Kraemer beats ‘fierce competition’ to Statoil contract

Statoil has awarded Kraemer Maritime a contract for supply of provisions to the company’s installations on the Norwegian continental shelf, taking effect on 1 January 2017.

The estimated contract value is around NOK 230 million ($27.8M) per year.
