Survitec blog outlines Hansen Protection offshore contract
Hansen Protection has secured a multi-year contract to supply life-protection equipment to Lufttransport for offshore helicopter operations in Northern Norway.
In a blog post, Survitec wrote that the agreement covers a comprehensive suite of personal protective equipment, with servicing and maintenance conducted within Norway.
The contract is initially for three years with an option to extend.
The equipment scope includes immersion suits, lifejackets and rescue swimmer equipment.
Lufttransport is described as Norway’s largest and fastest-growing offshore helicopter operator.
The blog post states Lufttransport is on track to grow its fleet to 18 helicopters by the end of 2026.
Contract structure, servicing model and sector context
Survitec’s blog post describes the contract as using a hybrid model combining the sale of crew suits and rescue swimmer equipment with the rental of HALO lifejacket systems.
The post describes this approach as intended to streamline logistics, support regulatory compliance and support safe, efficient offshore operations.
Fredrik Joachim Eriksen of Hansen Protection said: “Our ability to provide not only quality Survival Technology but also a robust local service and maintenance network was instrumental in securing this contract.
“We are not just delivering equipment; we are delivering peace of mind and operational continuity in some of the world’s most challenging environments in northern Norway.”
Eriksen added: “We’re always looking to the future, whether it’s integrating digital safety management systems, adopting sustainable materials, or responding to the unique risks of remote and harsh environments.
“Our investment in local service infrastructure, product innovation, and customer service is helping drive our business growth.”
Erlend H. Olsen, CEO at Lufttransport, said: “Safety is at the core of everything we do at Lufttransport.
“As we expand to meet growing demand in offshore energy, partnering with Hansen Protection ensures our crews are equipped with the most advanced Survival Technology.
“This agreement reflects our shared commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability in some of the world’s most challenging environments.”
The blog post says Lufttransport’s recent developments include introducing advanced helicopters and securing long-term service agreements.
