The Vessel for Integrated Aquaculture Solutions.
OCNARK (Ocean-Ark) operates as a unified vessel of
experts, technology, and partners to design, integrate, and deliver
aquatic research, education, and food production systems.
We don’t just deliver for you.
We work with you.
Built on trusted partnerships across the industry.
The companies and institutions we work alongside represent decades of combined aquaculture expertise. Their trust is our proof.
Inside OCNARK (Ocean-Ark).
A look at the team, the partners, and the systems we deliver, from early conversations on site to commissioning the technology that brings projects to life.
From first conversation to operational system, we're with you at every stage.
Our engagement model is structured around how aquaculture projects actually evolve. You can enter at any stage, but most begin with a simple first step.
STEP 01
Discovery Session
Start with clarity before you commit.
A focused first session to understand your goals, site conditions, species focus, and operational vision. We surface the key opportunities, risks, and next steps before you move into feasibility or design. Low-commitment entry point designed to give you direction.
STEP 02
Project Initiation
Know where you stand before you invest.
We evaluate whether your project should move forward, and how. Site and species suitability, regulatory pathway, biosecurity risk, and high-level cost estimation. The evidence you need to commit with confidence.
STEP 03
Feasibility & Modelling
Move from concept to investment-ready.
Comprehensive feasibility covering site evaluation, production modelling, mass balance, and system comparison, alongside environmental and licensing advisory, market validation, and full financial modelling. Everything you need to make the investment case.
STEP 04
Planning & Execution
Control the build before it controls you.
We develop the implementation roadmap, procurement strategy, budget phasing, and construction staging plan, with the risk mitigation, governance, and project management framework to deliver with discipline.
STEP 05
Advisory & Oversight
Protect what you're building.
Independent technical and design review, contractor oversight, QA/QC advisory, equipment validation, commissioning oversight, and performance troubleshooting. We work for you, not the contractor.
STEP 06
Supply & Integration
Specify, source, and integrate.
We develop equipment specifications, evaluate and source technology providers, and coordinate procurement and logistics, with integration advisory that ensures every component works as part of one unified system.
STEP 07
Construction & Delivery
Build it, install it, verify it.
We coordinate construction and specialist contractors, supervise installation of tanks, filtration, pumps, and monitoring, and verify quality against specification. Seamless integration across mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and biological systems.
STEP 08
Servicing & Maintenance
Support performance long after delivery.
We provide ongoing technical support, preventative maintenance, remote and on-site troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and operational optimisation. Long-term support that keeps your facility running reliably well after commissioning.
Why the industry's most ambitious projects choose us.
Aquaculture projects fail when expertise stays in silos. We fix that.
One vessel.
Every discipline on board.
Most firms operate in isolation. Engineering, operations, financing, and technology sit in separate rooms, speaking different languages. Projects stall. Capital gets wasted. Timelines blow out.
OCNARK (Ocean-Ark) exists to integrate all of it. We align the right people, structure the right pathway, and move your project from early-stage thinking through to real-world execution.
What our partners and clients say.
Voices from the network, collaborators and clients on what working with the vessel has unlocked for their projects.
OCNARK is playing a pivotal role in the early-stage development of Hope Vale Foundation's Indigenous-led giant freshwater prawn aquaculture venture. Their guidance at a critical formative phase has been instrumental in strengthening our commercial pathway.
Tony Matchett
When I was looking for a partner with specific knowledge for an aquaculture consultancy project in the Pacific, OCNARK linked me with a relevant expert. Using the OCNARK network really made the difference.
Kyra Hoevenaars
We were looking for a trustworthy partner to expand into the APAC market, and in OCNARK we found just that. Their aquaculture knowledge in the region has proven its value, helping us identify the gaps where we can have the biggest impact and support the sector most effectively.

Your project deserves the right team behind it.
Whether you’re exploring a new opportunity, scaling an existing operation, or navigating a complex development, we’d like to hear about it.
It has been a privilege to collaborate with a team so focused on driving positive change. The achievements of this first year are only the beginning, and I am confident that Ocnark will continue to grow as a leader in sustainable aquaculture.
