Greetings from the
Fleet department
It’s getting closer to Christmas and the
end of a busy year for all of us.
Technical operation: as usual it has been
a hectic year, with planned dockings and
repairs that were more or less planned.
What is very positive is that damages and
operational delays have decreased significantly. Oskar Tveit is a new employee in
the Technical Department, Norway.
New builds delivered:
NB 724 Brattvåg,(Prosper) NB 290 Ulstein (Ranger) NB 69 Brevik (Baltic) and
NB 167 Bergen group.(Pacific)
We currently have two new builds on the
go here in our organisation NB 730 Brattvåg, and NB 755, Langstein.
Husøy has become the base we wanted
it to and is frequently visited by our boats
in the area.
Purchasing Department processes more
orders than ever and has done a great job
in keeping up to date with the large influx
of new builds and purchased boats.
SFI/PMS prosject. Star , building of databases and implementation is underway,
somewhat slower than expected as we
had less capacity to work on this than
previously anticipated.
The project has now been strengthened
by one person Tore Fykse, with the focus
on measures to reduce the workload, particularly for purchasing, and to get more
vessels over to Star.
Archive: Morten is on the ball with everything here and is starting to find some
room around him, but we would encourage you all to copy him on all new and
revised documentation so that the archive
is up todate at all times.
The Competence Group, consisting of
Sigurd Johannesen and Jan Viste, are
working steadily on various projects, with
the emphasis on improving our specifications and quality assuring the projects we
do, both for new builds and for the existing fleet.
We end this year as last year, with a thank
you to all of you at sea and onshore who
do their best so we can deal with the challenges we constantly face.

Operating a vessel is a 24/7 job and is
dependent on every person, regardless
of their position or workplace carrying out
their tasks. If we manage to do this we are
well on the way to tackle any future challenges.
With best wishes for a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!
On behalf of Solstad Fleet Department
Geir Inge Haugeberg.
