SOLSTAD 60 YEARS!   The last decade has been marked by many changes, but we continue to be Solstad, all thanks to the incredible people we have in the company, who make Solstad what it is today.   Today we release our last video, a reflection of the last 10 years with Lars Peder Solstad, which is all about the people!   Happy 60 Years of Solstad, and we can't wait for what the future brings! 

Solstad 2000s to 2014! From the 2000s to 2014, Solstad experienced significant growth, entering the subsea market at an early stage. The 50th anniversary year was marked by the ordering of Normand Maximus, one of the largest offshore vessels ever built, and the company's continued international expansion. As we approach our 60th anniversary on August 31st, stay tuned for the next chapter of our story, reflecting on the last 10 years! 

Solstad in the 90s to 2000s! To mark the next chapter in our history we get to know more about Lars Peder Solstad and his journey in the company, from his start at sea to becoming CEO of Solstad. “Thinking new” has characterized both Johannes and Lars Peder Solstad, and it was this mindset that made the basis for Solstad to become a world-leading subsea shipping company.

Solstad in the 70s and 80s!   The mid-eighties presented a challenging time for the offshore industry, marked by low oil prices and scarce contracts.   The acquisition of a significant contract with Mobile was essential to both secure and develop the company. Enjoy the video, stay tuned, and continue to follow our countdown towards the 60th anniversary!

Solstad in the 60s and 70s! To celebrate Solstad's 60th anniversary, the second video will present the company's entry to the North-Sea offshore market. Stay tuned to learn more about our story!

Solstad 1964 - The Beginning Join us as we embark on our journey, celebrating 60 years of Solstad!   Starting today, we will share posts filled with stories from our beginning in 1964 to our present day in 2024.   Stay tuned for more of our story in the days to come, and let's celebrate the anniversary together!

Disembarking Normand Navigator - Day 5 "It has been an absolute pleasure to be onboard this week and spend time with the crew, partners and clients. My experience is that the moment you enter a ship you can immediately recognize a well driven vessel. It is clean, tidy, well-maintained and you are warmly welcomed onboard. This is the case on Normand Navigator. I have made a few reflections during the week, and one of them is that we must never forget how important everyone onboard is for the final result. It is about the crew on bridge, engine and deck, but it is also about the catering crew who are essential for the working environment onboard and the trainees/cadets, that with their high motivation, learn from the more experienced sailors.  It is about mutual respect between nationalities, and it is about making one-team between the vessel crew, clients and various contractors that always are a part of a subsea project. Thank you Captain Bjørn Brun for having me onboard this week. I have been very well taken care of and will come back to my onshore-based office with new ideas and full of inspiration.”    - Lars Peder Solstad In the picture: Peter Jhon Barrido, Emecel Franco, Eldorado Villaruz and Lars Peder Solstad.

Sailing with Normand Navigator Day 4 Regardless of technical solutions or alternative fuels, operational measures will have a significant and immediate effect on the vessel’s fuel consumption and thereby emissions. Operational measures are what Solstad Green Operations is all about, and it works! While onboard and sailing along the Norwegian coast, CEO Lars Peder Solstad, Captain Bjorn Brun, and Chief Engineer Stian Grasdal discussed the environmental measures they have implemented onboard over a cup of coffee.   Since January 2024, Normand Navigator has already completed 167 SGOs, which are operational initiatives to reduce fuel consumption and air emissions, and they have successfully saved 175 tons of fuel year to date. Solstad Green Operations are being done onboard all of our vessels. Every day, all year around, and the results of the crew's efforts are impressive. Since Solstad Green Operations was started in 2009, the fuel consumption has been reduced with over 350 000 tons. It is common sense and everyone wins – specially the environment.
