What Intership AS does
Intership AS, doing business as Trident Aqua Services, is a Norway-based maritime services provider specializing in mission-critical operations for the Atlantic salmon farming industry. The company owns and operates a fleet of 60+ specialized vessels spanning live fish carriers, harvest vessels, fish feed carriers, premium service vessels, and utility vessels, delivering integrated aquaculture services from early life stage through final harvest. Trident's service portfolio includes live fish transport, harvesting operations, fish feed delivery, freshwater treatment, and FLS (sea lice) treatment, with the recent addition of battery-hybrid wellboat technology (Inter Alba) representing a significant capability in sustainable vessel propulsion and combined freshwater/FLS operations.
The company serves enterprise-scale salmon farming operators across six geographies—Norway, Chile, the UK, Ireland, Canada, and the Faroe Islands—through direct fleet operations and local offices in each market. Trident's business model is built on long-term B2B service contracts with major aquaculture companies, including Mowi Scotland, leveraging the company's combined maritime and aquaculture domain expertise. Trident was formed by the merger of three companies united by a shared purpose around sustainable seafood production, and the company maintains offices in Kristiansund (HQ), Molde, and Hareid in Norway, with operations support in Puerto Varas (Chile), Lerwick (Scotland), and St. John's (Canada). The company employs 106 people globally and continues to invest in next-generation vessel technology through shipyard partnerships with Sefine Shipyard and Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted.
