North Star is delivering a new fleet of SOV’s to meet the evolving demand of Offshore Wind O&M operations.Our fleet is purpose built, with designs honed through industry collaboration to help deliver vessels which maximise efficiencies and on board lifestyle to reflect modern O&M strategies.
Our bespoke vessel designs integrate innovative technologies to create tangible performance gains, whilst working closely with our clients throughout operations to allow for collaborative evolutions in service.
North Stars 50 years of experience in offshore operations, industry leading practices and 135 year old supply chain come together to deliver your personnel, services, and cargo offshore, safely.
We are committed to maintaining a safety process which actively involves all employees in identifying, preventing and correcting workplace safety issues to reduce accidents and injuries.
We retain on contract over 1,000 in-house seagoing staff. Our North Star Cadet Programme commits to supporting British shipping, training in excess of 80 Deck and Engineering Cadets each year.
As a group, we’ve invested £350 million over the last 18 years in our vessels – ensuring class leading utilisation. With the exacting demands of Offshore Wind, our new-builds continue this solid growth.
With vessels placed in the North Sea and further afield, we provide support to over 50 offshore installations in the North West European Area (NWEA). This progression to support Offshore Wind increases our presence across and beyond Europe.
