Remora Robotics has successfully completed its first international delivery, installing two autonomous net cleaning robots at a salmon farming site in Chile. This milestone marks a significant expansion of Remora’s mission to enhance fish welfare and operational efficiency across the globe.
– This is our first step internationally. We see growing interest in our technology, and it’s exciting — not only for Remora, but for fish welfare around the world, says Remora Robotics CEO Svein Erik Gregersen
The robots were installed at a site in Alao Oeste in November 2024 by Remora’s Customer Success Manager Hermund-Thomas Otterlei. Since then, the units have been in continuous operation, with performance closely monitored from Remora’s control center in Stavanger.
Proven technology goes global
Chile is the world’s second-largest producer of farmed salmon, with a growing focus on sustainability and regulatory innovation. Frequent net cleaning is essential to maintaining good water flow and fish health, but traditional high-pressure washing methods can be costly, stressful for the fish, and environmentally taxing.
Remora’s autonomous robots offer a gentler, continuous cleaning alternative that supports both biofouling control and welfare outcomes — without the need for chemicals or repeated net replacements.
– Norway has made great progress in sustainable aquaculture, and with Remora Robotics we’re building on that, both at home and now in Chile. It’s meaningful to contribute to this technological shift, says Otterlei.
This first international deployment shows that Remora’s technology is not just effective — it’s adaptable. With a strong commitment to innovation and welfare, Remora Robotics is now looking beyond borders, ready to support aquaculture operators wherever fish welfare matters.
