Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster announces $3.6M in new activity to build on BlueVita Technology Project<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster (OSC) announced the $3.6 million Commercialization and Supply Chain Integration of BlueVita Technology Project.<\/em> This announcement represents expanded project activity for the phase one OSC project, <\/em>BlueVita Technology<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>as part of the OSC\u2019s Capacity and Supply Chain Expansion (CASCE) Program to help members scale up and expand as they continue to gain momentum and develop stronger relationships in the supply chain and ecosystem. The project team is moving Ship Nature\u2019s Way\u2019s BlueVita Technology forward as a best-in-class solution for mobile storage and multi-modal transport of live seafood products.<\/p>\n

The Commercialization and Supply Chain Integration of BlueVita Technology Project<\/em> will support the commercialization and early adoption of the Ship Nature\u2019s Way\u2019s BlueVita Technology<\/em> with domestic and international customers for shipping of live seafood. The new project also supports supply chain expansion by supporting the integration of BlueVita Technology<\/em> with the technology of an existing mobile storage company, achieving mutual beneficial technology advancements and market penetration. Project activity for the Commercialization and Supply Chain Integration of BlueVita Technology Project<\/em> are based on the results of science-based trials of the BlueVita Technology at the Huntsman Marine Science Centre. These trials included a series of improvements and enhancements of the technology, demonstrating the ability to maintain high standards of water quality, survivability, and product quality.<\/p>\n

Led by Ship Nature\u2019s Way out of Saint Andrews, NB, the total value of Commercialization and Supply Chain Integration of BlueVita Technology Project<\/em> is $3.6 million. Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster is providing $1.8 million, with the remainder of funding coming from the project team.<\/p>\n

Calls for proposals under the OSC\u2019s 2021 CASCE Program were launched under the cluster\u2019s first round of funding. The project announced today is in addition to the 16 projects announced in April<\/a> that build on the success of active OSC projects with expanded scope and will help industry access and acquire the capability Canadian companies need now to become and stay globally competitive. The CASCE Program is helping to strengthen and grow supply chains and increase the capacity of Canadian ocean-focused companies, de-risking the acquisition of critical assets that are needed to accelerate commercialization and enable existing projects to meet the growing demand for their products and services.<\/p>\n
