Level Offshore has provided strategic ROV-staffing to IKM Subsea since 2021

Since 2021, Level Offshore has had the pleasure of working with IKM Subsea to provide strategic ROV- staffing.

IKM Subsea’s Pioneering Journey

IKM Subsea is an independent ROV and subsea operator. The company has extensive experience. It was the first operator to demonstrate a successful track record for subsea operations with electric WROVs along with the first commercial Onshore Control Centre. This experience has been fundamental for placing IKM Subsea at the forefront in the ROV and subsea industry globally.

When they realized they needed outside support to supplement ROV personnel for their projects, Level Offshore seemed to be the solution best suited for them.

Level Offshore has provided ROV trainees, pilots, and supervisors to IKM Subsea, helping us staff our projects, says Cato Andersen, Managing Director at IKM Subsea AS.

How Level Offshore supports IKM Subsea’s  staffing needs

The staffing needs in the subsea industry can vary significantly. Level Offshore aims to assist clients with staffing to ensure all project deadlines are met.

 

Activity is typically seasonal and highest from March to October, including holidays. Pressure is also felt during short periods of sick leave or on projects that requires additional manpower. It is in this context that the collaboration with IKM Subsea began, says John Emil Hauge, Managing Director at Level Offshore.
