The Management and staff of Ulstein IDEA equipment solutions wants to express their sincere sympathy to the people in Norway who suffered from this tragedy and provide our condolence to people that have lost their loved ones.

We are confident that Norway as a nation will come out stronger and even more united from this terrible event. 

The first projects the new company is working on exactly underline the objectives for the founding of the company;

- The projects are international and combine the Norwegian and Dutch maritime clusters

- We are working on renewable energy, oil and gas and dredging projects.

- We are working on engineering as well as EPIC (hardware) projects.

- We are developing knowledge intensive and innovative equipment that create value for our customers

In the time to come a new website will be developed (www.ulsteinidea.com).

Arjan Boezeman (concepts & sales), Gilbert Rezette (projects & engineering) or Bob Rietveldt (managing director).

The companies have entered into an MOU which will lead to an operational business in the Netherlands by the first of July 2011. A new company will be established under the name “Ulstein IDEA Equipment Solutions b.v.” which combines ULSTEIN’s offshore vessel design, marine equipment packages and construction capabilities with mission equipment design and construction of IDEA Heavy Equipment and the interfaces between them.

This is the second Ulstein venture in the Netherlands after the purchase of the majority share in Ulstein Sea of Solutions b.v. in March 2008, which demonstrates ULSTEIN’s continuous internationalisation process and to find opportunities to create value through enhanced knowledge and innovation.The unique combination of the Norwegian and Dutch maritime clusters results in a business model based on the combined knowledge and innovation which is the first of its kind.

“The successful cooperation with Ulstein Sea of Solutions has made us very confident that the cooperation with IDEA should also further enhance ULSTEIN’s foothold in the heavy offshore segment of the market”, says Tore Ulstein, COO of Design & Solutions in ULSTEIN, and continues: “Therefore we have appointed Bob Rietveldt as managing director of the new company to work in close cooperation with both Arjan Boezeman and Gilbert Rezette, the owners of IDEA Heavy Equipment.” 

Boezeman and Rezette are looking forward to this cooperation with ULSTEIN, commenting: "This will result in a strong company with a healthy growth potential and take advantage of the opportunities currently in the marketplace".
