“We will together with the tree suppliers work towards a more integrated concept involving the entire chain of offshore logistics, where Platform Supply Vessels (PSV) is an essential part. Aker BP aims to reorganize the value chain to drive significant improvements and increase efficiency in how we operate our assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf,” says SVP Improvement Per Harald Kongelf in Aker BP, and continues:

“The establishment of these frame agreements is the first step towards a strategic partnership with selected suppliers, with the potential to evolve into a future alliance concept.”

Aker BP will together with the selected suppliers work to develop commercial compensation models, based upon performance driven KPI’s. The goal is to secure Aker BP’s need for safe and reliable transportation of cargo to the offshore facilities.
