INTERNATIONAL OFFSHORE TECHNOLOGY mmH

The Second Time Around

Norwegian Maritime Equip- ment now delivers second-hand, reconditioned equipment for a new, permanent offshore installa- tion.

Kvaerner Oil & Gas recently ordered used rescue equipment for installation on the Siri Field to be built for Statoil.

The company started offering the second-hand equipment as it noticed growing demand for such equipment.

It cites new certification schemes for used equipment — one that guarantees the customer high quality, certified according to

NS/ISO 9002 with documentation and certificates by DnV — as a major driving force for the second- hand equipment market.
