Stig Remøy

President & CEO

This summer all eyes are on Brazil as host

of the FIFA World Cup. For those of us who

are both fond of Brazil and football, it is

very interesting days. To run a company and

a football team is of course very different,

but there is one very important common

key to success; Teamwork.

Operating a vessel, a department or a

company is not a one-man show. To

achieve our targets the teams within

Olympic have to work in the same direction,

towards a common goal. Our most

important common goal is to perform safe,

environmentally friendly and efficient ship

operations.

It is important to recognize that new

standards and requirements in our business

has a high focus on team competence.

This autumn starts a new era for Fosnavåg

when the new hotel opens with a state of

the art offshore simulator. Simulators are

and will be more important for developing

both individual and team competence

skills.

In a company, like in football, it is not

always the most visible players that are

the most important to be successful.

Sometimes it is the defensive midfielder

who does the hard work and really creates

the opportunity for the team. So, if you

sometimes feel like a defensive midfielder

in your work day, you are probably doing a

very important job!

Last year Olympic joined the United Nations

Global Compact initiative for company

social responsibility. This year we launched

our policy for social responsibility and

equal opportunity. Some of it is may seem

self-evident, but for Olympic who is now

operating worldwide it is essential that we

take a stand on human rights, labor rights,

environmental issues and anti-corruption.

In fotball there is a good phrase for this;

We want our operations and business to

be characterized by Fair Play.

Olympic keeps on growing. This year the

company added Olympic Boa to our fleet,

a sophisticated subsea vessel which we

are certain will serve both our company,

the seafarers and the customer well . We

are looking forward to work with our new

client Boa Marine Services.

We have also entered contracts with

Kleven Verft AS on two IRM vessels of

MT6021 designs to be delivered in 2015.

Olympic is, according to brokers, the 6th

largest ship owner of subsea vessels in the

world. The group now operates a total of

25 vessels. As we grow, it is important for

all of us to remember that it is the quality

of our services on each individual ship that

matters for our customers.

In addition, Olympic has during 2014

secured several contracts that lay a good

foundation for the future.

We recently announced a 3-year contract

+ options with Bibby Offshore for Olympic

Ares, and we have also secured a contract

with Bibby for the first new building in

2015. We are also pleased that we secured

a contract with Statoil for Olympic Energy,

giving the vessel the opportunity to use

LNG as its main energy source.

It is also exciting to take part in several

of the offshore wind park projects going

on in Europe. Wind parks are part of the

solution for a cleaner future. In June, we

got the good news that the Norwegian

government has given the maritime cluster

in Sunnmøre the status as GCE- Global

Centre of Expertize. This recognition is a

credit to all of us working world wide and

for the maritime industry based in our area.

Olympic is a success story, but like in

football, we need to remember to stay

hungry, to be the best we can, and to keep

focus on the next match.

Henry Ford once said: “Coming together is

a beginning. Keeping together is progress.

Working together is success.”

I hereby wish you all a good summer!

KII The naming ceremony of our new vessel

Olympic Boa took place at Kleven verft

March 29th. Sunnmøre showed its

best side this day with sunshine from a

cloudless sky. It was a perfect backdrop for

the ceremony which was performed in an

excellent way by vessel godmother Iren

Bjerkan. Iren Bjerkan is married to Helge

Røraas, President and Chief Executive

Officer at BOA Marine Services, who has

chartered the vessel for the next three

years plus options.

Olympic Boa is a subsea construction

- I feel like the actor John Cleese in the

role of Basil Fawlty in the television

series Fawlty Towers, laughs Geir Arthur

Angelsen. The jovial man from Lofoten has

started on a new chapter in his career. As

the captain on board the newest ship in the

Olympic Shipping fleet, “Olympic Boa”, he

gets the feeling of being a hotel director.

But in contrast to the sitcom, there is no

question of who’s the boss on board.

There was never any doubt of where his

livelihood would be. Geir Arthur Angelsen

grew up by the seashore in the small fishing

village of Napp in the Lofoten Islands.

Boating and seamanship came as natural

to him as his mother’s milk. He wanted

to be a fisherman. More schooling after

mandatory education was not an option;

he was in a hurry to get to work at sea.

