First OceanPods Tests - Grebbestad

In november 2022 we started our first tests with the OceanPod in the waters outside Grebbestad, Sweden. Göran Nylund from Nordic Seafarm joined and Petra Steenhoek and Pieter Mulder from Hortimare came up from the Netherlands. The goal was to do OceanPod near shore testing. We started of in Tjärnö Marine laboratorium with all the preparations including different algae sporation methods and line configurations.

- I’m so happy that we all finally could meet up to do the tests! says Magnus Willner.

The team: Magnus Willner, Mai Thai, Göran Nylund, Petra Steenhoek, Carl Lindberg and Pieter Mulder.

After some months of waiting we went back and saw the end results. It was massive growth!
