Northern offshore group

Northern Offshore Group is a privately owned group consisting of a number of expansive companies operating primarily in the marine industry.

The group’s activities take place through four main companies: Northern Offshore Services, Northern Energy & Supply, American Offshore Services and N-O-S Ltd. We employ some 350 staff and have a fleet comprising just over 65 vessels.
N-O-S is an industry-leading supplier to the international offshore wind industry and provides crew transfer vessels for the transport of personnel and equipment. N-E-S serves the marine industry locally and globally within the segments Energy, Recycling and Logistics. The group’s head office is located in Gothenburg, Sweden, with branch offices in Denmark, USA, and the United Kingdom.

Northern Offshore Group’s vision is BEST365.

History

Based on more than 100 years of shipping experience and tradition

N-O-S is built on more than 100 years of shipping experience and tradition. Our founders are trained, experienced sea captains with an enormous interest in shipping. They founded the company a little more than ten years ago with one single supply boat which they operated themselves in the Gothenburg area. The journey to the offshore wind industry started with the first contract in 2008 and the company’s efficiency and skill at operating the vessel astounded everyone. The company is based on entrepreneurship, innovation, hard work and the belief that anything is possible! We are not afraid to be the first to trial new solutions, and we quickly recognised that there was significant unexplored territory and unleveraged development potential in the offshore wind industry. The first series of vessels commissioned by N-O-S were Southboats. These vessels were designed based on unique specifications as we realised that they needed to be more efficient, faster and perform better than those available on the market at that time. We quickly realised that the industry needed larger vessels and used our own experience and knowledge to develop the A-class series. The six A-class vessels were built in close collaboration with shipbuilders at a wharf in Grovfjord in Norway.

As our fleet increased, so did our need for employees within our national organisation, and it was not long before we started to outgrow our offices on Donsö. In order to retain personnel and recruit new employees, we established our head office in Saltholmen in Gothenburg and opened a secondary office in Esbjerg, Denmark, which has since relocated to Kastrup.
We proceeded to design and build a larger vessel series known as the D-class to meet the market’s needs. This series was based on N-O-S’s own requirements and is capable of carrying 12 or 24 passengers. The first D-class vessel was delivered in 2014.
With a fleet comprising more than 40 vessels and an increased demand for local presence, we have also established offices in the United Kingdom and Germany. To us, the future looks bright, and we are planning to build new revolutionary vessels and establish a presence outside of Northern Europe, in both the United States and Asia.
