ENTERING YET ANOTHER SEGMENT EXPANDING OUR BUSINESS INTO THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR

BUILDING COMPETENCY WE WANT OUR COMPANY TO BE THE CUSTOMERS’ NUMBER ONE CHOICE

EDITORIAL Dear reader, Times are tough. After an almost uninterrupted growth since before 1990, the market has virtually collapsed. A surplus of new building contracts of vessels in combination with a decline in the oil prize is to blame. And there are no signs of a speedy improvement. As a business, we need to prepare ourselves accordingly. Tough cost effective measures have been implemented on all levels and we are working hard to keep our vessels in operation. With me on this, I have my competent colleagues. They are highly skilled in their field and know how to provide good service to our customers. Together, we will steer our company through this downturn. Being well accustomed to change, we will continue our focus on efficiency, customer service and innovation. We are in a period of contrasts. In the worst market in decades, we have as much as ten new builds under way. This is a positive thing. We have also entered the renewable energy market – a good indication of our adaptability. During forty years, we have established four segments, thus being able to offer a diversity that we are proud of and that I believe will be very helpful in the phase we are currently in.

In this edition of our magazine, you can read more about our new contracts and new builds. In addition, I hope you will learn a little more about us as a company and the organizational changes we are making to improve our service and to strengthen our competitiveness. Should you have any comments on the articles please feel free to comment, as we would appreciate your feedback. A new year is approaching. For the maritime industry, it will be a difficult one. One of our industry’s biggest challenges in the upcoming period will be to retain the expertise we have built through decades. I am certain of one thing: The market will recover. And when it does we’ll be ready to seize every new opportunity offered. With these words, I wish you and your family – whether you are our customer, partner or employee – a peaceful and merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Kjære leser, Bransjen vår er inne i tøffe tider. Etter en nesten uavbrutt vekst siden før 1990 har markedet nærmest kollapset. Årsaken er overkontrahering av skip kombinert med fallende oljepris. Og det er ingen tegn til at markedet vil bedre seg på lenge. Dette må også vi i Østensjø Rederi forberede oss på. Tøffe kostnadsinnstramminger gjøres i alle ledd, samtidig som vi arbeider hardt for å holde skipene våre i operasjon. Med på laget har jeg dyktige kollegaer. De har høy kompetanse innen sitt fagfelt, inklusive det å yte service til våre kunder. Sammen skal vi lose selskapet gjennom nedgangsperioden. Vi er vant til omstilling og vil fortsette vårt fokus på effektivitet, kundebehandling og innovasjon. Perioden vi er inne i nå, er svært kontrastfull. I det dårligste markedet på flere tiår har vi hele ti nybygg under bygging, noe som er svært positivt. Vi har også entret det fornybare energimarkedet –en god indikasjon på vår omstillingsevne. I løpet av førti år har vi etablert fire segmenter, og kan dermed by på et mangfold som vi er stolte av og som jeg tror vil være til stor hjelp i den fasen vi nå er inne i.

ØSTENSJØ REDERI

I denne utgaven av magasinet vårt kan du lese mer om våre nye kontrakter og byggeprosjekter. I tillegg håper jeg at du vil lære litt mer om oss som bedrift og de organisasjonsendringene vi nå gjør for å bedre vår service og konkurransekraft ytterligere. Dersom du har kommentarer til artiklene, er det bare å ta kontakt. Vi setter pris på tilbakemeldinger. Et nytt år nærmer seg. For maritim bransje vil året bli tøft. En av bransjens største utfordringer i tiden som kommer, vil være å beholde kompetansen vi har opparbeidet oss gjennom årtier. Én ting er jeg sikker på: Oppturen vil igjen komme. Da skal vi stå klar til å gripe alle de muligheter den vil by på. Med disse ordene ønsker jeg deg og din familie – enten du er rederiets kunde, samarbeidspartner eller medarbeider – en god og fredfull jul og et riktig godt nyttår.

THE STRATEGY TO DIVERSIFY OUR OPERATIONS:

ENTERING YET ANOTHER SEGMENT By Kenneth Walland

We are a curious company — always looking for new knowledge, new challenges and new opportunities. For years we have followed the wind energy market, confident that our operational experience and the experience we have with gangway operations would make us an attractive bidder for the right project. Our curiosity led us to the building of a new vessel, a new segment, a new charterer and a lot of celebratory cake. Early in 2015, DONG Energy invited interested parties to an introduction meeting in Copenhagen. About 50 companies attended. In March, DONG Energy issued a formal tender and received twenty-two offers to deliver the requested vessel and services for their offshore wind farm. We were so fortunate as to win the final round, formally signing the contract in October.

marine crew of 20. A motion-compensated gangway system with an adjustable pedestal will be installed to ensure safe operations and optimal uptime. Special areas and functions on board the vessel are developed in accordance with the charterer’s requirements. The vessel, which has a length of 81.1 meters and a beam of 17 meters, will work out of Grimsby operation base in the UK.

FIVE YEARS FIRM PERIOD

The vessel is designed by Rolls Royce in close cooperation with us. To build the ship we chose Astilleros Gondan in Spain. This decision emphasises a long and strong relationship between our companies as this will be the 12th vessel we will get built at their yard since 2005.

The contract has a five years firm period with five optional years. Commencement date is set for September 1st 2017. The Service Operation vessel will function as a mother ship for wind turbine technicians as they perform maintenance work on Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm off the coast of United Kingdom

DESIGNED FOR EFFICIENCY The new build is a DP2 Service Operation Vessel with high station keeping capacities. The vessel’s 60 single cabins of high standard is intended to accommodate up to 40 wind turbine technicians in addition to a

Vi er et nysgjerrig selskap. Av den grunn har vi fulgt vindmarkedet over flere år. Når tenderet fra DONG Energy kom var vi sikre på at vi ville være en attraktiv tilbyder basert på vår operasjonserfaring og vår erfaring med gangvei operasjoner. Nysgjerrigheten vår resulterte i en ny befrakter, en ny skipsleveranse, et nytt segment og en herlig gratulasjonskake – selvinnkjøpt, vel å merke.

