Lutelandet is located on the western coast of<br />
Norway, just north of Bergen, with easy access<br />
for oil rigs and ships to and from the North Sea.<br />
This huge onshore area up to 1 400 000 m² is<br />
developed by Lutelandet Offshore (LLOF) with<br />
yard, harbour and Europe’s largest dry dock.<br />
– A perfect match<br />
Many of the oil and gas installations in the<br />
North Sea are reaching the end of their operating<br />
period and also the lifespan of which they<br />
were designed. Proposals for decommissioning<br />
them are being prepared by the operators, and<br />
connected to this a whole new industry is under<br />
establishment.<br />
«With the unique facilities at Lutelandet, our<br />
industrial site will be a perfect match for your<br />
oil and gas platform for decades to come, says<br />
CEO of LLOF», Tor Gjertsen.<br />
Logistic services on hand<br />
«We are near to our clients offshore projects,<br />
supporting oil and gas operators and suppliers in<br />
the oil and gas industry. LLOF can manage their<br />
onshore storage and integrated logistics services<br />
of various needs. Large areas are available for<br />
storage and inspection», Gjertsen explains.<br />
LLOF can offer third party inspection of critical<br />
materials, maintenance of equipment and can also<br />
provide project management and management<br />
of supply chain contracts and procurement. LLOF<br />
also cooperate with large international companies<br />
in order to provide the costumer with the best<br />
service available.<br />
Fulfills current and future market needs<br />
Lutelandet’s unique geographical location and<br />
infrastructure fulfills the demands of an offshore<br />
industrial site, both technically and environmentally,<br />
with the ability to meet both current<br />
and future market needs.<br />
«The need for IRM of existing and new vessels<br />
will always be present as long as wildcat drilling<br />
and other activities exist offshore. LLOF will win<br />
shares of this market», says Gjertsen.<br />
Future in the wind<br />
Wind energy turbines can be assembled onsite<br />
SPECIAL ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT<br />
