On Tuesday, 24 March, a large-scale rescue exercise was carried out off the coast of Lofoten, Norway, testing a new emergency towing system for ships. The cruise vessel MS Spitsbergen, with 150 passengers on board, the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Barentshav, and the 330 Squadron’s SAR Queen rescue helicopter took part.
Tysdag 24. mars blei ei omfattande redningsøving gjennomført i havet utanfor Lofoten der eit nytt naudslepesystem for skip vart testa. Cruiseskipet MS Spitsbergen med 150 passasjerar om bord, Kystvaktskipet KV Barentshav og 330- skvadronen sitt redningshelikopter SAR Queen deltok.
When the ULSTEIN X‑BOW® was introduced in 2005, it changed how vessels meet waves head-on. But the true impact of the design is not found in drawings or simulations; it is felt on board. Across offshore, fisheries and expedition cruise vessels, crews consistently describe the same experience: less motion, less noise, less fatigue, and more time doing the job.
How can you be confident that a new vessel design will actually perform in rough seas and demanding operations? The answer lies in thorough verification, independent testing and documented performance. Recently, a new Ulstein design for a cable-laying vessel was tested in a large-scale ocean basin at SINTEF Ocean. The results delivered exactly what Ulstein seeks: confidence that the design performs as intended.
Korleis veit ein at eit nytt fartøydesign faktisk vil fungere i røff sjø og krevjande operasjonar? Svaret ligg i grundig etterprøving, uavhengig testing og dokumentert yteevne. Nyleg vart eit nytt design for kabelleggingsskip testa i eit storskala havbasseng hos SINTEF Ocean. Resultata gav nettopp det Ulstein er ute etter: tryggleik for at designet held det det lovar.
On 11 March 2026, Ulstein Verft, Norway, delivered the Windea Carnot, a Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV). The vessel was built on behalf of an institutional investor and has now been handed over to its new owner, Bernhard Schulte Offshore (BSO).

Ulsteinvik, Norway, 10 March 2026 – Jan De Nul has selected a customised vessel design from Ulstein Design & Solutions AS for its latest addition to its offshore fleet. The realisation of the trenching vessel marks a milestone in the collaboration between two leading maritime innovators. The vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2028. The basic design is based on a robust and globally proven subsea vessel design.
Ulsteinvik, 10. mars 2026 – Jan De Nul har valt eit spesialframstilt fartøydesign frå Ulstein Design & Solutions AS til den nyaste utvidinga av offshoreflåten sin. Realiseringa av subsea trenchingfartøyet markerer ein milepåle i samarbeidet mellom to leiande maritime innovatørar. Fartøyet er planlagt levert i 2028.
Det grunnleggande designet byggjer på eit robust og globalt velprøvd subseafartøydesign.
As offshore oil and gas developments become more complex, operators are rethinking how fields are designed, operated, and supported. For Aker BP, this shift is clearly visible in the Yggdrasil development, the largest ongoing project on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Etter kvart som offshore-olje- og gassutbyggingar blir meir komplekse, tenker operatørane nytt rundt korleis felt blir utforma, drifta og støtta. For Aker BP kjem denne omlegginga tydeleg til uttrykk i Yggdrasil-utbygginga, det største pågåande prosjektet på norsk sokkel.
Styreleiar Tore Ulstein, konsernsjef Gunvor Ulstein i Ulstein Group og leiinga i Ulstein Verft, ønskte statsministeren velkomen til Ulstein torsdag 5. mars.

An expedition cruise takes you to the edges of the world, places that remain wild, remote and profoundly beautiful. As exploration gives way to evening, the transition back to the ship feels seamless, from raw landscapes to effortless luxury.
The ULSTEIN X-BOW® significantly improves sea behaviour by splitting wave energy and reducing slamming impact. Proven effective in over 120 ships, across every vessel type, this hull shape has also become a game-changer for expedition cruising.

Faster delivery, lower emissions and reduced costs - the subsea sector is now expected to achieve all three simultaneously. At the OSJ Subsea Conference 2026, Ulstein’s Chief Designer, Øyvind Gjerde Kamsvåg, outlined how repurposing can meet these demands and, in many cases, outperform newbuild strategies.
Ulstein Verft's yard number 322, the CSOV Genesis Sea, is about to conclude a successful sea trial, a major milestone in the newbuild project.

A fibreoptic Cable-Laying Vessel (CLV) for the subsea telecom market, performing cable lay and repair operations in addition to ROV operations. The vessel, with an ULSTEIN X-BOW® and a hybrid battery solution, is designed with a focus on sustainability and low-emission operations.
For Norway, the relationship with the sea is so fundamental that it is reflected even in the country’s currency. For centuries, people have relied on the sea, not for conquest or adventure, but for survival, transport and connection. Long before the age of the Vikings, boats were already an essential part of everyday life, shaped by the need to operate safely and reliably in open, often unforgiving waters. Rock carvings and archaeological finds show that early vessels were carefully adapted to their environment, evolving over generations through experience rather than ambition.
