The company will have two employees working on call to provide 24 hour cover to all vessels calling at the terminal. They will handle all the port agency work, in addition to handling the delivery of marine products and technical services.
Initially, the main focus will be on the LPG carriers calling at Mongstad. StatoilHydro has more than 10% of the global waterborne LPG market, and Norway ranks as the world’s third largest exporter of this product after Saudi Arabia and Algeria. Most of Statoil Hydro’s LPG is shipped in large carriers to terminals around the world, but a significant proportion travels by small ships to markets in north-western Europe.
