Activities Today
SOFF’s activities are aimed 100% towards the offshore petroleum industry. Most of the fleet of vessels is equipped to carry out projects well above the traditional supply and anchor handling services. In addition to strong international growth, the Company has focused on offering Construction Service Vessels (CSV) and equipment for use in connection with offshore installations, including installing, monitoring and maintenance of sub sea systems. Simultaneously, the Company has expanded and modernized its tonnage of Anchor Handling vessels (AHTS), particularly for use in deep waters. Currently approx. 1000 people are employed by the Solstad group.
Our fleet consists of 44 fully owned/jointly owned and leased vessels plus 6 vessels under construction (5 in Norway and 1 through Nor Offshore Pte Ltd (NOR) in Singapore). 34 of the vessels are operated from the main office in Skudeneshavn and the branch office in Aberdeen.
The Company’s five new builds in Norway, 3 CSV, 1 AHTS and 1 large PSV/ROV, emphasize the continued focus on the construction service market as well as drilling and development in unsheltered and deep waters.
Through its 50% share in NOR, SOFF is focusing on the Asian and Australian markets. NOR was established in December 2004 and has a fleet of 11 vessels (incl. 1 under construction), five of which are operating with a somewhat higher specification than is traditional for this market.
NOR has newly ordered a Derrick Lay Barge (DLB) with lifting and pipe laying capacity. Delivery is planned to take place by the end of 2009. The DLB will be equipped with a 1100 ton crane, pipe laying equipment and greater cabin capacity. The aim of this investment is to be a player in the construction market in Asia and Australia.
