“This is a long-term and important investment for Omega Subsea. Hilleren provides the infrastructure and access to port facilities we need to support further growth. It enables us to bring together our people, equipment and operations, creating a stronger platform for delivering our services across Western Norway,” said Trond Berge, CEO of Omega Subsea.

Omega Subsea provides services and technology within ROV operations, survey, and subsea operations. The long-term agreement covers approximately 1,500 square meters of workshop, warehouse, and office space, in addition to access to 500 square meters of outdoor space with excellent vehicle access and logistics capabilities. The base is scheduled to be operational by January 1, 2027, and the company plans to recruit between five and seven new employees during the first phase.

For Hilleren Navy Supply Park, the establishment marks another step in the development of an environment where the maritime industry, technology providers, and emergency preparedness services can work more closely together.

“This is about more than just one new tenant. Omega Subsea brings operational capacity and expertise that make Hilleren more relevant, both for commercial maritime activities and for future emergency preparedness and defense requirements,” said Leif Teksum, Chairman of Hilleren Navy Supply Park.

The combination of workshop facilities, warehousing, technical personnel, and access to port infrastructure makes it possible to bring equipment preparation, testing, servicing, repair of subsea equipment, and logistics together in one location. The base will also support technology development and system verification activities.

“We want to manage more of the value chain ourselves. This establishment strengthens our capacity and makes us better equipped to support both operational deliveries and our customers from Bergen,” said Berge.
