Salmon are raised from eggs to juvenile smolts in land-based hatcheries, after which they are traditionally transferred to sea pens. One of the challenges with this process is that the
BSW Group members, BSW Timber and Scott Pallets have joined forces to design and produce innovative timber pallets which will help Mowi to reduce its carbon emissions. 65,000 tonnes of fresh salmon is chilled, packed and shipped throughout the UK and abroad from Mowi’s flagship production facility, Blar Mhor, on timber pallets.

Since Ocean Matters was founded in 2015, lumpfish have been transported by lorry to salmon sites in Scotland, Ireland and even to the Faroe Islands. The typical load per trip usually allows for between three or four pens to be stocked. By contrast, all Mowi sites in Norway are stocked with cleanerfish via wellboat. The
Expansion of Mowi’s Blar Mhor salmon processing facility in Fort William is in full swing. When complete, the upgrade, which includes the installation of state-of-the-art robotic technologies for handling and grading salmon, will enable the facility to process and pack 200 fish per minute, and increase plant capacity to >80,000 tonnes annually.
