Krever at milliardkonsesjon inndras: – Slutt å gi Røkke særfordeler

SV's Ingrid Fiskaa has called for an end to Røkke's lucrative subsidies, following the government's recent approval of the sale of parts of Røkkes Aker Qrill Company to a foreign entity. This controversy stems from the fact that Kjell Inge Røkke's krill fishing company, Aker BioMarine, sold its operations to Aker Qrill Company, which is owned by the American industrial partnership American Industrial Partners (60%) and Aker Capital (40%).

The USD 6.3 billion deal includes concessions worth numerous billions and grants the right to fish krill in the Southern Ocean. The Fisheries Directorate approved the transfer of ownership in July 2024. Fiskaa emphasizes that the nationality requirement, which ensures certain resources remain with Norwegian citizens or companies, is crucial in securing Norwegian ownership of shared resources.

She insists that if the law is not applied consistently, the situation becomes problematic. Several other parties have also criticized the concession.
