FISH FARMING CAGES FISH FARMING CAGES KJ has produced Offshore Fish Farming Cages since the early 1990’s. The cages are specially designed for the most exposed conditions around the world. The steel bracket is the most used bracket in the Faroe Islands, strong and solid and easy to install, this is the best solution for the strongest cages. Tested in rough and harsh conditions of the shores of the Faroe Islands.

Double or triple floating pipes in PE100 polyethylene plastic. Plastic bushings between the steel brackets and the floating pipes increase the service life of the cage and makes the pipes self-cleaning from growth. Polystyrene or Styrofoam core makes the
secondary safety system all around the circumference secures the assets if a fracture or damage to the floating tubes were to occur.
