The Norwegian company MD Group thinks outside the box.

We work within the maritime sector and develop smart and cost efficient solutions for handling large scale problems.

MD Group consists of a group of dedicated people with wide experience in various fields of the maritime sector. We have gained a considerable network within the oil and shipping business. We link knowledge and technology from the seismic industry, fisheries and oil & gas sector and find innovative solutions to current maritime challenges.

Drifting icebergs is a problem for rigs operating in the arctic.

Our well-tested and efficient product ICEBERGTM easily handles the problem by simply towing the iceberg. Our nets and fibre ropes are all a result of skilled handcraft combined with the best materials on the market.

Egersund Group is one of the main shareholders of MD Group.

They are one of the worlds leading producers of equipment such as pelagic trawls and fish farming nets for the fisheries and fish farming industry. This gives us unique production facilities and strong delivery capabilities.

The production facility is located in Egersund, Norway, strategically situated by the North Sea. Our modern production line provides you with hands on information and engineers ready to custom design ice management tools specifically for your needs.

Our experience from different business areas enables us to come up with realistic and cost efficient solutions for new technology within the maritime industry. We think outside the box.

In the arctic both small and large drifting icebergs represent a challenge - ICEBERGTM simply tows the problem away from the safe zone.

ICEBERGTM Towing Rope and Net Our nets are made of a custom made headline with flotation line and dyneema fibre ropes. This secures a durable construction for safe and steady towing operations in the harsh weather conditions in the arctic. The ropes are also dyneema with an ICEBERGTM cover to prevent damages.

ICEBERGTM towing ropes are delivered with over 200 tonnes breaking strength. Nothing is stronger than its weakest link - we offer to enhance possible weak parts of the rope to prevent damages, and calculate adjusted breaking strength for the actual operations.

All ICEBERGTM systems are made with focus on HSE and safe operations. Using fibre ropes also contributes to safe deck operations. In additon the ICEBERGTM cover increase crewsafety by minimizing the risk of snap-back. Both the fibre rope and cover are low on weight securing easy handling and smooth operations for man and vessel.

80, 225, 400 metres and custom made We have customized our ropes and nets to 80, 225 and 400 metres. This ensures a cost efficient product. In addition we also offer custom made ropes and nets in any size to fit your needs.

For towing small icebergs ICEBERGTM Towing Net does the job perfectly. For handling larger icebergs our ICEBERGTM Towing Rope secures the job safely.

We ensure rapid delivery on both new and serviced equipment from our facility at Egersund Group, Norway
