Norway’s coastline and maritime industries place high demands on lifting and mooring equipment. Ships, offshore-related vessels, fishing boats, aquaculture facilities and ports operate in harsh, corrosive environments where safety and reliability are critical.

Certex Norge supplies lifting, rigging and mooring solutions for marine and port operations, tailored to Norwegian conditions and regulations.

We support shipowners, shipyards, offshore-related operators, fisheries, aquaculture companies, terminals and service providers.

Your challenges in marine and port operations

Typical challenges include:

  • Harsh environment – saltwater, wind, waves and temperature variations
  • Heavy and awkward loads – ship components, cargo units, nets, equipment and structures
  • High safety requirements – regulations, classification requirements and internal HSE standards
  • Need for uptime – downtime in port or at sea quickly becomes costly
  • Corrosion and wear – equipment is exposed and often in use year-round

We help you choose solutions that withstand the environment and maintain safety over time.