Both before and after his military service

he worked on board fishing vessels. But

then the hunger came to learn more and

get more responsibility. In 1986, he took the

first part of the fishing captain education

at the Nordland Fishery Vocational School.

After several more trips on fishing vessels,

he completed his education as a captain at

Bodø Captain School in 1992 and changed

occupation to the coastal lines, working

for Nor-Cargo. However, in 1998, he was

tempted to try his fortune in the supply and

offshore industry. He gained considerable

experience both from Simon Møgster and

DOF before joining Olympic Shipping in

July 2008.

NEW CHALLENGES

- I had to revitalize myself, he chuckles.

That’s why he signed up with the shipping

company in Fosnavaag. The 49-year-

old became the captain of “Olympic

Intervention IV” for four years in the Gulf

of Mexico. A subsea-vessel with cranes,

several remote operated vessels (ROVs)

and helipad has multiple and more

extensive challenges and responsibilities

to offer than an ordinary supply vessel.

- Sometimes I wished for more human

resources in order to be able to resolve the

duties faster, he remembers, but he is quick

to emphasize that they never compromised

on safety. The job would just have to last

the time needed to be executed safely.

When going home, the boat was to be

handed over in the same condition, or

preferably better, as when they came on

board.

-Damage or injuries to people and vessel is

not acceptable, he proclaims.

In July 2012, Angelsen went on board as

the captain of “Olympic Challenger” in

Newcastle. This stint lasted two interesting

years, working both in the North Sea and

in West Africa. He found Ghana to be an

unexpected positive surprise:

-We hear so much negative talk about

Africa and some of it is probably true. But

I experienced Ghana as a very pleasant

country, easy to work from. The people

there were nice and friendly to work with,

‘ he says.

EMPATHY AND ROBBER STORIES

Good humor goes down well with

Angelsen. He himself is certainly known as

a man not lacking in the joke department,

although he also knows how to put his

foot down whenever necessary. But mostly

the quick replies and laughter comes easy:

-A good tale is like valium, good mood

makes the days go a little smoother, he

laughs. He wants the crew to enjoy their

periods at work. A light tone and a low

threshold make talking to one another

easier, also when difficult and personal

issues are at stake. Having problems at

home means struggling at work as well. It

does happen that someone needs to go

home without being sick. Then solutions

must be found that doesn’t compromise

regulatory compliance and safety.

-Empathy, ‘ he says, -that’s the key to job

satisfaction.

He highly values Olympics policy of not

always playing strictly by the rules of

the working agreements, but to prioritize

human and social needs.

CLOSE CONTACT

As captain, Angelsen has the huge

responsibility of humans, the vessel and

the equipment. He thinks it’s important to

know the people he’s dealing with, both on

board and on land. The fact that Olympic

FAW

has a high focus on getting the crews on

board and the employees on land to know

each other is decisive. He enjoys his job and

has no intentions of changing employer.

-We manage valuable assets together. It

is important to know one another, to have

faces to relate to. That makes getting in

touch easier and is a great strength, he

says. The formal meetings are a necessity,

but likely important is the informal chat

during coffee breaks, dinners and other

arrangements every now and then. Having

the guys from the main office visiting on

board the vessels is much appreciated. The

management meeting carried out on board

the “Olympic Boa” in May is one example.

And of course it is very popular to have Stig

and Vegard on board, communicating with

the crew.

-Everyone likes to see the boss, Angelsen

laughs.

«OLYMPIC BOA»

However, when the vessel leaves the dock,

he is the boss. Having been in charge of

supervision during construction, Angelsen

boarded “Olympic Boa” as captain the

same April day earlier this year when

Kleven yard handed the ship over to

Olympic Shipping. Focus during the first

trip was mostly on getting all systems

up and running as expected. The vessel

also went to the Netherlands to have the

hydraulic footbridge mounted. This bridge

is essential in the mission of being a hotel

vessel for Chevron in the English sector of

the North Sea.

-This is an entirely new task and the reason

why I feel like John Cleese, he snickers. But

the Hotel at Sea is totally different from

the small family hotel in the TV-series, no

expenses are spared on board.

