Northern Offshore Services can proudly announce two new additions to their fleet: M/V Runner and M/V Responder. The vessels have been customized and modified to fit the N-O-S standard and high expectations of comfort and performance. Delivered during Q1 2024 for operations in Europe.

M/V Runner and M/V Responder will be hybrid vessels, reducing engine hours and decreasing CO2-emissions. The vessels will be marked with the “Green Technology” logo, as this is part of the initiative taken by N-O-S to decrease the carbon footprint in operations and make the fleet greener. Furthermore, the vessel has a large cargo capacity and has been designed for 24-hour operations. A lot of effort has been put into the design of the PAX saloon to improve the comfort and facilities for technicians being transported.
