Both bases will focus on delivering in-service support and maintenance for lifeboats and davits in the North Sea.
“Our clients are the major North Sea oil and gas operators and they don’t just want to buy boats and davits, said Petter Hernaes, vice president for the Nordic region, Schat-Harding Services. “They want to buy a lifetime of safe and trouble free operation. Our Product life Cycle Management scheme and fleet and frame service agreements ensure that the major investments made by operators in lifesaving equipment are always maintained in ready to go condition.”
The two new bases will deliver a service and maintenance capability close to the main operating bases of the major North Sea operators. Servicing and spares will be quickly available for specialised offshore support vessels and offshore rigs and units. The local bases allow for swift mobilisation of resources, which is important for maintaining operations in the North Sea area.