NY FEMÅRS-KONTRAKT I oktober signerte vi en femårs-kontrakt med DONG Energy som innebar bygging av et offshore støttefartøy til vindturbinparken Race Bank i engelsk sektor. Fartøyet skal fungere som moderskip for teknikerne mens de utfører vedlikehold.

ØSTENSJØ REDERI

FOUR SEGMENTS IN FORTY YEARS The contract enables us to expand our business into the renewable energy sector. This is part of our strategy to diversify our operations. We know this sector has further demands for similar vessels during the next few years and that is definitively of interest to us. As with our other segments, we will work hard to develop a service that our customers will prefer. We are already on our way.

BYGGET FOR EFFEKTIVITET Det nye skipet har DP2, gangbro med bevegelig pidestall og 60 enkeltmannslugarer som vil kunne huse opptil 40 teknikere i tillegg til et marint mannskap på 20. Skipet, som er 81,1 meter langt og 17 meter bredt, vil operere ut fra Grimsby base i Storbritannia. Skipet er designet av Rolls Royce i samarbeid med oss. Verftet Asterillos Gondan i Spania skal stå for byggingen. Dette blir det tolvte skipet de bygger for oss.

FIRE SEGMENTER PÅ FØRTI ÅR Denne kontrakten gjør det mulig for oss å entre det fornybare energimarkedet. Det er et naturlig resultat av vår strategi om å skape variasjon i de operasjonene vi tilbyr. Vi vet at dette segmentet har behov for ytterligere skip i fremtiden, noe vi ser på som svært interessant.

EDDA FREYA:

SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHING

By Solveig Røkenes

The float-out of a new vessel is always special. On August 15 this year it was time for our new offshore construction vessel (OCV) Edda Freya, to test the waters. She performed perfectly. With the help of our tug Felix, our new offshore construction vessel was successfully launched. The event took place at Kleven shipyard, with shipowner Johannes Østensjø and Chief Operating Officer Kenneth Walland present. Thanks to Kleven’s expertise the process went smoothly, and floating in the water just outside the yard the vessel looked beautiful. The offshore construction vessel is 150 meters long and is designed for cable laying operations, offshore construction and installation, maintenance and repair (IMR) operations. The vessel will work for Deep Ocean once delivered in April 2016.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? The meaning of the name “Freya” is love and growth. As we already love this amazing new vessel, the name fits. And we certainly have expectations of growth in regard to the experience, competency and revenue she will reward us with.

This will be the third time we use this particular name in our fleet: Edda Freya (I): Edda Fram (1981) changed its name to Edda Freya in 1987 (Sold 1988) Edda Freya (II): Delivered in 1991. (Sold 2013) Edda Freya (III): New vessel, due to be delivered in 2016

THE DYNAMIC POSITIONING SYSTEM:

WHAT DOES PIZZA HAVE TO DO WITH A VESSEL MAINTAINING ITS POSITION? By Solveig R økenes

Well, absolutely nothing – and at the same time surprisingly much: The discrepancy of the dynamic positioning system on board vessels is no more than the size of a pizza. In the early days, the deviation of these devices could be more than five meters. Today it is reduced to +/– 0.30 meter. Accuracy is an important part of marine operations where precision is crucial for success. Dynamic positioning allows for correct placements of seabed installations and enables safe gangway operations. It is also vital when a vessel is in close approximation to vulnerable units at sea, such as rigs. The positioning system is based on information from several different types of reference systems monitoring weather and position. A mathematical formula uses this information to calculate just how much power the propellers, rudders and thrusters will have to use to keep the vessel at the intended position. Even though the system is an amazing tool, it requires skilled people on board controlling it. We are fortunate enough to have just that.

from customers shows that our performance is constantly getting better. A positive attitude in all parts of our organization is a key element. We need to maintain our “can do” attitude both in the offices and on board the vessels while fine tuning our product for the years to come.”

Johan Rokstad, our CEO is confident this will strengthen the company’s position. “We strongly believe this change will provide our customers with better service as they will have a dedicated team working on the segment of their particular interest. It will also be beneficial to our organisation as a whole.”

“I am looking forward to working with the crew on board to strengthen our company’s position in the tug segment. Our tug fleet is growing, we have seven new builds arriving in the next couple of years and we are capable to provide a varied range of high quality services”, says Sveinung Zahl, Fleet Manager Towage. Both Solent Towage (Southampton) and Lee Towage (Ireland) will fall under his segment.

Our company provides services within four segments; towage, offshore, accommodation and offshore wind. As they all differ in vessel

Stian S. Waage, Fleet Manager Accommodation comments, “Edda Accommodation has come a long way in a very short time. Feedback

Alf Helge Lyngholm agrees. “I am looking forward to focusing on our offshore fleet, making sure we are in the forefront of everything going on in the relevant market. We have an amazing chartering department handling the commercial aspects. My job is to make sure we have the right vessel ready. If not, we might have to build one”, he smiles. Included in his segment is the new offshore wind vessel. Another proof of our company’s ability to enter new markets and to accommodate customers’ requests.

We aim to provide high standard customer service. Due to our expansion in recent years, we have concluded that in order to maintain our high standard and to prepare ourselves for future growth we need to make some changes. Therefore, as of October 1st, we divided our organization into three operational levels, each with a dedicated fleet manager.

