About

RMS of Kristiansand, Norway, is a professional ship- and offshore management company owned by Rasmussengruppen AS. RMS is specializing in the operation of shutteltankers, semi-submersible accommodation vessels, floating storage vessels, tankers and bulk carriers. RMS also provides engineering support services within construction and building/rebuilding of vessels. We are providing these services to Rasmussengruppen AS, NAVION ASA and other customers. RMS has a solid background as the former operating arm of the Rasmussen shipping group in Kristiansand, established in 1936, and has developed from a traditional shipping company also to an offshore contractor, with considerable experience from the North Sea environment. Over the years, a large number of ships and semi-submersible platforms of various types have been built, modified and operated by the RMS organisation. The RMS experience is related to all phases of these projects; project management, financing, engineering, site team functions, commissioning, contracting and operation. RMS pioneered the successful technical development of offshore shuttle tankers and the development of the semi-submersible accommodation unit concept (flotels). Being for several years the dominant operator of shuttle tankers and flotels, RMS has been a main contributor to the further development and improvement of these concepts with respect to technical improvements, reliability and safety. RMS has been awarded the Quality Prize by the Norwegian Society of Quality Assurance and has several times been assigned Statoil's Safety Award for the operation of shuttle tankers. Focus on safety and quality in every area will continue to have the highest priority. RMS is also rendering various types of services to major oil companies, offshore contracting companies and other parties within the maritime industry.
