Remora Robotics nets €13.9 million to scale AI net-cleaning capacity

Remora Robotics* combines automated net cleaning with AI-powered inspection, representing a significant technological step forward for a more sustainable and efficient fish-farming industry. 

Autonomous net cleaning supports fish health by maintaining cleaner nets, which helps to create better conditions for gill health and reduces stress levels. At the same time, it lowers the biological risks associated with traditional high-pressure cleaning and vessel activity around the pens. The results include improved fish welfare, better biosecurity and reduced mortality. 

The funding round was led by Hatch Blue through its Blue Revolution Fund, with strong participation from existing shareholders. 

“Remora Robotics integrates technology, fish welfare and operational efficiency in a way that directly addresses the needs of salmon farmers while enhancing aquaculture’s sustainability. We are very excited to work with the Remora team and support their growth in the Norwegian salmon market and beyond,” said Georg Baunach, chief executive officer and managing partner at Hatch Blue, in a press release.

Surging demand fills production capacity

Over the past 12 months, Remora has achieved a major commercial breakthrough, with installations at several of the world’s leading aquaculture companies. Demand is rising, and much of the company’s production capacity for the next six months is already sold out. Going forward, the focus is on delivering high-quality service and long-term customer value through the Remora platform. 

“We have been part of Remora’s journey since 2023, and what they are now delivering to the market confirms both their vision and ability to execute. The technology delivers significant value to Remora’s customers. That is why we are increasing our investment,” said Thomas Grieg from Grieg Kapital, who is also joining the board of directors at Remora Robotics. 

At Aqua Nor, held in Trondheim this August, Remora will unveil the next step in its technology roadmap: a new software platform for continuous pen monitoring, including AI-driven net integrity inspection. 

“We are incredibly proud of what the team has achieved so far, and it is highly motivating to see such strong market response to our technology. This funding gives us the opportunity to further develop the platform and deliver even more value to our customers. These are exciting times for Remora – and we are just getting started,” said Svein Erik Gregersen, chief executive officer of Remora Robotics. 

DnB Carnegie acted as financial adviser for the transaction, with legal support provided by the law firm Schjødt.
