What we do and who we are
Cleveras delivers strategic advisory and technical governance for industrial-scale aquaculture development. We specialize in transforming RAS concepts into operational realities, guiding projects from initial feasibility through to commercial production.
Our core services encompass:
Strategic Planning & Risk Governance - Development of comprehensive risk management frameworks, technology roadmaps, and capital project governance structures for facilities ranging from pilot to gigafactory scale
Technical Due Diligence & Design Management - Expert evaluation of RAS technologies, equipment selection criteria, and integrated design management from concept through detailed engineering
Regulatory & Compliance Strategy - Navigation of complex environmental approvals, permitting processes, and compliance frameworks across multiple jurisdictions
Operational Readiness & Transition - Structured approaches to commissioning, performance validation, staff training, and handover protocols ensuring seamless transition to operations
Our Approach
We combine executive-level strategic thinking with deep technical expertise gained from developing and operating facilities producing 2,000 to 20,000+ MT annually. Our methodology integrates proven international technologies with site-specific optimization, ensuring solutions that are technically robust, economically viable, and operationally sustainable.
Unlike traditional consultancies, we bring hands-on experience from leading global RAS rollouts, having established governance frameworks and technical standards for some of the industry's most ambitious projects. This positions us uniquely to help clients navigate the complexities of scaling aquaculture from pilot projects to industrial production.
Whether advising technology suppliers on market entry, supporting investors with due diligence, or guiding producers through facility development, Cleveras delivers the strategic oversight and technical depth required for successful RAS implementation.
