Offshore staff
STAVANGER, Norway – Equinor has awarded two-year contracts to NorSea Group, Saga Fjordbase, and ASCO Norge for services at supply bases along the Norwegian west coast.
These will collectively provide employment to more than 800 people, from Dusavik in the south to Hammerfest in the north, according to Peggy Krantz-Underland, Equinor’s chief procurement officer.
All three suppliers have been delivering operations at the supply bases since 2015. The new awards are an exercise of options included in framework agreements established that year, and have a combined value of around NOK1.4 billion ($155 million).
The scope includes terminal and warehouse services.
Roger Foss, manager supply operations for Equinor on the Norwegian continental shelf, said that in 2019, around 2 MMt of goods and bulk were shipped via these bases to serve the company’s offshore operations.
Equinor works with these and other suppliers at the bases to reduce CO2 emissions from logistical operations offshore Norway, including an initiative to enable shore-to-ship power supply, currently in place at five of the bases.
