ASCO has secured a five-year contract worth $87.6m (£70m) to provide base and logistics services to Aker BP in Norway until 2030.

The contract encompasses services including warehouse management, load carriers, waste services, and personnel leasing for logistics and helicopter coordination in Tananger, Sandnessjøen and Farsund.

Aker BP has partnered with ASCO Norge, a subsidiary of ASCO Group, since 2011.

The renewal of this contract ensures job security at ASCO's bases and offers stability and predictability for the future.

ASCO Norge AS commercial director Øyvind Salte said: “Aker BP’s continued choice of ASCO for their base and logistics services is extremely important to us. We look forward to further developing as a company and continuing our proud partnership with Aker BP.

“This contract strengthens our existing activities in Norway and lays the foundation for further developing the excellent collaboration with Aker BP. We will also continue to simplify, streamline and digitalise all aspects of its services.”

The collaboration between these entities has been pivotal in delivering logistics solutions in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.

Aker BP logistics manager Vegard Olsen said: “The partnership with ASCO is crucial to maintaining continuity in our offshore operations. Base and transport services act as the lifelines for materials between sea and land, ensuring that we can maintain stable and efficient operations. We look forward to continuing the collaboration and working together to further improve our logistics processes.”

In December 2024, Aker Solutions won a two-year extension from Aker BP for maintenance work across multiple offshore Norway field centres including the Valhall and Hod, Ula and Tambar, Alvheim and Skarv operations.
