Ocean Installer

Ocean Installer is a Norwegian marine construction and subsea contractor focused on offshore energy, with activities spanning oil and gas, decommissioning and offshore wind. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Stavanger, it delivers full-scope EPCI (engineering, procurement, construction and installation) services for subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF), mooring systems and associated infrastructure. The company provides project management, engineering, construction and offshore installation, including pipelaying and pipeline repair, seabed survey, light intervention and IMR, subsea and SURF engineering, and decommissioning of moorings, risers, umbilicals and pipelines with associated cutting, recovery, towing and disposal. Its asset‑light model combines long‑term charters and spot vessels – notably Normand Vision and North Sea Giant – typically utilising up to 15 vessels a year. Ocean Installer operates globally from bases in Stavanger (head office), Oslo, Stord, Aberdeen and Dubai, with around 280 employees and a workforce drawn from more than 30 nationalities. It has executed more than 100 projects worldwide, including long‑running SURF and mooring work on Vår Energi’s Balder area developments, decommissioning contracts in the UK North Sea, FPSO tow and hook‑up assignments, and a construction scope on Equinor’s Hywind Tampen floating wind project. The company is increasingly active in emerging segments such as large‑scale floating offshore wind, where it is marine construction and operations partner in the Offshore Floating Wind Alliance, and in carbon capture and storage and IRM markets. Ocean Installer was owned by HitecVision until its 2024 acquisition by the Moreld group. It now sits as a standalone sister company to Moreld Apply and Global Maritime, contributing subsea installation and offshore renewables capabilities to a broader engineering and marine services group. Safety performance, people and culture, and a collaborative “CARE” value set underpin its project execution and have been recognised through industry awards.
