€35m proposal to build world’s largest biomarine ingredients facility

Killybegs Fishermen’s Organisation and its Norwegian partner Biomarine Science Technology are to develop the world’s largest biomarine ingredients facility.

The proposed €35m project will create 50 construction jobs at the Donegal site, plus 70 direct and indirect jobs when in full production from 2016. It was unveiled during a BIM conference in the Aviva Stadium, Dublin.

The facility will be used to extract high-end proteins, oils, and calcium from fish for use as food ingredients.
