Publication of the recommended design standard for offshore and nearshore seaweed farm
2023-06-02
To support the seaweed industry North Sea Farmers have taken the initiative to develop a design standard for offshore and nearshore seaweed farms. Together with DNV, Aqitec, Van Oord and with the financial support of Invest-NL we have completed the first step: The 'Recommended design practice for offshore & nearshore seaweed growing systems'.
First step to industry wide standard
Our goal is to provide guidance and establish a recommended design practice that can be certified by independent parties. By doing so, we aim to facilitate successful permit applications, insurance coverage, and attract investments to the industry. The Recommended Design Practice represents our first step towards developing an industry-wide standard.
Feedback
We encourage all seaweed growing system designers to utilize this guideline and provide feedback to help us improve and develop this practice into a comprehensive standard. Your input will contribute to enhancing safety and cost-effectiveness in the industry. Here you can find more information about the Recommended Design Standard. Download the complete document here.
