Stig Remøy
President & CEO
This summer all eyes are on Brazil as host
of the FIFA World Cup. For those of us who
are both fond of Brazil and football, it is
very interesting days. To run a company and
a football team is of course very different,
but there is one very important common
key to success; Teamwork.
Operating a vessel, a department or a
company is not a one-man show. To
achieve our targets the teams within
Olympic have to work in the same direction,
towards a common goal. Our most
important common goal is to perform safe,
environmentally friendly and efficient ship
operations.
It is important to recognize that new
standards and requirements in our business
has a high focus on team competence.
This autumn starts a new era for Fosnavåg
when the new hotel opens with a state of
the art offshore simulator. Simulators are
and will be more important for developing
both individual and team competence
skills.
In a company, like in football, it is not
always the most visible players that are
the most important to be successful.
Sometimes it is the defensive midfielder
who does the hard work and really creates
the opportunity for the team. So, if you
sometimes feel like a defensive midfielder
in your work day, you are probably doing a
very important job!
Last year Olympic joined the United Nations
Global Compact initiative for company
social responsibility. This year we launched
our policy for social responsibility and
equal opportunity. Some of it is may seem
self-evident, but for Olympic who is now
operating worldwide it is essential that we
take a stand on human rights, labor rights,
environmental issues and anti-corruption.
In fotball there is a good phrase for this;
We want our operations and business to
be characterized by Fair Play.
Olympic keeps on growing. This year the
company added Olympic Boa to our fleet,
a sophisticated subsea vessel which we
are certain will serve both our company,
the seafarers and the customer well . We
are looking forward to work with our new
client Boa Marine Services.
We have also entered contracts with
Kleven Verft AS on two IRM vessels of
MT6021 designs to be delivered in 2015.
Olympic is, according to brokers, the 6th
largest ship owner of subsea vessels in the
world. The group now operates a total of
25 vessels. As we grow, it is important for
all of us to remember that it is the quality
of our services on each individual ship that
matters for our customers.
In addition, Olympic has during 2014
secured several contracts that lay a good
foundation for the future.
We recently announced a 3-year contract
+ options with Bibby Offshore for Olympic
Ares, and we have also secured a contract
with Bibby for the first new building in
2015. We are also pleased that we secured
a contract with Statoil for Olympic Energy,
giving the vessel the opportunity to use
LNG as its main energy source.
It is also exciting to take part in several
of the offshore wind park projects going
on in Europe. Wind parks are part of the
solution for a cleaner future. In June, we
got the good news that the Norwegian
government has given the maritime cluster
in Sunnmøre the status as GCE- Global
Centre of Expertize. This recognition is a
credit to all of us working world wide and
for the maritime industry based in our area.
Olympic is a success story, but like in
football, we need to remember to stay
hungry, to be the best we can, and to keep
focus on the next match.
Henry Ford once said: “Coming together is
a beginning. Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.”
I hereby wish you all a good summer!

KII The naming ceremony of our new vessel
Olympic Boa took place at Kleven verft
March 29th. Sunnmøre showed its
best side this day with sunshine from a
cloudless sky. It was a perfect backdrop for
the ceremony which was performed in an
excellent way by vessel godmother Iren
Bjerkan. Iren Bjerkan is married to Helge
Røraas, President and Chief Executive
Officer at BOA Marine Services, who has
chartered the vessel for the next three
years plus options.
Olympic Boa is a subsea construction
vessel og MT 6022 MKII design, with a
250t AHC Crane and total 102 persons
accomodation.

