Hensikt: Øve varsling, mobilisering og håndtering av hendelse DFU 3
More than 200 people participated when the Emergency Preparedness Conference (Beredskapskonferansen) was held for the 20th time in early June.
New members bring new opportunities. Vår Energi’s fields and activities now mean that OFFB’s reception hotels in Florø and Hammerfest are also active and ready to be mobilized on a year-round basis. This benefits everyone.
Seadrill has entered into a membership agreement with OFFB for its operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. This is the first time OFFB has admitted a rig company. “A natural and desired development in the emergency response collaboration,” says Managing Director Ole Jacob Haug.
The 2026 exercise year is underway. OFFB has scheduled close to 30 training sessions and emergency response exercises for our members in the first three months of the year.
On 1 January 2026, Vår Energi became a member of OFFB. “We are very pleased to be able to include the country’s third-largest operating company in our member organisation. This membership strengthens emergency response cooperation on the Norwegian continental shelf,” says Ole Jacob Haug, Managing Director of OFFB.
For å være rustet ved hendelser må vi øve. Den siste tiden har mer enn 100 personer fra OFFBs medlemmer, hoteller og kommunale kriseteam øvd mottaksapparatet for evakuerte og pårørende i Stavanger, Bergen og Brønnøysund.
Ekspertmiljøet ved Haukeland Universitetssjukehus i Bergen har fungert som vaktleger for sjøfarten i 100 år. Siden september 2024 har Radio Medico også gått vakt for OFFBs medlemmer i en sentralisert vaktlegeordning. – Samarbeidet øker kvaliteten på vaktlegeordningen for alle som jobber offshore, sier Ole Jacob Haug.
OFFB har i en årrekke hatt et tett samarbeid med samfunnssikkerhetsmiljøet ved Universitetet i Stavanger. Nå er vi så heldige å ha student Johannes Skjæveland Eide i praksisperiode her hos oss. – I OFFB får jeg en perfekt kombinasjon av «nerding» og operativ beredskap, mener han.
