage net, or one of the component parts. Our recommendations have to be good, and individually justified, with all possible aspects assessed...

THE PERFECT CAGE NET A perfect cage net for a given location and for a given facility will not necessarily be suitable elsewhere. All Midgard® solutions feature a customized floating cage collar and mooring. They don't get any better. We suggest cage nets as near perfect as possible according to the conditions they will be used in and according to the type of facility. Local conditions out here at Suholmen are extreme, especially wave height. That makes it extremely important that the cage collar and net fit well together. A turnkey supplier able to provide complete solutions is the only way...

Aqualine supplies minimum over-dimensioning on nets, meaning less risk of abrasion and reduced wear. No machine can sew netting to such tough framing ropes as we use. HAND-SEWN, CORRECTLY DIMENSIONED CAGE NETS PROVIDE THE PERFECT FIT FROM DAY 1 A LEADING INTERNATIONAL PARTNER The practice of supplying quickly assembled machine sewn, overdimensioned cage nets has long been common practice in Norway. Over dimensioning being done to ensure the nets still fit after several cycles of washing, cleaning and subsequent shrinkage. This results in badly fitting nets which are too large for almost their...

All our netting materials are certified by the quality assurance system NS 9415. STRONG NET DESIGNS ASSEMBLED FROM ALL KINDS OF NETTING MATERIALS The cage nets used in production are now bigger, deeper and heavier, and are exposed to a totally different range of physical loads. Consequently the requirements for inspections, maintenance and service are becoming tougher. It’s therefore more important than ever to choose the right net design. Aqualine works closely with customers and suppliers to identify the best solutions. NEWS! AQUALINE ULTIMA-SG Aqualine ULTIMA-SG is a newly-developed netting...

CONVERSION TABLE NYLON TWINE NUMBER CHOICE OF CAGE NET DESIGN AQUALINE The cage net is a vital part of the whole system, and should fit and compliment the rest of the facility as best as possible. We know customer criteria and preferences vary, and that a complete facility is not always required. Nor are the most expensive and solid alternatives needed. That does not mean that we compromise on quality and requirements, but that we recommend designs and materials on the basis of what is sensibly balanced and applicable for each instance.
