med opplæringsansvarlig Liv Bente Mevik fikk
vite hvor han skulle tilbringe den første delen av
læretiden.
–”Glenn Eirik, du skal til i India”, husker
jeg at Liv Bente fortalte. Jeg var kjempeglad, og
startet læretiden min på Normand Drott, forteller
han. Senere har han gått gradene i rederiet, og
i høst fikk han opprykk til overstyrmann. Denne
høsten har Hansen vært på Normand Subsea
som vikar før han skal tilbake til Normand
Flower, som i november gikk til Mexicogolfen
der skipet skal operere i en treårskontrakt for
Oceaneering.
Personlig og ekte om egne verdier
Administrasjons- og kommunikasjonskoordinator
Heine Birkeland var prosjektleder for verdifilmen,
og stod også for ide, manus og intervjuer.
–Tanken var at vi skulle fortelle om verdiene på
en personlig måte, og bygge stolthet over det
verdiene representerer, sier Birkeland. Dermed
ble ca 30 ansatte fra sjø og land invitert til en
prat om rederiets verdier - foran filmkamera.
–I steden for å ha ferdige replikker eller innleide
folk på «voice-over» , så baserte vi oss på
samtaler med våre egne ansatte. Det var nok en
uvant setting for de fleste, men de som deltok
gjorde en veldig god jobb, og selve samtalen
om verdiene våre ble på mange måter også en
bevisstgjøringsprosess for oss, forteller Birkeland.
Opptakene ble gjort over 3 dager, og til slutt
satt de igjen med 3 timer med opptak, som ble
redigert ned til en 8 minutter lang film. I den
prosessen var det mange gode kommentarer
og betratninger å velge i, så det var vanskelig å
velge hva som skulle komme med.
–Vi har fått utrolig mange positive tilbakemeldinger på verdifilmen vår, både fra folk innenfor
og utenfor selskapet. Budskapet oppleves som
personlig og ekte, en beskrivelse mange også gir
av selskapet. Filmen er også lagt ut på Solstad
Offshore sin Facebook-side, hvor den så langt er
det mest delte innlegget som er registrert blant
de ca 2000 medlemmene. Mange kommenterer
at de er stolte av selskapet, så at verdiene våre
oppleves på denne måten, tyder på at vi har oppnådd det vi ønsket med filmen, sier Birkeland.
Solstads verdifilm er tilgjengelig på våre nettsider,
og på Solstad Offshore sin Facebook-side.
Solstad launched its campaign on
values this fall, where they among
others have made a film to illustrate
their seven core values. A number of
Solstad employees participate in the
film, and Chief Officer Glenn Eirik
Hansen has contributed with footage
of work onboard.
Hansen tells us he has been a photo and film
enthusiast for a long time.
- In my free time I paraglide, which I’ve filmed on a number of occasions. Then eventually
I started filming while working onboard Normand
Flower, Hansen says. The idea was to show friends and family home at Stokmarknes, Lofotoen
how his workdays out at sea are.
- Many don’t know how advanced the operations are that offshore vessels are involved in.
That’s why I like to be able to show parts of what
we do through recordings and pictures.
Chief Officer Glenn Eirik Hansen contributed
to the film illustrating Solstad’s core values.
Windmill assignment on YouTube
This summer Normand Flower was on an
assignment for VSMC (Visser & Smit Marine
Contracting) at the wind farm Meerwind, located
in the maritime zone north of Helgoland, Germany. The construction vessel was installing a
cable between the offshore park’s windmills, and
Hansen filmed the assignment. He made a timelapse (a video clip where time goes much faster
than in real life) demonstrating some of it.
- I contacted Solstad and they gave me
permission to post the film on YouTube. The
response I’ve received both from colleagues in
Solstad and the customer has been great, Hansen says.
When Solstad was to make a film on its
values, Administration and Communications
Coordinator Heine Birkeland contacted the chief
officer, who he knew had lots of photographic material from the ship. That’s how two of
Hansen’s clips ended up in the film, shown for
the first time at the shipping conference.
- Watching your own contribution in the film
was a cool experience. I believe the clips give
some insight into how we work onboard, Hansen
says.
Apprenticeship in India
The chief officer initiated his maritime career
undergoing two years of secondary education on
training vessel Gann. He came to Solstad as an
apprentice in 2005.
- Solstad was where I wanted to work, as I
had heard so many positive things about the
company from others who had been apprentices there. The fight for apprenticeships in the
company is fierce, and I was very pleased when
I was accepted, Hansen says. Each year Solstad
gathers its new apprentices at the main office
to give them information on the apprenticeship
and the company. The apprentices are also told
which ship they will work on. Hansen tells us he
was told where he would spend the first part of
his apprenticeship when he met with Training
Manager Liv Bente Mevik.
- «Glenn Erik. You’re going to India.» I
remember Liv Bente told me. I was very pleased,
and started my apprenticeship on Normand
Drott, he says. After that he has moved up the
ladder in the company, and this fall he was
promoted to chief officer. This fall Hansen has
been on Normand Subsea as a substitute. After
that he will return to Normand Flower which in
November sailed to the Gulf of Mexico where it
will operate on a three-year contract for Oceaneering.
Genuine and personal on values
Administration and communication coordinator
Heine Birkeland was project manager for the
film on values, and was also responsible for idea,
script and interviews.
–The idea was to convey our values in a
personal way, instilling pride in the values we
represent, Birkeland says. Around 30 employees
from sea and sea land were invited to have a talk
about company values – in front of the camera.