- I feel like the actor John Cleese in the
role of Basil Fawlty in the television
series Fawlty Towers, laughs Geir Arthur
Angelsen. The jovial man from Lofoten has
started on a new chapter in his career. As
the captain on board the newest ship in the
Olympic Shipping fleet, “Olympic Boa”, he
gets the feeling of being a hotel director.
But in contrast to the sitcom, there is no
question of who’s the boss on board.
There was never any doubt of where his
livelihood would be. Geir Arthur Angelsen
grew up by the seashore in the small fishing
village of Napp in the Lofoten Islands.
Boating and seamanship came as natural
to him as his mother’s milk. He wanted
to be a fisherman. More schooling after
mandatory education was not an option;
he was in a hurry to get to work at sea.
Both before and after his military service
he worked on board fishing vessels. But
then the hunger came to learn more and
get more responsibility. In 1986, he took the
first part of the fishing captain education
at the Nordland Fishery Vocational School.
After several more trips on fishing vessels,
he completed his education as a captain at
Bodø Captain School in 1992 and changed
occupation to the coastal lines, working
for Nor-Cargo. However, in 1998, he was
tempted to try his fortune in the supply and
offshore industry. He gained considerable
experience both from Simon Møgster and
DOF before joining Olympic Shipping in
July 2008.
NEW CHALLENGES
- I had to revitalize myself, he chuckles.
That’s why he signed up with the shipping
company in Fosnavaag. The 49-year-
old became the captain of “Olympic
Intervention IV” for four years in the Gulf
of Mexico. A subsea-vessel with cranes,
several remote operated vessels (ROVs)
and helipad has multiple and more
extensive challenges and responsibilities
to offer than an ordinary supply vessel.
- Sometimes I wished for more human
resources in order to be able to resolve the
duties faster, he remembers, but he is quick
to emphasize that they never compromised
on safety. The job would just have to last
the time needed to be executed safely.
When going home, the boat was to be
handed over in the same condition, or
preferably better, as when they came on
board.
-Damage or injuries to people and vessel is
not acceptable, he proclaims.
In July 2012, Angelsen went on board as
the captain of “Olympic Challenger” in
Newcastle. This stint lasted two interesting
years, working both in the North Sea and
in West Africa. He found Ghana to be an
unexpected positive surprise:
-We hear so much negative talk about
Africa and some of it is probably true. But
I experienced Ghana as a very pleasant
country, easy to work from. The people
there were nice and friendly to work with,
‘ he says.
EMPATHY AND ROBBER STORIES
Good humor goes down well with
Angelsen. He himself is certainly known as
a man not lacking in the joke department,
although he also knows how to put his
foot down whenever necessary. But mostly
the quick replies and laughter comes easy:
-A good tale is like valium, good mood
makes the days go a little smoother, he
laughs. He wants the crew to enjoy their
periods at work. A light tone and a low
threshold make talking to one another
easier, also when difficult and personal
issues are at stake. Having problems at
home means struggling at work as well. It
does happen that someone needs to go
home without being sick. Then solutions
must be found that doesn’t compromise
regulatory compliance and safety.
-Empathy, ‘ he says, -that’s the key to job
satisfaction.
He highly values Olympics policy of not
always playing strictly by the rules of
the working agreements, but to prioritize
human and social needs.
CLOSE CONTACT
As captain, Angelsen has the huge
responsibility of humans, the vessel and
the equipment. He thinks it’s important to
know the people he’s dealing with, both on
board and on land. The fact that Olympic

has a high focus on getting the crews on
board and the employees on land to know
each other is decisive. He enjoys his job and
has no intentions of changing employer.
-We manage valuable assets together. It
is important to know one another, to have
faces to relate to. That makes getting in
touch easier and is a great strength, he
says. The formal meetings are a necessity,
but likely important is the informal chat
during coffee breaks, dinners and other
arrangements every now and then. Having
the guys from the main office visiting on
board the vessels is much appreciated. The
management meeting carried out on board
the “Olympic Boa” in May is one example.
And of course it is very popular to have Stig
and Vegard on board, communicating with
the crew.
-Everyone likes to see the boss, Angelsen
laughs.
«OLYMPIC BOA»
However, when the vessel leaves the dock,
he is the boss. Having been in charge of
supervision during construction, Angelsen
boarded “Olympic Boa” as captain the
same April day earlier this year when
Kleven yard handed the ship over to
Olympic Shipping. Focus during the first
trip was mostly on getting all systems
up and running as expected. The vessel
also went to the Netherlands to have the
hydraulic footbridge mounted. This bridge
is essential in the mission of being a hotel
vessel for Chevron in the English sector of
the North Sea.
-This is an entirely new task and the reason
why I feel like John Cleese, he snickers. But
the Hotel at Sea is totally different from
the small family hotel in the TV-series, no
expenses are spared on board.
LUXURY
-The standard is significantly above the
norm. We have received much praise, he
proudly proclaims. Satellite-TV, fitness
room, internet access, fine cuisine and nice
cabins help making off-time pleasant for the
guests working in 14-days shifts on the rig.
The vessel is positioned about 500 meters
from the rig. Every 12 hours the ship is
maneuvered close enough to press the
footbridge to the rig, allowing people
to walk safely to and fro, in all kinds of
weather. Accommodation of 70-75 guests
and a crew of about 25 make Angelsen
responsible of the safety of about 100
people.
-The safety, making sure that all of our
guests live by the regulations on board
might become the largest challenge, he
believes. The goal is to perform perfectly in
order to have Olympic winning the contract
the next time as well. He also considers it
a primary function to make sure each crew
member is given duties and challenges to
grow on personally.
-That’s all about taking care of Olympics
seeds, he smiles, looking forward to his
next trip. But he also enjoys being at home
in Gravdal in the Lofoten Islands with his
wife Sidsel. Having three children aged 16-
25 years old and two grandchildren at the
age of 7 and 3, he has seeds to take care of
there as well.

