hen Stig Remøy began pivoting

Olympic Subsea toward subsea and renewables a decade ago, the move was met with some internal skepti-

W cism. “Naturally, there were internal discussions — some believed oil and gas was the future,” he recalled. Rather than exit the conventional market,

Remøy backed a dual-track strategy centered on a simple, guiding principle: cut energy use frst.

From his company's headquarters in Fosnavåg, a small town on Norway's northwestern coast and the heart of a world-leading maritime cluster, Stig Remøy sat down with

Offshore Engineer to explain his strategy.

“We build and operate ships that serve both offshore wind farms and traditional oil and gas felds, because the transition takes time," Remøy explained. This approach is embodied in a new generation of vessels, including hybrid- electric CSOVs already in service and advanced Sustain- able Energy Vessels (SEVs) on the way.

THE EFFICIENCY DOCTRINE

Olympic’s strategy has been a systematic technologi- cal progression. “We started transitioning early, back in 1999,” Remøy said. “We focused heavily on energy: frst diesel-electric instead of diesel-mechanical, then hybrid”.