LUXURY

-The standard is significantly above the

norm. We have received much praise, he

proudly proclaims. Satellite-TV, fitness

room, internet access, fine cuisine and nice

cabins help making off-time pleasant for the

guests working in 14-days shifts on the rig.

The vessel is positioned about 500 meters

from the rig. Every 12 hours the ship is

maneuvered close enough to press the

footbridge to the rig, allowing people

to walk safely to and fro, in all kinds of

weather. Accommodation of 70-75 guests

and a crew of about 25 make Angelsen

responsible of the safety of about 100

people.

-The safety, making sure that all of our

guests live by the regulations on board

might become the largest challenge, he

believes. The goal is to perform perfectly in

order to have Olympic winning the contract

the next time as well. He also considers it

a primary function to make sure each crew

member is given duties and challenges to

grow on personally.

-That’s all about taking care of Olympics

seeds, he smiles, looking forward to his

next trip. But he also enjoys being at home

in Gravdal in the Lofoten Islands with his

wife Sidsel. Having three children aged 16-

25 years old and two grandchildren at the

age of 7 and 3, he has seeds to take care of

there as well.

ESThe majority of you have never met them.

To most of the crew in Olympic Shipping,

Christina Kvalsund and Therese Haugen

are names in e-mails, for some a voice

on the phone. Nevertheless, these two

ladies have a central place in the life of

employees on sea and land. It’s them that

keep the wages coming.

They are not the kind of persons that

steals the limelight. That doesn’t mean

they are passive, they are rather happy

and smiling, doing their job without big

gestures and fuss. “Dutiful, structured,

clever, quiet, always positive, fixing issues”

are some of the characteristics given from

colleagues in the administration. They

are taking the charge at social events at

work as well, and that’s when they make

an exception. This is when Christina and

Therese will mandate everyone to pay

attention: They make and manage the quiz

rounds.

COMMON BACKGROUND

Both are from the Herøy municipality, with

Christina from Nerlandsøy and Therese

from Eggesbønes. They met and became

friends in the secondary school and have

stayed friends since. They played handball

together, frequents the same social club

and in the ‘russ’ period, they participated in

the same “russebus” along with five boys.

(For foreign readers: Russ is the period

when Norwegian youths celebrate having

finished obligatory school and being about

to step into adulthood. This is a period the

young look forward to and parents fear.

Important ingredients are weird “uniforms”,

and pooling of funds to recondition used

vans with big music systems. The vans are

painted the same color as the clothes,

bright red or blue, and then used as a

party venue and for transport. Tip: get your

Norwegian colleagues to tell stories from

their russ period....!)

After the secondary school both Christina

and Therese decided getting higher

education, but chose different directions.

Christina is a trained computer engineer,

Therese has a bachelor in export

marketing. Both found boyfriends from the

surrounding area and became residents in

the home municipality after studies were

completed. Today, they are 33 years old

and mothers of two young boys each.

WORK COLLEAGUES

Christina was the first to obtain a job

with company Olympic and started in the

payroll department in 2003. Two years

later, Therese joined as a substitute when

Christina was to have maternity leave.

Since then, both have become permanent

employees. The development in duties

and responsibility has been formidable:

-The payroll was simpler in the beginning,

but the equipment was worse, says

Christina and they both laugh when telling

stories about the old matrix printer used

to write out the payslips. It could take the

whole day, and the noise was so loud that

although all the doors were closed, it was

difficult for colleagues at the other offices

to talk on the phone. Communicating with

the vessels crew by e-mail was rare. They

used fax machines and there was little

personal contact. Local crew members

would come by the office every now and

then when being at home, and there

would be an infrequent phone call when

someone needed answers to questions

about their wages.

Payroll and tax rules were less complicated

back then. When Christina began her

career in the company, Olympic Shipping

had seven offshore vessels, a research

vessel and a fishing boat. There were

fewer people on board than today, most

were Norwegians and all the vessels were

operating in the North Sea or in Norwegian

waters. Today, Christina and Therese are in

charge of the payroll for the crew of 21

vessels. In addition, they do the pay for

stipends, construction supervisors and

the administration on land. Several of

the ships are advanced subsea-vessels

operating globally, and about 20 percent

of the crew members are non-Norwegians.

