Statoilhydro and Kongsberg Maritime Collaborate on Automation and Security Systems

StatoilHydro and Kongsberg Maritime have made a general agreement for 2 years for the operation of automation and security systems delivered by Kongsberg Maritime onboard StatoilHydro's installations in the North Sea.

The agreement allows StatoilHydro to access the necessary resources and technology for optimal operation of the Kongsberg Maritime process control and automation equipment systems installed on the platforms in addition to covering any marine equipment installed, such as ballasting systems.

One important aspect of the agreement is to run as much of the work as possible onshore in order to reduce the number of trips offshore, therefore reducing costs and logistical issues for StatoilHydro's service operations.
