The company's operations are run from Ålesund, Aberdeen, Melbourne, Singapore and Macaé by a total of 1550 employees onshore and offshore. The company's strategy is to be a major international supplier of large, modern offshore service vessels to the oil industry. We also remain committed to solid long-term charter profile for the fleet.
