SOLSTAD OFFSHORE

Solstad Shipping was founded by Captain Johannes Solstad in 1964. They operate from the Norwegian city of Skudeneshavn and have an office in Aberdeen. In 1973 during the formative years of the North Sea offshore oil industry they branched out into the operations of supply vessels and continue to be noted for their innovative approach to the business. The Normand Drott and Normand Jarl which entered service in 1984 are still effective vessels, and were the best in the business when they are new. Similarly the Normand Pioneer and Progress set new standards in 1999, as did the Ulstein A101s Normand Mariner and Master at the beginning of the 21st century.

Solstad have a joint venture 50/50 with DOF which operates supply vessels in Brazil. Some details are available here NORSKAN

They have also set up a joint venture with DOF and Nortrans in Singapore to exploit Asian markets.

At the time of writing Solstad have a relatively small order book compared with other owners and apart from some ventures into construction support and maintenance, only seem to have a single anchor handler on order. This is the "Normand Ferking". We do not know what Ferking means in Norwegian, but future masters of this vessel have our sympathy.

At the review in April 2012 it can be seen that the company has taken delivery of a number of newbuildings including the Normand Oceanic which may be the most spectacular new vessel for some time. They have also taken over a number of vessels formerly operated by Rem Management as part of a joint venture. Solstad continue to be an impressive operator in all respects.

Comments	The Normand Pioneer is currently being used for laying subsea flow-lines which is the purpose of the large structure visible at the forward end of the main deck. The A-frame is used for deploying a subsea trenching device while the ship is engaged in this activity, although it can be used for placing submersibles in the water.
