Maersk Supply Service will reflag one of its anchor handling vessels to the Norwegian flag, hire Norwegian crew, and set up an office in Bergen as part of the expansion of its business activities in the country.
The company said the plan is to have its first vessel ready for operation in Norwegian waters during the summer of 2021. Its activities will be conducted in support of clients in the local offshore wind and oil and gas industries.
Maersk will steadily expand its fleet in Norway through the deployment of additional vessels in the coming years.
