Sea1 Offshore is the new name of the international offshore and subsea shipping company following a general meeting held earlier in May.
The formal decision was made in the wake of Kristian Siem’s withdrawal and will be accompanied by a new company logo. The company stated that crew and expertise will be transferred to the new company, even if nine of the company's vessels are taken over by Kristian Siem as part of the transaction.
Apart from this, the company has assured, it will be business as usual, although Bernt Omdal, CEO of Sea1 Offshore, has his eyes set on further growth.
“A more unified ownership structure will help to set a clearer course for the company,” Omdal explained. “We continue to operate all the vessels in our fleet, including the nine that are now owned by Siem. But we have changed the name and are replacing the logos at our offices in Brazil, Australia and Canada, and at the head office in Kristiansand.
“We are witnessing the start of a new upswing,” he continued. “We consider strengthening our fleet with several new construction vessels in order to take a larger part of the market in the offshore energy sector.”