ESThe majority of you have never met them.
To most of the crew in Olympic Shipping,
Christina Kvalsund and Therese Haugen
are names in e-mails, for some a voice
on the phone. Nevertheless, these two
ladies have a central place in the life of
employees on sea and land. It’s them that
keep the wages coming.
They are not the kind of persons that
steals the limelight. That doesn’t mean
they are passive, they are rather happy
and smiling, doing their job without big
gestures and fuss. “Dutiful, structured,
clever, quiet, always positive, fixing issues”
are some of the characteristics given from
colleagues in the administration. They
are taking the charge at social events at
work as well, and that’s when they make
an exception. This is when Christina and
Therese will mandate everyone to pay
attention: They make and manage the quiz
rounds.
COMMON BACKGROUND
Both are from the Herøy municipality, with
Christina from Nerlandsøy and Therese
from Eggesbønes. They met and became
friends in the secondary school and have
stayed friends since. They played handball
together, frequents the same social club
and in the ‘russ’ period, they participated in
the same “russebus” along with five boys.
(For foreign readers: Russ is the period
when Norwegian youths celebrate having
finished obligatory school and being about
to step into adulthood. This is a period the
young look forward to and parents fear.
Important ingredients are weird “uniforms”,
and pooling of funds to recondition used
vans with big music systems. The vans are
painted the same color as the clothes,
bright red or blue, and then used as a
party venue and for transport. Tip: get your
Norwegian colleagues to tell stories from
their russ period....!)
After the secondary school both Christina
and Therese decided getting higher
education, but chose different directions.
Christina is a trained computer engineer,
Therese has a bachelor in export
marketing. Both found boyfriends from the
surrounding area and became residents in
the home municipality after studies were
completed. Today, they are 33 years old
and mothers of two young boys each.
WORK COLLEAGUES
Christina was the first to obtain a job
with company Olympic and started in the
payroll department in 2003. Two years
later, Therese joined as a substitute when
Christina was to have maternity leave.
Since then, both have become permanent
employees. The development in duties
and responsibility has been formidable:
-The payroll was simpler in the beginning,
but the equipment was worse, says
Christina and they both laugh when telling
stories about the old matrix printer used
to write out the payslips. It could take the
whole day, and the noise was so loud that
although all the doors were closed, it was
difficult for colleagues at the other offices
to talk on the phone. Communicating with
the vessels crew by e-mail was rare. They
used fax machines and there was little
personal contact. Local crew members
would come by the office every now and
then when being at home, and there
would be an infrequent phone call when
someone needed answers to questions
about their wages.
Payroll and tax rules were less complicated
back then. When Christina began her
career in the company, Olympic Shipping
had seven offshore vessels, a research
vessel and a fishing boat. There were
fewer people on board than today, most
were Norwegians and all the vessels were
operating in the North Sea or in Norwegian
waters. Today, Christina and Therese are in
charge of the payroll for the crew of 21
vessels. In addition, they do the pay for
stipends, construction supervisors and
the administration on land. Several of
the ships are advanced subsea-vessels
operating globally, and about 20 percent
of the crew members are non-Norwegians.
All this results in much more to consider
for the payroll to be correct.
COLLABORATION
-It’s nice to have someone to discuss the OLYMPIC SUMMER MAGAZINE 2014

