This office serves as a centre of excellence for the development of end-to-end solutions for carbon capture and sequestration projects. Stan Knez, Technip’s senior vice-president, Process Technology, commented: “Technip is committed to the development of innovative, sustainable solutions and we look forward to expanding into the carbon capture and sequestration value chain.” Visit: www.technip.com which has an extensive knowledge of these next-generation workboats. In 1997, KBV purchased new workboats from Norsafe, and this resulted in the design of Norsafe’s Magnum 750. 15 years later, these boats are still in active duty by KBV and are used for dive-operations, controlling speed and alcohol at sea, custom inspections and
search and rescue operations amongst other tasks. The boats are in operation from the southernmost tip of Sweden to the far north. KBV is a high-end user and gaining access to their operators is highly valuable to Norsafe. Their rich experience will benefit all of our customers. Visit: www.norsafe.com