Møt våre flåtesjefer, Sveinung Zahl, Stian S. Waage og Alf Helge Lyngholm. Deres mål er å gjøre vårt selskap bedre rustet for fremtiden, og gjøre livet ditt enklere. Første oktober ble selskapet delt i tre operasjonelle segmenter for å opprettholde selskapets høye servicenivå ved videre vekst. Endringene i markedet krever at vi omstiller oss, og med denne omstillingen er vi bedre rustet for framtiden. Med en taubåtflåte i sterk vekst ser flåtesjef Sveinung Zahl frem til å styrke segmentet i samarbeid med mannskapet om bord.

COOPERATION WITH WÄRTSILÄ:

A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH By Solveig Røkenes

They might look cute, but with a bollard pull exceeding five tons our new mooring boats, built for terminal work, are a force to be reckoned with. However, we do like it if you find them to be cute too. Wärtsilä is delivering the design for our four new mooring boats bound for terminal work at Sture and Melkøya. This design is not new to our company as we have several similar boats. Max and Obelix, to mention two, are in operation at Nyhamna for Shell. The two mooring launches working at the Melkøya terminal will start in June 2017. The duration of this contract is ten years with five optional years. The Sture contract commences in December 2016, with a duration of eight years plus seven optional years. We have delivered tug services to the Sture terminal for several years already, but this will be our first time working at the Melkøya terminal. Both contracts are with Statoil ASA.

De ser kanskje søte ut, men med en trekkraft på fem tonn hver er disse fortøyningsfartøyene noen kraftfulle plugger. Wärtsilä har levert designet på våre fire nye fortøyningsbåter. De skal utføre terminalarbeid på Sture og Melkøya for Statoil ASA. Kontraktene, som har oppstart i 2016 og 2017, er på henholdsvis ti år og åtte år. Selv om de fire båtene er nye, har vi flere båter i selskapet med liknende design. Max og Obelix er to liknende båter. De arbeider i dag ved Nyhamna terminal for Shell.

EDDA FJORD:

WHEN COSTLY CHANGES MAKE SUCCESS By Solveig Røkenes

Large projects require a great deal of planning and sometimes costly changes. On Edda Fjord, all the modules on deck were rearranged for the Heidelberg job. Certainly, a high cost, but worth it when it allows for a smoother operation and – most importantly – satisfied clients.

S J Ø F A R T S T I D E N E | NR. 2 – 2015

PHASE I: THE ARRIVAL OF EDDA FJORD

ONE VESSEL, ONE TEAM!

When our multi-purpose supply vessel (MPSV) Edda Fjord arrived at the Heidelberg location, the spar was already upright and moored (held in place by nine mooring lines made up of chains and fibre ropes).

One of Anadarko’s requests was to implement the “one vessel, one team” mentality on board. In order to provide a joint dining area and additional office space, structural changes had to be made to the vessel by rearranging all modules on deck. The changes enabled everyone to eat as one team. The deck on the forward modules allowed for a shared outside recreational area with park benches, sun sails and of course Wi-Fi access. “These costly structural changes provided a more effective flow of personnel and gave us the opportunity to meet Anadarko’s requirements in a way that otherwise would have been difficult. All the proposed changes were based on the crew’s previous experiences. We are fortunate to have a management willing to provide us with the tools we feel are necessary to succeed”, says master of Edda Fjord Håvard Melvær. Restructuring a vessel can only do so much. Sometimes the simple day-to-day things allow for the relaxed and positive atmosphere needed to build a team. “We set a goal to meet everyone with a smile and to greet each person by using his or her name. It doesn’t cost anything, but it creates a strong foundation for an inclusive work environment and good relations. The building of a united team also provides us with a sense of security when difficult issues need to be addressed. It makes everything easier for all parties”, Melvær explains.

The heavy lift construction barge Balder was still in legal possession of the spar and was connecting subsea risers and umbilicals from seabed to spar. (Risers are pipes used to transfer fluids or gas to or from the seabed and surface facilities, while umbilicals are tubes that include electric cables or optical fibres used to control seabed structures from the platform.) As both risers and umbilicals are situated at the centre of the spar, the spar needs to be installed before the top deck is lifted into place. A temporary deck was already in place making it possible to do the preparation work. When Balder left the spar, the 500 meter zone became Edda Fjord’s command. During the commissioning phase, Edda Fjord acted as a flotel providing high quality accommodation, food and housekeeping services for 120 people. The marine crew also took part in coordinating simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) together with the client. During this initial phase, Anadarko conducted pre-tension of mooring lines, pressure testing and cleaned up the area for the next phase.

Større prosjekter krever mye planlegging, noen ganger også kostbare endringer. Selv om disse er kostbare, er de verdt det når operasjoner kan utføres bedre og kundene blir fornøyde.

FASE I: EDDA FJORD ANKOMMER HEIDELBERG Da vår MPSV Edda Fjord ankom Heidelberg, var riggfoten i riktig posisjon. Lekteren Balder utførte hovedoppgaven med festingen av gass- og væsketransportrør, samt kontrollkabler fra havbunnen og til riggen. Da “Balder” hadde ferdigstilt arbeidet og forlatt området, overtok Edda Fjord kontrollen for 500-metersonen. Fjords primæroppgave var flotellvirksomhet for de 120 personene som arbeidet på innretningen.

ETT SKIP, ETT TEAM Et av Anadarkos krav var at mentaliteten “ett skip, ett team“ ble etablert

ØSTENSJØ REDERI

om bord. Dette medførte omstruktureringer av modulene på dekk. Resultatet ble felles spisested, flere arbeidsplasser og felles uteområde med benker, solseil og nettilgang. Kaptein Håvard Melvær sier at de strukturelle endringene bedret arbeidsflyten, men framhever òg at smil og tiltale ved fornavn er viktig for arbeidsmiljøet. Dette koster ikke noe, men bidrar til trygge og hyggelige arbeidsplasser – og forenkler også håndteringen av vanskelige situasjoner.