issues with, says Therese. She and Christina
are dividing the ships between them, both
being responsible of about the same
amount of vessels. After each trip, the
captain sends an updated list of who was
on board and for how long. Then, expense
reports, vacation days and all the other
variables of each person are calculated.
Having a lot of employees from various
countries means dealing with different
taxing authorities. It is a challenge to keep
track, the job is demanding and extensive.
Everyone is supposed to get their wage at
the right time and with the right amount
of money.
After the payroll, duties such as reports
to the tax authorities, invoicing, periodic
reports, sick leave, pensions, social
security and much more are waiting. They
share these duties between them so
that they both are able to support and
provide backup to one another. In addition,
Christina is responsible for keeping the
personnel system updated and Therese
deals with everything NAV related. And
of course, they are both available for crew
members in need of help or assistance
with their wages.
They are getting more help themselves
too: Recently Toril Zahl Remøy was added
to the payroll department. Soon her name
will become familiar as well to the crews
receiving their paychecks by e-mail.
GOOD WORKING ENVIRONMENT
-The job is very nice and varied, we never
have time to be bored, Therese smiles.
Christina agrees. They both thrives having
big responsibilities. Challenging and
demanding duties are what make the
job interesting. Being allowed to work
independently is a benefit as well. They
emphasize the good and informal work
environment with nice colleagues and
think it’s exciting to be part of a company
in such great growth.
- And also, I must mention the fantastic
lunches Monica prepares that really adds
to the job satisfaction, says Christina with
a smile, getting a nod of approval from
Therese. The two of them are having
yet another plus adding to their well-
being at work; The fact that they know
each other so well, both personally and
jobwise, means always having someone to
discuss issues with who understands what
it’s all about. Neither one of them have
any plans of changing employer. And just
like other mothers of small children, they
never run out of topics to talk about. But
it does happen that job talk pops up also
when being together off work.

Offshore wind energy is an increasing
market and Olympic is also this year
involved in several projects. Both Olympic
Taurus, Commander and Triton has
performed their services on wind parks in
Southern North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
The picture on top of this page is from
Olympic Triton who has been performing
cable laying on the Borkum Riffgrund
project.
Olympic Triton was hired to deploy the
power cables between the new windmills
to the platform. The cables were loaded
in Nordenham/ Bremerhaven with Nexans.
The job was estimated to be 150/160 days,
but was actually performed in around 70
days!
Borkum Riffgrund 1 offshore wind farm
has a total capacity of 312 MW and is
located in the German North Sea, 37 km
north of the island Borkum. 77 foundations
are monopiles with transition pieces,
the 78th position consists of a Suction
Bucket Jacket, which will be installed for
the first time in an offshore wind farm.
The installation of the wind turbines will
begin in summer 2014. Borkum Riffgrund 1
will then be producing green electricity for
around 320,000 German households every
year.

KOlympic vessels have in 2013 and 2014
sucessfully participated in several “Walk
To Work” projects. Onboard vessels
there is installed a high-tech offshore
personnel transfer system where the
motion compensation platform allows
easy, fast and safe access from the vessel
to offshore structures, even in high wave
conditions. WTW is a increasing trend
where one transfers offshore crew from
various types of vessels to offshore oil &
gas platforms, offshore turbines, FPSO’s
and all other fixed and floating structures
at sea. In End of June Olympic Boa had
already performed 2500 transfers. The

