Oceanis Aquariums

Financially diversity is important and for the executives of Harbin B.V., expanding the company’s interests meant getting its feet wet in the aquarium market.  After an initial investment towards completing the construction of the $38 million Melbourne Aquarium in 1998, Harbin funded further growth of the Oceanis Group as it evolved into the largest privately owned aquarium group in the world.

Harbin B.V. completed its role in the development of Oceanis in 2007, when its interests were sold to Queensland-based MFS Living and Leisure Group, for $150 million.