FASE II: OPPRETTHOLDE FORVENTNINGER Verdens største kranlekter, “ Thialf”, løftet toppdekket på plass da Edda Fides ankom Heidelberg. De overtar for Edda Fjord som flotell i siste fase av prosjektet. På det meste vil de ha 320 klienter om bord. Alt er lagt til rette for at samme gode service skal videreføres i denne fasen. Om de klarer å lære seg navnet på alle gjestene, gjenstår å se.

EDDA FJORD

“We set a goal to meet everyone with a smile and to greet each person by using his or her name.” – Håvard Melvær, master of Edda Fjord

PHASE II: KEEPING UP WITH THE EXPECTATIONS The top deck was being lifted into place by the world’s largest crane vessel/barge “Thialf ” when the accommodation vessel Edda Fides arrived at Heidelberg. As the gangway connected onto the western part of the spar, their job to make phase II a success for both Anadarko and ourselves began. At its peak during this project, Edda Fides will accommodate more than 320 clients. All of whom will experience the quality customer service that Edda Fides is known for. Making sure all successful measures from phase 1 are implemented, our two vessels have exchanged experiences. Some personnel in the catering- and service- department have even changed vessel in order to make sure our clients’ expectations are met. Whether they are able to learn everyone’s name remains to be seen.

FIVE MINUTES OF LAUGHTER EACH DAY By Solveig Røkenes

ØSTENSJØ REDERI

ABOUT US

In Østensjø Rederi we believe in healthy, happy employees and a positive working environment. If you happen to be at our head office around two o’clock you will most likely hear groans and laughter. Five minutes each day the second floor of our head office turns into a training facility. At exactly two o’clock people come out of their offices carrying colourful stretching bands. Ingrid Bergersen leads the exercising session as she has been doing for four years. The exercises are always the same, as are the amount of repetitions for each one. You are supposed to change after twenty repetitions, but that only happens if anyone remembers to count. The heaviest part is when you need to stretch the rubber band over your head. Since everyone is deeply focused, the first exercise is often performed in utter silence. Groans, laughter and occasional “I need to scratch my nose”-excuses do appear as people start to struggle.

FIVE-MINUTE BREAK The five-minute break is a valued time and an important part in creating a positive and healthy working environment. Other contributors are flexible workstations, fresh fruit and varied lunches supplied throughout the week. In addition to the everyday rubber band exercise, our colleagues ashore and on board participate in triathlons and several biking and jogging events. Our seafaring colleagues also participate in various competitions organized by the Norwegian Maritime Authority. Our crew on board the tug “Ajax” won first prize last year and came in at number four this year. Well done! Ingrid Bergesen makes sure that her colleagues stay healthy. At least for five minutes each day. Photo: Øyvind Sætre

CONNECTING SEA AND LAND:

COMPANY CONFERENCE 2015 By Katrine Hustvedt

In today’s market situation it’s all too easy for a company conference to spend all its allotted time focusing on cost saving measures and the market downturn. Even though those themes are ever so important, this year’s conference also gave room for good news.

Every year we hold two operational conferences in Haugesund. According to Master Johannes Golmen, who attended his fourth conference this year, the conference is a good place to have important discussions and for maritime and onshore employees to meet.

ROUGH WATER AHEAD In their presentations, both Kenneth Walland (COO) and Håvard Framnes (CFO) stressed the importance of focusing on cost saving measures. ”We will do everything we can to keep all of our vessels in operation, but it is important that everyone contributes by saving wherever possible”, said Walland. He verified that the market situation has changed drastically since the last conference. He was, however, confident that the diversity of

Årets driftskonferanse bar naturlig nok preg av markedsnedgangen og innvirkningen denne kan ha på selskapet om den blir langvarig. I innleggene sine minnet både viseadministrerende direktør Kenneth Walland og finansdirektør Håvard Framnes deltakerne på viktigheten av å spare. “Vi skal gjøre det vi kan for å holde skipene våre i drift, men det er viktig at vi alle bidrar med sparetiltak”, sa Walland.

the operations we provide would be a huge advantage for our company as a whole during this period.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES At the conference, Walland also revealed the exciting news of us entering the offshore wind segment. In addition, he talked about the organisational changes implemented in order to strengthen each segment, enabling us to meet increasing demands and still maintain a high standard. “Making this change will help us become more specialised”, said Walland. Each department will have its own fleet- and technical manager, plus a team for chartering, HR, HSEQ and other support functions.

NYE MULIGHETER Walland informerte også deltakerne om to større endringer for selskapet. Inndelingen i tre operasjonelle segmenter som vil styrke tjenestene vi tilbyr i hvert enkelt segment, samt kontrakten med DONG Energy som gir oss innpass i det fornybare energimarkedet.

Good discussions throughout the entire organization will benefit our customers, as they will meet solution-oriented people everywhere in our company, all of them interested in sharing their knowledge in order to make an operation safer and more efficient.

UTILIZING IN-HOUSE COMPETENCY We are constantly seeking ways to make our vessels safer, greener and more efficient. Together with our business partners, we try to invest in technologies and best work practices that will ensure that we are at the forefront in these areas. However, it is vital that we inspire our staff to take an active part in the building processes as well. Our COO Kenneth Walland explains: “We involve the marine crew as early in the planning stage as possible. In this way there is still time to make changes if we together feel that it is necessary. As the marine crew will be part of the operating team on board when the vessel is completed, they are committed and motivated to make it as functional as possible for all departments. We appreciate that the changes they propose will make a positive difference in the day-to-day operation. We strongly believe that incorporating the expertise of our employees will result in better vessels for our customers, for our crew and for the company.”

