Craig Anderson, chief executive of the SSC
INVERNESS engineering firm Gael Force Group is to create 20 new jobs after being commissioned to build a feed barge for a fish farm.
Delivery of the 14 metre feed barge is expected at the Portree site of the Scottish Salmon Company (SSC) later this year.
The feeding barge has innovative SeaFeed technology, including an eight line feeding system and barge design offering the highest safety standards.
Craig Anderson, chief executive of the SSC, said: “This commission reflects our commitment to investing in innovation to improve our operational efficiency and support business growth.”
SSC is a leading producer of Scottish salmon, employing 500 people across 60 sites on the West Coast Scotland and the Hebrides.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
