PROFILE
Remøy Shipping AS
has a long history dating back to the early 1900s, when the company was closely involved with Norway’s busy fishing industry. The Remøy Shipping brand was established during December 1975 and today it is active within the offshore, seismic, coastguard and chartering markets with strong ties to the oil and gas industry. The company is based in Fosnavåg, Norway and currently operates nine vessels including platform supply vessels (PSVs), seismic and seismic support vessels and a coastguard ship. Remøy operates in accordance with national and international laws and regulations, paying particular respect to health and safety, environmental and quality assurance (HSEQ) practices. It is ISM compliant and holds ISO 9001-2008 (quality management) and ISO 14001-2004 (environmental management) certification in accordance with the Norwegian classification society Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The majority of Remøy Shipping’s operated fleet is PSVs, all of which are currently servicing operators on a number of contracts. The company’s Rem Stadt, Rem Hrist and Rem Mist are all on multi-year charters with Statoil. A final PSV, Rem Eir, is currently under construction with Kleven Maritime, valued at 70 million USD and is expected to be delivered in Q3/2014. This large PSV has been designed for operation

on the Norwegian continental shelf and will be LNG powered with environmental friendly operation in mind. The vessel will undertake a three-year charter with Statoil upon completion. Commenting on this new vessel and the company’s relationship with Statoil, Remøy CEO Karsten Saevik says: “The new vessel will be operating on the Norwegian continental shelf as our client requires. Statoil has an aggressive goal to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions. One such step towards doing that is to charter more vessels, driven by environmentally friendly LNG energy instead of ordinary fuel.” In addition to PSVs, Remøy Shipping also owns and operates two seismic vessels, the Ocean Odyssey, a seismic source vessel and a seismic support vessel, Geco Scorpio, which both are on long-term charters to WesternGeco. Remøy Shipping is also the manager of three third party owned vessels, the latest one being the Blue Guardian, which is currently also chartered to Statoil. Prior to this the vessel had been signed to service the jack-up rig Maersk Giant during the drilling of two wells for Ross Offshore on behalf of Det Norske Oljeselskap and Repsol. The vessel is an Ulstein PX121 and has been modified slightly for operation on the Norwegian continental shelf with an extra bow thruster, exhaust gas cleaning, as well as other minor additions The two other third party