MARITIMT MANNSKAP TAS MED I BYGGEPROSESSER De ansatte har viktige funksjoner i byggeprosjektene, derfor må de involveres så tidlig som mulig. Kenneth Walland, viseadministrerende direktør, bekrefter dette: “Vi involverer det maritime mannskapet så tidlig som mulig i byggeprosesser, for da rekker vi å foreta endringer dersom det er behov/enighet. Det maritime mannskapet er ekstra motivert til å skape funksjonelle skip, fordi de skal delta i skipets daglige drift når det er ferdig. Vi setter pris på innspill fra ansatte, fordi deres kompetanse gir bedre skip for våre kunder, for våre mannskaper og for selskapet.”

ASTERILLOS GONDAN SHIPYARD

“Each building process is equally exciting.” – Johan Rokstad, CEO, Østensjø Rederi

Østensjø Rederi has a longstanding and successful collaboration with Asterillos Gondan. Together we have built several outstanding vessels and this year alone we have commissioned an additional four. In January, we gave the Asterillos Gondan shipyard the assignment to build the three escort tugs for our Melkøya contract with Statoil. These tugs have a RAL4000 DF design and is larger than the five previous tugs the yard built for us. In addition, the yard was awarded the building contract for the first service operation vessell (SOV) in our new segment Offshore Wind. The vessel will work for DONG Energy at Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm. This will be the fourth offshore vessel that Asterillos Gondan is building for us. Even though we are entering a new segment with this vessel, the processes of building new designs incorporating breakthrough technologies are not new to the yard or us. Innovation in vessel design is crucial to stay competitive in this business. “New technologies, new knowledge of hull shapes and how they perform at sea and information on the operations the vessel is set to perform, will always influence vessel designs. Each process is different, that is why each building process is equally exiting”, says CEO Johan Rokstad. The steel construction process for the escort tugs has now begun. “We are always excited when initiating a new project for Østensjø Rederi, but this time the challenge is even bigger because both of us are moving forward into new technology. Thus, for us it is an additional pleasure to work as a team on dual fuel technology development”, says the Factory Director, Ceferino Ron.

Fire av våre nye skip skal bygges hos vår gode samarbeidspartner skipsverftet Asterillos Gondan i Spania. Tre nye taubåter som skal gå på Melkøya for Statoil ASA, er allerede påbegynt. De har RAL400 DF design som er ulikt designet på de fem tidligere skipene verftet har bygget for oss. I tillegg skal Gondan bygge det nye offshoreskipet som skal settes inn i vindturbinmarkedet. Dette blir det fjerde offshoreskipet verftet bygger for oss. Alle skipene skal være leveringsklare i løpet av to år. Innovasjon i byggeprosesser er nødvendig for å holdes oss konkurransedyktige i dagens marked. Tilgang til ny teknologi og ny kunnskap vil påvirke designprosessen. “Ingen prosesser er like, det er det som gjør hver byggeprosess så spennende”, sier administrerende direktør, Johan Rokstad. 575 tons of steel will be used for each tug, which is equivalent to the weight of approximately 100 elephants.

ASSOCIATION WITH SHELL:

40 YEARS OF BUILDING GOOD RELATIONS By Phil Brown

Signing a new client is an achievement. Sustaining this new relationship is a good indicator that you are doing something right. One might even call it a success. We believe we have reached such a success in Aberdeen, having maintained a client relationship there for 39 years.

Thanks to our early focus on the United Kingdom’s Oil and Gas Industry, we became one of the first shipping companies to establish a base in Aberdeen in 1974. Since then we have chosen to stay, focusing on maintaining a personal follow-up of valued and important customers. One of which is oil major Shell who has been working with us since 1977.

HOW DID THE COLLABORATION START? Our association with Shell started in 1977 when Edda Supply Ships AS had a number of vessels on the spot market in Aberdeen. We had two vessels, which Shell had hired on a number of occasions. Following this, the Edda Sprint commenced a term charter for five years in 1978 and Edda Sprite was delivered to

Shell in January 1979 for a three-year term. Since then we have had vessels continuously on term charter to Shell UK.

EVERYONE WINS This working relationship has been profitable and pleasurable for both parties. Our collaboration has been instrumental in making great progress over the years. A shared enthusiasm and a high focus on safety have been key drivers in continually improving the design and operation. This has enabled us to provide a continuous fleet of modern safe and efficient vessels operated by highly qualified and motivated crews. Our future collaboration with Shell depends on the market situation as well as whether we can deliver what Shell requires.

OUR MAN IN ABERDEEN 2015 marked a new beginning at the Aberdeen office. Following the retirement of Mrs Izzie Smith, after many years’ loyal service, Phil Brown took on the role of general manager. He will provide operational and HSEQ support to the company’s vessels. This currently includes Edda Frigg, Edda Fram, Edda Frende and Edda Ferd.

Phil Brown, our man in Aberdeen.

ØSTENSJØ REDERI

Phil started in the British Merchant Navy as a trainee deckhand in the 1980’s. After qualifying from Maritime College, he sailed on various types of vessels operating all over the world. Following his sea career

Phil came ashore and was heavily involved with various disciplines in marine training and assessment for the Oil and Gas plus the wider Merchant Marine industries. Prior to joining Edda Supply Ships, an Østensjø Rederi company, in December 2014, Phil was employed as a Marine HSE Advisor on board flotels and platform supply vessels. “I am excited and looking forward to maintaining the good working relationship we have with our clients here in Aberdeen”, says Phil.

PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES By Katrine Hustvedt

“Every Sunday we conduct a full mustering of all persons on board. We rotate scenarios to satisfy various regulations as well as our need for practice.”

Martin Paulsson, safety officer at Edda Fides, gives us a peek inside the safety drills conducted on board. “The weekly scenarios are planned in cooperation with vessel management and client. All drills are of course in compliance with SOLAS as well as Østensjø Rederi’s guidelines. Our aim is to make everyone confident with his or her role during an evacuation. That will save lives if a situation should occur”, says Paulsson. “During our full-scale fire drills, well-trained emergency response teams perform search and rescue actions in smoke-filled areas. Rescued casualties are handed over to our qualified medical staff so they can practice their profession. Everyone involved always goes through a de-briefing to identify possible improvements or the need for additional training”, Paulsson continues. “A drill scenario can be mustering of all personnel on board the respective survival crafts with a full demonstration of life saving appliances. It can also be a full abandonment of the vessel, from platform or rig connected to the vessel via the gangway. In such a drill, you need to evacuate up to 600 people”, says Paulsson.

Hver søndag gjennomføres beredskapsøvelser om bord på flotellet Edda Fides. Her øves det på å håndtere ulike hendelser som en håper ikke skal skje. Målet er at hver enkelt skal føle trygghet i sin rolle, noe som vil kunne redde liv i en reell situasjon. I øvelser med evakuering av arbeidere fra plattform som er tilkoblet skipet, kan opptil 600 personer være involvert.

“Under brannøvelsene foretar en veltrent nød-responsgruppe et søk, ofte i røykbelagte rom, hvor skadde blir brakt til kvalifiserte helsearbeidere. Alle deltakerne gjennomgår en samtale i ettertid for å identifisere forbedringer eller behov for mer trening“, forteller Martin Paulsson, som er sikkerhetsansvarlig om bord.

60 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE By Katrine Hustvedt

HR Sandvold is a small Haugesund company with ten employees. They supply pipes, valves and ventilation to the shipping-, offshore- and manufacturing industry all over the world. The company, having over 60 years of experience, has benefited Østensjø Rederi for decades. Earlier this year, HR Sandvold made a large delivery to the multiple purpose vessel Edda Fjord in Galveston, Texas. “The service we receive from Sandvold is always of the best quality. They are welcoming and do their utmost to find the products we need, always with the high quality we require. In addition to providing superior service, they hold a good price level”, says Chief Engineer Kevin Gorman, Edda Fjord. William Vestbø, department manager at HR Sandvold tells us, “Discussing challenges early in the process makes it possible to agree upon solutions quickly with the suppliers. This saves the shipping companies as well as ourselves both time and errors connected to delivery.” Johan Rokstad, CEO of Østensjø Rederi adds that ship owners in Haugesund have a long and successful tradition of doing business with local suppliers. Their expertise including their knowledge of the offshore industry is the main reason why we choose local businesses. “Their experience makes it possible to deliver services efficiently, with high quality and at good prices even over long distances”, he says.

BUILDING COMPETENCY By Solveig R økenes

Making sure everyone has the relevant competency is not a choice. It is vital if we want our company to be the customers’ number one choice.

ØSTENSJØ REDERI

ØSTENSJØ ACADEMY

S J Ø F A R T S T I D E N E | NR. 2 – 2015

Building competency in an organization is not done in a jiffy. It is – and must be – an ongoing process for as long as the organization exists, and it requires daily focus. Our employees’ competency forms the basis of the kind of operations and services we can provide. Maritime laws and regulations change in accordance with new technology, knowledge of safety, the environment, and changes in society as a whole. The result for the maritime industry are new requirements for training, personal certificates, safety measures, handling and maintenance of new equipment etc. Masters on board each vessel and office personnel make sure we comply with the requirements at all times. Making sure certificates and courses are valid is only one part of building competency in the organization. The terms training, drills, trainees and support can be used to cover all the competency work we do in the company. Let’s call them “the basis of the Østensjø Academy”:

1. TRAINING In all positions and roles, people must meet certain requirements to be permitted to work. Without valid maritime certificates or relevant work

Vi utvikler kompetansen til våre ansatte, fordi vi vil forbli kundenes førstevalg! Maritime lover og regler lever i samspill med det øvrige samfunnet. Ny teknologi, nye operasjonsområder og ulike segmenter påvirker regelverket som den maritime næringen forholder seg til. For å sikre at endringene følges opp på best mulig måte samarbeider våre kapteiner med landorganisasjonen. Å følge de maritime lovene og reglene danner basisen for kompetanseoppbyggingen i bedriften. Denne oppbyggingen kan for øvrig deles inn i fire punkter. La oss kalle dem “grunnsteinene i Østensjø Academy“:

experience, you cannot be part of the vessels’ crew or service personnel. It is therefore crucial for the company to arrange for training in this regard to keep our vessels operable. In addition, specific training is necessary in order to operate certain kinds of equipment on board – equipment such as cranes and navigation systems. Every assigned role also has a set of qualifications that needs to be met. Training may occur both ashore and on board and can be anything from online learning, courses at certified training facilities, in-house classroom sessions etc. In many occasions, the result is a diploma and or a certificate.

2. DRILLS AND EXERCISES Drills and exercises are performed regularly on board. These include safety drills, preparations for vessel specific operations, testing of equipment, teamwork and next level performance. The learning process rely on feedback from colleagues and people in charge of the drill or exercise.

1. TRENING Det kreves gyldig sertifikat eller relevant yrkespraksis for å arbeide om bord. Vi sørger for at alle rolle- og stillingskrav imøtekommes slik at skipene våre kan være operative. Relevant trening kan gis som nettbaserte kurs eller som kurs ved godkjente treningssentre.

