For Norwegian Greentech, it is the biggest fleet contract to date.
Norwegian Greentech senior sales manager Jon Olav Kopperstad said: “This is an incredibly important contract that we have worked on for a long time. The contract will help to ensure a high level of activity in Norwegian Greentech for many years to come.”
Norwegian Greentech sales and marketing director Børge Gjelseth said: “This contract gives us a great starting point to further develop our business, both in terms of growth in returns and the number of employees.”
Wilson general director Thorbjørn Dalsøren said: “Norwegian Greentech was chosen because they have the whole package we’ve been looking for. Small space requirement, low energy consumption and service mindedness at a competitive price.
“A few years ago, we were fairly sure we’d have to look abroad to find that kind of service. It’s particularly pleasing in this day and age that a Norwegian supplier won the contract, and that we can, therefore, help to secure jobs in the years ahead.”
The delivery of BWTS will take place during 2020–2024 period.
