Offshore helicopter services firm CHC said Monday that the Norwegian oil firm Equinor had awarded it a contract to provide crew change and search and rescue services (SAR) for its offshore installations in central Norway.
General Operations Manager, CHC HS, Per Andre Rykhus, said: "With decades of experience providing offshore operations in some of the world's most demanding environments, we see this agreement as a confirmation of our employees' and organizational competence, from a customer with perhaps the world's highest requirements for safety and quality."
One SAR aircraft will provide 24-hour standby service for the Heidrun field, ensuring safety and accessibility for the many employees working in this area. CHC will deploy five Sikorsky S-92 A aircraft in total, including two in Brønnøysund and two in Kristiansund.
