“We have enjoyed a strong working relationship with Umoe Mandal for some time, and by formalizing this collaboration we reinforce each other’s opportunities in the market. As close neighbors with complementary capabilities, we represent a unique maritime environment with significant potential for development and growth. This agreement provides increased capacity, better resource utilization, and an even stronger maritime knowledge base, benefiting upcoming projects and the customers we serve,” says Øystein Sunde Pedersen, CEO of GOT.
Through this strategic partnership, Umoe Mandal and GOT position themselves to drive innovation, efficiency, and excellence in support of future defense initiatives.
