The Marine Harvest Inter Caledonia Live Fish Carrier Moored in Loch Ceann Dibig Outside the Port of Tarbert, Isle of Harris.
MARINE Harvest Scotland latest new wellboat that will use state of the art engineering to combat sea lice and a range of fish diseases. The 70m vessel, with a 2,000 cubic metre capacity, was launched at Corpach pier, near the company’s headquarters in Fort William, after making a two-month journey from the Turkish yard where it was built. The wellboat, named Inter Caledonia, is a first for Scotland in that it will use reverse osmosis technology to eradicate sea lice and prevent the development of Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD). She has the capacity to carry up to 300 tonnes of live fish at any one time and will be able to treat 24/7 as a result of the desalination system, which will continuously exchange water at the rate of 200 cubic metres every hour. She will be able to completely fill her wells every ten hours, allowing the fish to be bathed in freshwater.
