\u201cThis is the first time the Norwegian Armed Forces have entered into such an important and wide-reaching contingency contract with a civilian industrial concern. The military response contract will reinforce the Armed Forces\u2019 response capability, and logistics deliveries from Wilhelmsen and NorSea Group will be of significant importance with regard to our preparedness, in addition to enhancing our endurance capability,\u201d said Haakon Brun-Hansen, the Norwegian Chief of Defence.<\/p>\n
With nine strategically located supply bases all along the Norwegian coast, NorSea Group is the largest owner of base infrastructure in Norway. The company, which is owned by the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Group (40%), the Eidesvik Group (28%) and the M\u00f8kster Group (28%), has supplied base and logistics services to the oil and gas industry since 1965.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo begin with, NorSea Group will supply logistics services to the Norwegian Home Guard and logistical support to allied reinforcement units. After 50 years in the industry, we have considerable experience of large, complex logistical operations,\u201d John Stangeland, CEO of the NorSea Group emphasised.<\/p>\n