2. ØVELSER Praktiske øvelser foregår jevnlig om bord og inkluderer blant annet øvelser i sikkerhet, operasjon, utstyr og samarbeid. Læring oppnås ved repetisjon og tilbakemeldinger fra kolleger og instruktører.

3. OPPLÆRINGSSTILLINGER Organisasjonens kompetansebygging krever tilgang til relevant arbeidskraft. Selskapet vårt tar derfor årlig inn lærlinger og kadetter på dekk og

3. TRAINEES To be able to recruit within our company, educating new seafarers is of great importance. Each year the company engages new apprentices and cadets for the engine, and deck department. Our marine crew is our main resource in preparing the trainees for the trade they have chosen as their profession. They do a remarkable job to carry forward good craftsmanship and the Østensjø Rederi spirit and standards. All trainees get their own designated instructor on board to help guide them through the set curriculum and help them familiarise with life away from home.

4. SUPPORT The office serves as support to the masters concerning information on courses, competency and applicable rules and regulations. How changes in requirements affect us, and how to implement them in time, is part of the work tasks for the onshore organisation – as is getting everything ready for the start-up of new buildings.

roles or equipment, must be booked and accomplished before the vessel is put into operation. New vessels and new segments might also affect our existing procedures. Keeping procedures updated is an important support function as they provide the framework for how we operate.

ØSTENSJØ ACADEMY Our organization is constantly changing. So are the rules, regulations and market we operate within. How we react to change, will affect our stand in the market. We try our best to have a proactive response when it comes to building competency in our company. To succeed in our work we need to focus on making the foundation of the academy strong. This is in everyone’s interest as it affects which vessels we can operate, which vessels we are able to staff and in which region we are able to work.

ØSTENSJØ ACADEMY Vi, som andre rederier, må sørge for at våre ansatte har korrekt kompetanse i regelverket vi arbeider under. Dette krever at hver grunnstein i Østensjø Academy er bærekraftig. En svikt vil påvirke tillatelsen vår til å drifte skip eller til å drifte skip i visse områder.

4. STØTTETJENESTER Nye segmenter, skip eller operasjonsområder kan medføre innføring av nye regelverk. Landorganisasjonen medvirker til at våre kapteiner får kunnskap og kompetanse om regelverksendringer og hvordan disse vil påvirke oss. De sørger også for at mannskapet på nye skip får nødvendig kompetanse før skipene skal driftes.

EDDA FRAM & EDDA FRENDE:

GET TO KNOW THE OFFSHORE SISTERS By Solveig Røkenes

When Edda Fram proudly sailed into the market in 2007, she set the standard for future platform supply vessels. Two years later, shaped in the same mould, Edda Frende followed in her footsteps – or should we say wake? Although they have their differences, they tend to hang out in the same places. Since they entered the market they have been working for Shell. Meet the sisters Edda Fram and Edda Frende.

ØSTENSJØ REDERI

EDDA FRAM & EDDA FRENDE

Edda Fram comes from an inventive family with a long list of world firsts. The anticipation of her bringing something new to the marked was therefore present prior to her arrival. She did not disappoint. Edda Fram became the first platform supply vessel in the world to install:

BRINGING FAMILY TRADITIONS FORWARD To acknowledge her family’s innovations, Edda Fram continued with the following successes:

• High sides • Voith Schneider propeller with a roll-reduction system This enables her to perform better during bad weather, as the propeller is exceptional at keeping the position. The roll-reduction system keeps the vessel steadier as it reduces the impact of the waves.

• Dedicated drill cutting tanks Allows drill-cuttings to be brought back to shore instead of being dumped at sea. This has a positive impact on the marine environment.

Today this is industry standard, but Edda Fram’s family was the first shipping company in the world to introduce this on platform supply vessels back in 1975. This improves the working conditions for the crew and ensure their safety.

• Vent under the water line Reduces emissions of dust to the air. First introduced by her family in 1987.

• Clean class • Rim thruster A thruster using magnetic power. The compact unit requires less maintenance and less space. This allows it to be placed differently than other types, resulting in it working more efficiently. It is also quiet.

• High comfort class for crew High standard of comfort enables the crew to better focus on their operational tasks.

SISTERLY COMPETITION When the second sister arrived, she had incorporated all of her sister’s finer points. However, in order to keep up in the sisterly competition that exists among siblings, Edda Frende brought some surprises along as well:

• First PSV in our company to use urea to reduce NOX emissions Urea, water and high temperature converts the NOX gasses into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. This reduces emissions into air.

• Prepared for oil recovery

In order to reduce spills in case of a collision, no oil-filled tanks are placed on the outer sides of the hull. Water and ballast-water tanks create an outer safety barrier.

• Dedicated methanol tanks with nitrogen inerts To enable transportation of methanol to rigs, separate tanks were installed. Nowadays that is common on this type of vessels.

• Hose catcher A metal rod that clinches the hose to the side of the vessel to keep it from moving around on deck. This increases safety for the deck crew when handling oil-, water-, fuel- or mud tubes.

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES The sisters like to be pampered. To ensure that there are people around to understand their exact needs, they welcome apprentices and cadets on board in order to teach them exactly how they like to be treated. No one in the family takes on as many trainees as the sisters. Even though driven by selfishness, they still provide much needed practice experience for our future crew. So – as the kids say – “Cred!”.

Keeps her prepared in case of oil pollution alerts. A quick response will reduce the environmental impact.

BLI KJENT MED OFFSHORESØSTRENE

SØSKENRIVALISERING

Edda Fram satte standarden for fremtidige forsyningsskip da hun entret markedet i 2007. To år senere ble Edda Frende bygget etter samme støpeform. På tross av sine forskjeller har de en tendens til å oppholde seg på samme sted. Siden de entret markedet, har de begge jobbet for Shell.

