Havila Jupiter has been awarded the âSpot Vessel of the Yearâ award from Equinor. Morten Sundt, head of maritime operations at Equinor, said that they have many good vessels at work, and that through these awards they wanted to highlight vessels that deliver extra well.
Equinorâs strategy is âAlways safe, High value and Low carbonâ, and this reflects the awards they hand out, and for Havila Jupiter one comes under âAlways safeâ.
This is about interaction between vessels, nest teams and charterers where there is a good ceiling height, open dialogue and a nest team that is involved in the operations in a good way.
CREW AS A QUALITY FACTOR
And it is especially nice that one here brings out the quality of the effort from our crew both at sea and on land. It is not enough just with good vessels, we must deliver good services to the operators. The crew on board is a quality factor, and it is nice to see that the Havila standard is noticed and appreciated by a major player such as Equinor.
Havila Jupiter is a 92 meter long anchor handler, designed by Havyard and built by Havyard Leirvik in 2010. SĂŚvik tells Havila Jupiter has built up a good reputation in the market as a skilled anchor handler with crews who are skilled at interaction, just like the award from Equinor says.

Oil workers strike in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea ended by the Government:
The Norwegian government has stepped in to end a strike by offshore oil and gas workers that forced Equinor to temporarily shut down production at three fields and threatened to impact more than half of gas exports on the Norwegian continental shelf...
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
The Governmentâs reason to step in:
Unjustifiable:
It is unjustifiable to let gas production stop to such an extent that this strike in the next few days is estimated to lead to. Production figures fall dramatically, and this is very critical in a situation where the EU and the UK are completely dependent on energy cooperation with Norway, says Persen.
What could the workers possible strike about, being the best paid oil workers with the best conditions and safety record in the world?
The oil strike is not about kroner and øre (money), but about some lines of text and a fight about union members.
Yes I know; a strike in the GoM would be unthinkable.

Deepsea Stavanger get in the news a lot these days:
The rig Deepsea Stavanger has anchored outside Brandal on Monday. The huge construction will be lying down until Wednesday, and will then move on to Haltenbanken.

Operations manager for the rigs in Odfjell Drilling, Lars Morten Tveit, says that the reason for the location of the rig is quiet working conditions.
The rig will be lying sheltered from the weather for a short period. Some planned work must be carried out, where it is mainly heavy lifting that you must concentrate on. Shallow waters, such as in the Sulafjorden, are optimal for such work, Tveit tells Vikebladet Vestposten.
Exploration drilling on Haltenbanken
The planned maintenance will be carried out before the rig goes back into operation, on the Uer well on Haltenbanken.
It was a good fit to park the rig in the Sulafjorden, as we were able to carry out the work in a safe manner. On Wednesday, it will continue towards Haltenbanken, where it will go on exploratory drilling for Equinor.
The rig was built at the DSME shipyard in South Korea, and delivered to Odfjell Drilling in 2010. The rig can now go all the way down to 3,000 metres.

And this isnât even a new field but a redevelopment due to decommissioning of the Brent C Platform.
