Offshore and oil and gas related operations place very high demands on lifting equipment, wire ropes and rigging solutions. Work is carried out in harsh weather and sea conditions, with heavy loads, strict safety requirements and little room for error.
Certex Norge supplies lifting and rigging solutions for offshore vessels, platforms, subsea operations and the supply chain, adapted to Norwegian conditions, NORSOK requirements and relevant standards.
Your challenges in the offshore sector
- Harsh environment – wind, waves, saltwater and temperature variations cause corrosion and high wear.
- Heavy and complex lifts – modules, equipment, pipes, structures and subsea components.
- Strict safety and compliance requirements – regulations, NORSOK standards and operator-specific rules.
- Limited space and complex lift paths – lifting between vessels and installations, often in motion.
- High uptime demands – failures and downtime quickly lead to significant costs and delays.
