Meet Skarsvaag at AquaNext 2026

On 22–23 September, Skarsvaag Boats will be at AquaNext in Stavanger. We look forward to two days of conversations about aquaculture, technology and how the right vessel can contribute to safer and more efficient operations at sea.

At Skarsvaag, the development of a workboat does not start with a standard solution.

It starts with the operation.

How will the vessel be used? What tasks does it need to perform? How does the crew work on board? What equipment needs to be integrated? And how can the vessel contribute to better workflow, safety and efficiency throughout many years of operation?

That is why AquaNext is such a good fit for us.

Built around the job to be done

Kai Egil Skarsvåg is one of the people you can meet at AquaNext in Stavanger.

Skarsvaag develops and builds workboats for demanding professional operations, including aquaculture and service, diving, ROV operations and other specialised maritime applications.

We believe the best solutions are developed in close collaboration with the people who will actually use the vessel.

That is why we like to start with one question:

What does your boat need to do for you?

The answer forms the basis for everything that follows. Deck layout, equipment, lifting capacity, working areas, propulsion and other technical choices all need to be considered in the context of the actual operation.

These are exactly the kinds of conversations we want to have at AquaNext.

Growth through collaboration

This year’s AquaNext theme is “Growth – together!”, with collaboration between the aquaculture industry, suppliers, research and knowledge communities, and public authorities at the heart of the programme.

It is an approach we strongly identify with.

For us, a good vessel is about more than the delivery itself. It is about understanding the customer’s needs, developing the right solutions together and building a working tool that performs every day, including when conditions are demanding.
