ESVAGT has many vessels working in the energy sector in Great Britain, where ESVAGT supports offshore wind and oil and gas production.

Brexit demands more planning

Brexit has changed the way ESVAGT works in Great Britain. Having the right equipment and personnel in place now takes more planning and more time.

'The Goliat lies in 350-metre-deep ice-cold waters north of the Arctic circle. It's dark half the year and our work demands our constant, unerring attention. We are justifiably proud that the vessel and crew have done their job perfectly for 8 years'

’Esvagt Aurora’ doing a fantastic job

Eight years of service on the Barents Sea have demonstrated that the ’Esvagt Aurora’ is ideally suited to working in Arctic regions. The vessel and its crew have saved lives and even extinguished a fire on land.

19-year-old Asbjørn Morell suffered a cardiac arrest in the middle of the North Sea and was dead for almost two hours, while his colleagues performed CPR on him. He is now back to work and his colleagues nominated for the 2021 Heart Saving Award.

Almost two hours of CPR saved Asbjørn’s life

The young seaman Asbjørn Morell was healthy, in good health and fit, when he most unexpectedly suffered a cardiac arrest in the North Sea. His colleagues on board the vessel ‘Esvagt Cantana’ fought for hours to save him.

The ‘Esvagt Bravo’ has been a turning point in the development of ESVAGT’s competences and safety culture. Earlier this year, the vessel signed off after 39 years of loyal service.

“It is essential that ESVAGT maintains its advantage in sailing Fast Rescue Boats (FRB) and a team of recently appointed FRB assessors will contribute significantly to that” says Steffen Rudbech Nielsen, Head of Ship Management, Operation.

Raising FRB competences

ESVAGT is investing significantly in strengthening and developing Fast Rescue Boat (FRB) sailing skills for its employees.

ESVAGT is mapping boat handling competences to maintain and develop its competitive advantage.

Safety and quality strengthened by developing boat handling competences

“Whether the job is rescuing people in high seas or sailing wind technicians safely around an offshore wind farm, the skills of those on board the vessels are critical for ESVAGT's success. That is why we are mapping and developing the competences on board our vessels”, says Steffen Rudbech Nielsen, Head of Ship Management, Operations.
