Flexilink®

- hardware free mooring grid

Flexilink® mooring grid is made from fiber and contains no hardware components. This eliminates mechanical breakage and secures against damages and escapes. We have delivered more than 300 successful installations for fish farmers in Norway, Canada and Scotland since the launch in 2012.

Flexilink® shows minimal signs of damage, even after several years in the sea. Inspections are performed on longer intervals, and installation is performed far more efficient than for traditional mooring systems.

Satisfied fish farmer

Arnøylaks was one of the first fish farmers to have Flexilink® installed (2013), and it turned out to be a successful solution for them. At their most exposed location in Skjervøy, which has very strong currents and movements from waves, Flexilink® now safeguards 3rd generation on this site.

Even after several years in the sea, the mooring looks exactly the same as when we had it installed. This has saved us from a lot of hassle and costs for maintenance, he says. We are considering a new Flexilink system for another exposed site.
