Built for Complex Operations. Selected by Aker BP
Aker BP has selected Olympic Notos
Aker BP has selected Olympic Notos for a long-term Walk-to-Work agreement starting in Q1 2026. The five-year contract, with options for another five, will put one of Olympic’s most advanced vessels to work across demanding operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
The assignment includes support for the unmanned Munin platform in the Yggdrasil area, as well as the Valhall PWP-Fenris hook-up campaign in 2026.
Why Notos? Built for Demanding North Sea Operations
Assignments like these require more than simply getting people and equipment from one place to another. Personnel must be transferred safely between vessel and installation, operations need to continue reliably through changing North Sea conditions, and the vessel must provide a stable and efficient platform for people working offshore over extended periods.
That is where Olympic Notos comes into its own. Based on the ULSTEIN SX222 design, the hybrid-powered CSOV combines year-round operability and Walk-to-Work capabilities with high fuel efficiency and a working and living environment designed for extended periods at sea.
For Olympic, this is where advanced vessel design ultimately proves its value: not in the technology itself, but in what it enables customers and crews to accomplish offshore.
For Olympic, it is a significant contract win.
For Olympic, the contract is more than a significant win. It is a strong validation of the fleet strategy the company has pursued – investing in flexible, advanced vessels built for the complex maritime operations.
A long-term commitment from one of the Norwegian Continental Shelf’s major operators is a strong endorsement – not only of Olympic Notos, but of the thinking behind Olympic’s fleet strategy: developing flexible, advanced vessels built to support increasingly demanding offshore operations.
It also strengthens Olympic’s long-term activity across both oil and gas and renewable energy. With the Aker BP contract, the company’s total backlog across the two markets now exceeds USD 500 million.
It's a clear endorsement of our flexible fleet, our people, and our long-term strategy for sustainable offshore operations,” says Stig Remøy.
