The new JV eventually intends to provide the full end-to-end process of decommissioning.

The joint investment is expected to be approximately $20m and will cover the first years of operations.

Based at the Maersk Drilling and Maersk Supply Service joint headquarters in Lyngby, Denmark, the JV will serve as a lean and scalable base organisation which will cover only core capabilities and operate by drawing upon support from the two companies.