Since the 50s there has been conducted
a significant amount of research on the
impact of the organisational culture and
working environment on employees’
satisfaction, performance, loyalty to the
organisation and their level of absenteeism.
More recently, researchers have found
employees’ perception of work also to have
influence on organisational goals, such as
safety, innovation and customer satisfaction.
We know that employees who are
motivated are more likely to deliver high
quality work. We know that employees
who perceive the safety procedures to be
easily understandable are more likely to
work safely. And we know that employees
who feel they are in a position to influence
Olympic’s environmental footprint are
more likely to shut down engines and try to
operate with optimal energy efficiency.
Consultancy firm Evidente is based in Oslo
but have their roots in Fosnavåg. Evidente
is working with many of Norway’s largest
companies in measuring and developing
working environment and organisation
culture. Together with Marine Q, Evidente is
delivering an employee survey that is tailor
made for the shipping industry. For Olympic,
this survey has been further developed
so that it’s now tightly linked to both our
corporate values and organisational goals.
This employee survey will be sent to all
captains in Q3. The captains will be asked
to distribute the survey to all employees
and to follow up to ensure that all are
given the chance to complete. The survey is
anonymous and the results will be applied
to identify areas for improvement, both at
organisation and vessel level.
Despite the growing interest within the
maritime industry in developing working
environment and organisational culture,
relatively few companies are still applying
such measurements. Implementing this
tailor made employee survey highlights
Olympic’s position as an innovative company
who’s at the forefront of the development.

We have put behind us the first half of
2014 and it’s been busy for us working with
the RIMFROST brand.
In February we launched the RIMFROST
Sublime krill oil in the biggest pharmacy
chain in the Norway, Vitus Apotek, Ditt
Apotek and Sykehusapotekene. We have
followed up with roadshows, visiting many
of the stores around the country. Feel free
to visit the website for more information in
Norwegian: www.rimfrostkrill.no.
The first trade show of the year was in
Anaheim at Engredea, a large exhibition
were the RIMFROST team attended for the
first time. During the show, we got the Best
Partnership award for our joint venture
with Avoca to supply krill the global
markets. The recognition of our work is
highly appreciated. This is the 3rd award
we receive since we launched the brand in
2012 and the team are very proud of the
achievements we have made.
In May, our PhD. Student Marie Ramsvik
participated at the 105th AOCS annual
meeting, hosted in Texas. AOCS, the
American Oil Chemists’ Society, is an
international organization providing a
support network for those involved with
science and technology related to fats,
oils, surfactants, and related materials.
Marie attended to present a poster within
the Health and Nutrition Division and her
research results from a pre-clinical study
examining the health effect of Antarctic
krill meal
For the European marked, the biggest event
of the year is defenatley the Vitafoods
show. This year, as last, we joined Bioriginal
at our common stand and had three very
busy days. The interest for krill has moved
from purely an information need, to
specific requests for both oil and powder.
We hosted another “Taste of Norway” event
and had about 200 people stopping by.
This has become an important happening
as it attracts clients from different
companies and businesses, new and old
acquaintances that are interested in what
we do.
On Thursday, at the Seminar Theatre, Inge
Bruheim presented his new exciting quality
markers of RIMFROST Sublime krill oil. The
findings will increase knowledge about our
krill operation and the RIMFROST Krill
Collection. The whole live presentation
is published on our YouTube channel,
RIMFROST KRILL.
We can see that the fall is going to be very
exciting, and we have many projects in the
works.
Before that, we would like to wish all a
brilliant summer and a kindly reminder not
to forget to take Rimfrost Krill with you on
your holiday.

Our manning office in Manila (Olympic
Jebsen Offshore Inc) is up and running
and this March a delegation from the
management team in Olympic went to
Manila for evaluation meeting and signing.
The OJOS official contract signing
was attended by top officials from
both companies. Representing Abojeb
were Ramon Villordon Jr., President,
Ms. Asuncion and Janice Capile, Senior
Crewing Manager. Representing Olympic
AS were President and CEO Stig Remøy,
Deputy CEO John Arne Winsnes, Senior
Vice President for Crewing Are Halkjelsvik.
The management team visited the AJ
Centre of Excellence and the Norwegian
Training Centre Manila.
The visit was rewarding and the team
got to meet many people and exchanged
experiences and information.
This joint venture was established to
have more control, predictability and
possibility for competence building for our
international crew. It gives also much better
possibility for system integration with
regards to competence documentation.

This autumn Thon hotel Fosnavåg opens
its doors for the public. In the hotel area
opens also Fosnavåg Offshore Simulator
AS where Olympic is one of the owners.
This simulator centre will be a very
important arena to train and develop
both individual and team competence. We
also see forward to bringing our seafarers
to Fosnavåg increasing the interaction
between office and fleet.
The leader conference 2014 will of course
be arranged at this hotel in Fosnavåg!