All this results in much more to consider

for the payroll to be correct.

COLLABORATION

-It’s nice to have someone to discuss the OLYMPIC SUMMER MAGAZINE 2014

issues with, says Therese. She and Christina

are dividing the ships between them, both

being responsible of about the same

amount of vessels. After each trip, the

captain sends an updated list of who was

on board and for how long. Then, expense

reports, vacation days and all the other

variables of each person are calculated.

Having a lot of employees from various

countries means dealing with different

taxing authorities. It is a challenge to keep

track, the job is demanding and extensive.

Everyone is supposed to get their wage at

the right time and with the right amount

of money.

After the payroll, duties such as reports

to the tax authorities, invoicing, periodic

reports, sick leave, pensions, social

security and much more are waiting. They

share these duties between them so

that they both are able to support and

provide backup to one another. In addition,

Christina is responsible for keeping the

personnel system updated and Therese

deals with everything NAV related. And

of course, they are both available for crew

members in need of help or assistance

with their wages.

They are getting more help themselves

too: Recently Toril Zahl Remøy was added

to the payroll department. Soon her name

will become familiar as well to the crews

receiving their paychecks by e-mail.

GOOD WORKING ENVIRONMENT

-The job is very nice and varied, we never

have time to be bored, Therese smiles.

Christina agrees. They both thrives having

big responsibilities. Challenging and

demanding duties are what make the

job interesting. Being allowed to work

independently is a benefit as well. They

emphasize the good and informal work

environment with nice colleagues and

think it’s exciting to be part of a company

in such great growth.

- And also, I must mention the fantastic

lunches Monica prepares that really adds

to the job satisfaction, says Christina with

a smile, getting a nod of approval from

Therese. The two of them are having

yet another plus adding to their well-

being at work; The fact that they know

each other so well, both personally and

jobwise, means always having someone to

discuss issues with who understands what

it’s all about. Neither one of them have

any plans of changing employer. And just

like other mothers of small children, they

never run out of topics to talk about. But

it does happen that job talk pops up also

when being together off work.

Offshore wind energy is an increasing

market and Olympic is also this year

involved in several projects. Both Olympic

Taurus, Commander and Triton has

performed their services on wind parks in

Southern North Sea and the Baltic Sea.

The picture on top of this page is from

Olympic Triton who has been performing

cable laying on the Borkum Riffgrund

project.

Olympic Triton was hired to deploy the

power cables between the new windmills

to the platform. The cables were loaded

in Nordenham/ Bremerhaven with Nexans.

The job was estimated to be 150/160 days,

but was actually performed in around 70

days!

Borkum Riffgrund 1 offshore wind farm

has a total capacity of 312 MW and is

located in the German North Sea, 37 km

north of the island Borkum. 77 foundations

are monopiles with transition pieces,

the 78th position consists of a Suction

Bucket Jacket, which will be installed for

the first time in an offshore wind farm.

The installation of the wind turbines will

begin in summer 2014. Borkum Riffgrund 1

will then be producing green electricity for

around 320,000 German households every

year.

KOlympic vessels have in 2013 and 2014

sucessfully participated in several “Walk

there is installed a high-tech offshore

personnel transfer system where the

motion compensation platform allows

easy, fast and safe access from the vessel

to offshore structures, even in high wave

conditions. WTW is a increasing trend

where one transfers offshore crew from

various types of vessels to offshore oil &

gas platforms, offshore turbines, FPSO’s

and all other fixed and floating structures

at sea. In End of June Olympic Boa had

already performed 2500 transfers. The

EY –

Since the 50s there has been conducted

a significant amount of research on the

impact of the organisational culture and

working environment on employees’

satisfaction, performance, loyalty to the

organisation and their level of absenteeism.

More recently, researchers have found

employees’ perception of work also to have

influence on organisational goals, such as

safety, innovation and customer satisfaction.

We know that employees who are

motivated are more likely to deliver high

quality work. We know that employees

who perceive the safety procedures to be

easily understandable are more likely to

work safely. And we know that employees

who feel they are in a position to influence

Olympic’s environmental footprint are

more likely to shut down engines and try to

operate with optimal energy efficiency.

