The challenge

Offshore oil and gas drilling equipment needs to be moved to the offshore rig in certified containers and baskets. These movements are complex due to short lead times, last minute changes, cross-border traffic and other unpredictable factors. 

The journey

The client challenged several parties for ideas to improve the movement of containers and baskets. It soon became clear that we offered the best European network. Discussions were carried on exclusively.

Our solution

With our partner OEG Offshore Ltd., we analyzed the client’s historic rental data to determine what kind of units they rented in which countries/regions. We matched that with their expected upcoming business. This resulted in a solid understanding of the ideal mix of stock levels. Per country, we also gathered all needs and wishes for testing and inspections. Lastly, we scanned the existing ordering process and data registration on possible (efficiency-) improvements.

Results

It resulted in a European Rental Agreement, under which we now hold a dedicated stock at multiple European locations (Netherlands, Italy and Romania). We arrange all testing and inspection and we arrange transport to the client’s facilities or to offshore harbors. 

The client is guaranteed delivery of (inspected and tested) units against a competitive price. All in all, we deliver a much quicker and cheaper solution and up-to-date data utilization.
