Norway's NorSea Group has recently announced the purchase of the Danish base and logistics company Danbor. In addition to enhancing the global presence of NorSea Group, Danbor will significantly boost the company's capability in the wind power market.
Danbor's head office is in Esbjerg and its principal operations are on the Danish shelf, where it is a supplier to Mærsk Oil and Dansk Undergrunds Consortium (DUC). Danbor also has operations in Montrose and Aberdeen in Scotland, as well as a base joint venture with Royal Arctic Line in Greenland.
The acquisition of Danbor will give NorSea Group a significant presence in Denmark, as well as enhancing its presence in the United Kingdom. The company is now capable of serving customers throughout the North Sea basin.
In recent years, Danbor has also become well established in the wind power market, where the NorSea Group wishes to increase its focus. Esbjerg is a focal point of the European wind turbine industry, and Danbor has contracts in the fields of logistics operations and the repair and maintenance of both offshore and land-based wind turbines.
The purchase represents bold new steps by NorSea into the international market.
NorSea Group is a leading supplier of base and logistics services to the oil and gas industry. The company also has offices in Aberdeen in Scotland and Perth in Australia.
