Our hometown, Grindavík, was hit by several large earthquakes on Friday the 10th of November and the threat of a volcanic eruption still hangs over the town. The town has been evacuated and severe damage is evident.
We express our gratitude to the Search and Rescue service, Police teams, Red Cross and all those who have aided the Grindavík community.
All our staff are safe but due to last weekend’s earthquakes, our fish farm situated just outside Grindavík sustained some damage, and current conditions remain challenging. Strict access limits are in place for safety reasons, yet our production team is doing an incredible job of managing the farm and caring for the fish under these difficult circumstances.
Our professional, dedicated team is prioritizing health and safety while tending to the needs of the fish. It’s crucial to ensure the well-being of these living creatures. Our focus remains on the well-being of our staff and also the welfare of our fish.
We have been inundated with offers of support from many stakeholders, both locally and internationally, for which we are extremely grateful. We are very grateful to our critical suppliers who continue to make sure that we have adequate stock of feed, oxygen and other supplies so that we can operate as effectively as possible.
Our thoughts are with all Grindavíkings during this uncertain time.
