OOS SMF B.V., part of the OOS Group, is involved in the development of a semi-submersible unit for cultivating mussels in the North Sea. Mussels are traditionally cultivated in sheltered waters such as the Oosterschelde and Wadden Sea. However, due to changes in natural conditions and regulations, the production of mussels has decreased. Cultivating mussels at sea is a solution to maintain and/or increase production. By applying "green" technologies such as solar, wind and tidal energy, OOS also strives to cultivate the mussels without CO2 emissions.
OOS will start a pilot next year and, based on the results of this pilot, a final (semi-submersible) unit will be developed and put into production for mussel growers. OOS wants to use its technical knowledge in the field of offshore technology to create an innovative solution for the de mossel sector and growers.

The striking feature of the SF200 mussel buoy is the two eyes, which allow rotation effects are reduced. With the double-line buoys, ranging from 200L to 330L, the emphasis is on maximizing yield and minimizing loss. The innovative design protects against forces during turbulent conditions. Both the single and double line floats have a patented fin design that ensures stability in harsh sea conditions. The eyes are robust and roomy, extending the life of the ropes. The ecological impact has been taken into account as they are made of UV stabilized polyethylene, designed for marine use. The buoys are fully recyclable.
