Marine construction contractor Ocean Installer, a subsidiary of Moreld, has been awarded a significant Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (EPCI) contract by Vår Energi. This fast-track project, known as the Balder Next New Wells, is designed to support the continued development of the Balder area. The scope of work for Ocean Installer will encompass all aspects of the EPCI process.
This contract represents one of the largest in Ocean Installer's operational history, underscoring its capabilities in complex marine construction and subsea infrastructure projects. The Balder field, located in the Norwegian North Sea, is a key asset for Vår Energi, and this project aims to enhance its long-term production.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this type of EPCI contract for offshore energy projects typically involves the movement of substantial project cargo and heavy-lift components. This can include specialized subsea equipment, pipelines, and other large modules, often requiring breakbulk shipping solutions and coordinated multimodal transport. Forwarders with expertise in project logistics and offshore support services may find opportunities in supplying the necessary transport and handling for such large-scale developments. The fast-track nature of the contract suggests a need for efficient and timely logistics execution to meet project deadlines.
