The aquaculture supplier checklist every buyer should use
A ten-point checklist for evaluating any aquaculture equipment supplier — from references to spare-parts geography.
Use this checklist on every supplier shortlist. A vendor that scores below 7/10 is not ready for your project.
The ten points
1. Three reference projects in your climate band.
2. Three reference projects in your tonnage range.
3. Documented commissioning plan with hours and milestones.
4. Local service partner within 1,000 km.
5. Stocked critical spares within 72 hours of your site.
6. Warranty terms in writing, not implied.
7. Training plan for your operations team.
8. Documented uptime / availability claims.
9. Financial-strength evidence (audited accounts or bank reference).
10. Willingness to participate in anonymized bidding.
