Our collaboration with Havila Shipping ASA since 2017 has been exceptionally positive, and we look forward to continuing this successful relationship in the years to come,” said Jostein Alendal, CEO of Reach Subsea.
“I see this contract as a great recognition for Havila Shipping, Havila Subsea, and not least the crew on board for their efforts in keeping the ship in top class and ensuring that we deliver high-quality services every single day,” added Njål Sævik, CEO of Havila Shipping.
