It was a great pleasure for PES to catch up with David Kristensson, CEO of Northern Offshore Services. There is no doubt that the strong environmental ethos, along with the commitment to staff, in terms of working conditions and training, and the emphasis on customer satisfaction, makes this company a beacon in the offshore industry. Whilst acknowledging the current uncertainties, they are expanding and developing new zero emissions CTVs.
PES: Welcome back to PES Wind magazine, David. It’s been just over a year since we last spoke so the for our new readers could you give us an overview of Northern Offshore Services and the importance of the wind industry to you?
David Kristensson: Thank you. We are grateful for your interest in our business group. We work in a very interesting industry with almost endless business possibilities, but it is also very competitive, which means that during the year we have worked hard on our internal efficiency. Thinking about how we can improve and give even more value to our customers. The results of our internal measurements show that this is having a positive effect, on both our efficiency and operations.
The offshore wind industry is by far the most important market for us, which means that we invest a great deal in helping our customers to be efficient. I’m very happy to report that during the year, N-O-S has also grown and gained a bigger share of the market. We have also increased our fleet with two new vessels, which we see as a confirmation that we are heading the right direction…
PES: We would love to know if there have been any notable changes in the company or its operations?
