Mammoet signs Norwegian partnership

Mammoet Norway has signed a collaboration agreement with Lutelandet Offshore (LLOF), the organisation responsible for developing and operating the offshore supply base on the Norwegian island of Lutelandet.

Under the agreement, Mammoet will provide manpower, equipment and expertise in the areas of heavy lifting and transportation to allow the two companies to provide the industry with a fully supported 1.4 million square metre yard to construct, store or build offshore installations with quick access to the major oil fields and installations in the North Sea. Mammoet has already completed its first job in Lutelandet - the load-in of a platform due to be dismantled.

Mammoet Europe regional sales manager Tom Rutgrink said: “We are excited about the advantages that this location offers. It will allow us to serve our clients more efficiently. For instance, we save time as platforms can be constructed simultaneously in various European yards and subsequently assembled at Lutelandet. Sailing distances from the European construction sites to Lutelandet are short and the location provides easy access to the North Sea. This makes assembly and decommissioning of the platforms onshore more efficient.”

“It also enables Lutelandet to optimise utilisation of their yard, for example. This location lends itself to the storage of heavy components, for which it is better equipped with our manpower and equipment at hand.”

LLOF chief executive Tor Gjertsen added: “We found a diligent partner in Mammoet. I am pleased and excited about the agreement. The establishment of Mammoet at the Lutelandet site will increase the overall capacity and capability of the site. The presence of a strong engineered heavy lifting and transport company with intimate knowledge of the site will ensure that we will develop into a stronger and much more capable team.”
