NorSea Vestbase’s location offers optimum conditions for providing efficient services for the oil & gas industry. The terminal and quay facilities ensure accessibility and capacity for bulk handling and handling of large individual jobs.

About Vestbase

Terminal Services

We offer a wide range of port services, including loading and unloading of vessels and trucks, internal transport, bulk handling and bunker deliveries. We also offer handling of OCTG as well as personell and transport sevices.

Technical Services

NorSea Vestbase offers a range of technical services, including industrial cleaning, preservation and inspection. Efficient solutions obviate the need for inefficient transport or exposure to damage, and Vestbase has the necessary facilities to achieve this. Partners are adept at working in teams, meaning that multi-discipline maintenance can be performed «on the spot».

Riser Certification

NorSea Vestbase has long experience with mobilisation and demobilisation, inspection and certification of risers. In conjunction with contractors, we undertake all kinds of service and re-certification needed on workover risers to meet current standards, including DNV-RP-E101.

Disposal of Flexible Risers

NorSea Vestbase has developed a unique system, depot and equipment for the disposal of rejected flexible risers. The disposal depot is located close to quay #2 where the risers are stacked, and this means that emissions can be cut to a minimum and operations can meet appropriate safety standards.

Technical Cleaning

Equipment often needs to be preserved prior to storage, inspection, or before shipping to other locations. Among the operations are desalination, flushing to remove algae, mollusks and other marine growth, anti-corrosion measures, removal of flaking paintwork and simple assembly and disassembly.

Preservative coating, NDT inspections and other relevant services are offered for equipment, as necessary, in partnership with specialist contractors. Vestbase has a state of the art cleaning facility, including an ultra-high-pressure cleaning unit.

Preservation

The offshore industry is dependent on specialised equipment, which requires significant investment. This equipment is stored on a standby basis. Vestbase offers recognised preservation methods to prevent atmospheric or weather damage, also for outdoor storage. Preservation is a cheap and effective investment to keep and conserve equipment.

Warehouse

NorSea Vestbase offer tailor-made warehouse services with a dedicated unit managing the multi-client warehouse. This provides warehouse services on behalf of clients which need local support. This concept is ideal for clients which have goods in transit outbound/inbound, and therefore need services such as;

Goods receipt
Storage / Storage control
Documentation
Custom / Declaration / Bonded area etc.
Packing / Securing
Liaison with third parties
Dispatch

Flexibility & Customer Alignment

Key to our policy is the ability to be flexible and to align with the ever-changing needs of present and future customers.
At Vestbase there is easy access to heavy machinery for cargo loading and discharge, internal transport, crane facilities and more. The shared perimeter security and joint industrial defence organisation means you can concentrate on what you do best and leave joint-related concerns to us.

Personnel & Offshore Positions

Our personnel can offer a wide range of services and expertise. This includes project and logistics coordinators, material management and material coordinators for drilling and operating supplies and storage services. We also assist with expertise in administrative and management tasks.