For å kunne konkurrere med storesøster inkorporerte Edda Frende alt det storesøster entret markedet med. I tillegg kunne hun by på noen overraskelser. Hun ble rederiets første PSV som benyttet urinstoff (urea) for å redusere NOX-utslipp. I tillegg hadde hun forberedt seg slik at montering av oljeoppsamlingsutstyr kunne gjennomføres enkelt.

Søstrene kommer fra en nyskapende familie med en lang merittliste. Forventningene til deres innovative egenskaper var derfor høy allerede før ferdigstilling. De skuffet ikke. Edda Fram videreførte en god del av familiens innovasjoner. Her kan sikkerhetstiltak for mannskapet på dekk nevnes ved høye skutesider og slangemottaker. Nye løsninger ble også introdusert. Som verdenes første plattformforsyningsskip innførte Edda Fram faktisk Voith Schneider-propeller med bevegelsesdemping, egne tanker for borestøv, magnetdrevet sidepropell og ekstra høy standard for mannskapet.

UTSEENDET ER VIKTIG For å sørge for at de blir godt stelt med tar søstrene hvert år imot opplæringsstillinger. I detalj får disse opplæring i å håndtere søstrenes sprell og humør. På denne måten sikrer søstrene at de blir godt ivaretatt i fremtiden. Selv om inntaket av ferskinger baserer seg på et egosentrisk tankesett, skal søstrene ha takk for innsatsen de gjør for fremtidige sjøfolk. Så langt er det ingen i familien som tar inn flere opplæringsstillinger enn disse to spreke damene.

EDDA FORTIS:

ALMOST THERE By Solveig Røkenes

A site team of 16 persons is currently working in Korea to complete the largest vessel in our company’s history. The completion of this complex project will provide our company, not to mention our customers, with yet another high standard purpose-built ship.

Hectic work is ongoing at the Hyundai Heavy Industries yard. As cabins in some areas are being installed, others are being decorated and made ready for their first guests to arrive. When finished, the vessel will provide high standard accommodation for 800 people.

Additional resources are provided by the yard to ensure that the heating-, venting- and cooling system (HVAC) on board can be ticked off as completed soon. The paintwork might still take some time. Due to the vessel’s size, this is a time consuming task.

INDOOR

DECK

The restaurant, galley, cinema and office areas are undergoing their finishing touches as well. It is not long before the chefs can serve wonderful cuisine in the beautiful restaurant on the fifth deck.

On deck, all offshore cranes are commissioned and working as intended, as are all lifeboats, rescue boats and the life raft system (MES). Safety is of the highest importance and it is crucial that everything is in order in that regard.

THE BRIDGE The bridge equipment is already in working order, but there is still some minor interior-work left in order to complete the bridge to our high standard.

The project is delayed, but when finished, we will be proud to present what we believe is the perfect accommodation vessel.

Arbeidet på Edda Fortis er inne i siste fase. Hele 16 personer er nå til stede i Korea for å ferdigstille det til nå største skipet i selskapets flåte. Når skipet er ferdig, vil markedet bli tilført enda et spesialbygd flotell av høy kvalitet. Det er stor aktivitet på verftet nå som siste hånd på verket legges. De siste lugarene settes på plass, mens de andre ferdigstilles. I restauranten, byssa, kontorene og på broen gjenstår nå kun små detaljer som skal på plass før disse avdelingene er ferdige. På dekk fungerer kraner som de skal og det samme gjelder alt sikkerhetsutstyr. Malingsarbeidet kan derimot ta litt tid ennå grunnet skipets størrelse. Skipet er forsinket, men når det ferdigstilles, vil vi med glede og stolthet kunne presentere det vi mener er det perfekte flotell. 36

TEAMWORK ARTWORK

What would you have said if someone asked your permission to use a photo from your private collection on a 15 meter long wall? Michal Aase said yes. Born in Haugesund, where our main office is located, Michal now lives in Karasjok in the northern part of Norway. Every time he visits Haugesund, he takes pictures of his beloved hometown. Recently, one of his photographies was printed in a local newspaper to our delight. Why? Because it

solved our difficult task of decorating a 15 meter long glass wall on board the Edda Fortis. The picture, which actually consisting of 36 photos put together with great accuracy, displays a panoramic view of the city’s quay. Just perfect for us! We contacted Michal and asked for his permission to use the picture.

Michal, a former sailor, immediately said yes, only proud that his picture will decorate Østensjø Rederi’s largest vessel ever. The picture will be printed onto plastic film and placed on a glass wall in the multi lounge. If you are ever on board, please take the time to check it out. Perhaps you can locate our main office in it?

SUPPORTING THE DALE OEN EXPERIENCE By Katrine Hustvedt

Our vessel T/B Ajax replaced its man overboard boat this summer. As the old one was still still in working order, a decision was made to donate it to The Dale Oen Experience.

The idea to found The Dale Oen Experience was created by the Norwegian Olympic swimmer Alexander Dale Oen and his brother Robin Dale Oen. They wished to inspire children and youth to challenge themselves, identify their own capacity and realize their own worth. The organisation believes that conquering physical activities is key to becoming who you really are. The two brothers meant to launch the idea right after the London Olympics in 2012, but when Alexander suddenly passed away, the launch was postponed. To honour their common goal, Robin decided to continue the process on his own.

Alexander`s dad, Ingolf, worked as a chief engineer in our company from 1988 until his retirement in 2013. He still works substitute shifts. Photo: Robin Dale Oen S J Ø F A R T S T I D E N E | NR. 2 – 2015
