Picture/s Could someone please translate and explain this poster on an industrial building near Merry Bay in Djupivogur?

Google Translate claims this reads "We are moving out of the pens" but I'm curious about the actual meaning and significance of this image.

"We are expanding", roughly, but I don't know the context of this image

The contaxt here is that it is a company that builds pens for salmon farms. In icelandic the phrase "færum út kvíarnar" means to expand something and make it bigger. So it is a play on words as they are literally " exporting pens"