Consultancy firm Evidente is based in Oslo

but have their roots in Fosnavåg. Evidente

is working with many of Norway’s largest

companies in measuring and developing

working environment and organisation

culture. Together with Marine Q, Evidente is

delivering an employee survey that is tailor

made for the shipping industry. For Olympic,

this survey has been further developed

so that it’s now tightly linked to both our

corporate values and organisational goals.

This employee survey will be sent to all

captains in Q3. The captains will be asked

to distribute the survey to all employees

and to follow up to ensure that all are

given the chance to complete. The survey is

anonymous and the results will be applied

to identify areas for improvement, both at

organisation and vessel level.

Despite the growing interest within the

maritime industry in developing working

environment and organisational culture,

relatively few companies are still applying

such measurements. Implementing this

tailor made employee survey highlights

Olympic’s position as an innovative company

who’s at the forefront of the development.

We have put behind us the first half of

2014 and it’s been busy for us working with

the RIMFROST brand.

In February we launched the RIMFROST

Sublime krill oil in the biggest pharmacy

chain in the Norway, Vitus Apotek, Ditt

Apotek and Sykehusapotekene. We have

followed up with roadshows, visiting many

of the stores around the country. Feel free

to visit the website for more information in

Norwegian: www.rimfrostkrill.no.

The first trade show of the year was in

Anaheim at Engredea, a large exhibition

were the RIMFROST team attended for the

first time. During the show, we got the Best

Partnership award for our joint venture

with Avoca to supply krill the global

markets. The recognition of our work is

highly appreciated. This is the 3rd award

we receive since we launched the brand in

2012 and the team are very proud of the

achievements we have made.

In May, our PhD. Student Marie Ramsvik

participated at the 105th AOCS annual

meeting, hosted in Texas. AOCS, the

American Oil Chemists’ Society, is an

international organization providing a

support network for those involved with

science and technology related to fats,

oils, surfactants, and related materials.

Marie attended to present a poster within

the Health and Nutrition Division and her

research results from a pre-clinical study

examining the health effect of Antarctic

krill meal

For the European marked, the biggest event

of the year is defenatley the Vitafoods

show. This year, as last, we joined Bioriginal

at our common stand and had three very

busy days. The interest for krill has moved

from purely an information need, to

specific requests for both oil and powder.

We hosted another “Taste of Norway” event

and had about 200 people stopping by.

This has become an important happening

as it attracts clients from different

companies and businesses, new and old

acquaintances that are interested in what

we do.

On Thursday, at the Seminar Theatre, Inge

Bruheim presented his new exciting quality

markers of RIMFROST Sublime krill oil. The

findings will increase knowledge about our

krill operation and the RIMFROST Krill

Collection. The whole live presentation

is published on our YouTube channel,

RIMFROST KRILL.

We can see that the fall is going to be very

exciting, and we have many projects in the

works.

Before that, we would like to wish all a

brilliant summer and a kindly reminder not

to forget to take Rimfrost Krill with you on

your holiday.

was attended by top officials from

both companies. Representing Abojeb

were Ramon Villordon Jr., President,

Ms. Asuncion and Janice Capile, Senior

Crewing Manager. Representing Olympic

AS were President and CEO Stig Remøy,

Deputy CEO John Arne Winsnes, Senior

Vice President for Crewing Are Halkjelsvik.

The management team visited the AJ

Centre of Excellence and the Norwegian

Training Centre Manila.

The visit was rewarding and the team

got to meet many people and exchanged

experiences and information.

This joint venture was established to

have more control, predictability and

possibility for competence building for our

international crew. It gives also much better

possibility for system integration with

regards to competence documentation.

This autumn Thon hotel Fosnavåg opens

its doors for the public. In the hotel area

opens also Fosnavåg Offshore Simulator

This simulator centre will be a very

important arena to train and develop

both individual and team competence. We

also see forward to bringing our seafarers

to Fosnavåg increasing the interaction

between office and fleet.

The leader conference 2014 will of course

be arranged at this hotel in Fosnavåg!
