Ava Ocean completed the Arctic Pearl refit and prepared the vessel to sail for the first Arctic scallop harvest in Norwegian waters in three decades.

  • The former offshore vessel was rebuilt around Ava Ocean's low-impact seabed harvesting system.
  • The vessel carried a research quota covering up to 15,000 tonnes of Arctic scallops per year for five years.
  • The program included continuing impact research with the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research.

Ava Ocean develops seabed harvesting technology designed to collect seafood resources while monitoring and protecting marine ecosystems. Founded in Ålesund, the company combines specialised vessels, sensors and precision subsea equipment for selective ocean operations.
