Sjótækni has introduced a new cleaning robot to clean the fishfarming nets in the cages. The robot is a Stealth Cleaner from the company Ocein in Norway. The robot is beltless and uses low pressure, which means that its use requires less oil consumption and prevents the net from tearing. Sjótækni's purchase of this device is one part of implementing the company's environmental policy, which stipulates that efforts shall be made to reduce energy consumption as much as possible in order to reduce the company's environmental impact. Sjótækni has an environmental certification according to the international environmental standard ISO 14001 and received its certification renewed this spring as well as passing certification according to the international safety standard ISO 45001.
