Ocea AS , an established supplier of technology to the fish farming and aquaculture industries world-wide, has purchased the rights and drawings for the Risnes Marine Partner (RMP) workboats. All RMP employees are now employed by Ocea. The boats will largely be produced and fitted at Ocea's partner-yard in Estonia.

The workboats from RMP are constructed and built to last, with an emphasis on strength and safety. By introducing the boats under the Ocea brand, the company is fulfilling the demand from the industry for greater capacity workboats with stability and greater speed. The workboats are available in various sizes and constellations up to 15 meter length.

They are produced under the regulations of Nordisk Båtstandard (Nordic Boat Standard) for professional vessels. The boats are built in steel with aluminium pilot house. This provides for a strong and robust workboat – built to last. The hulls – having a high cruising potential, up to 20 knots - are developed in cooperation with Vik Sandvik AS.

"We are now becoming an even more complete supplier of equipment to the aquaculture business", says Ocea AS managing director Mons-Ove Hauge. "The aquaculture facilities are growing larger and the constructions heavier. Larger, more stable workboats supplied with crane has become a necessity in modern fish farming", says Hauge.
