SUSTAINABILITY
The LOS Group is committed to community engagement and sustainable development. Therefore, we are focusing on the education of new professionals through a comprehensive apprenticeship program. This is the backbone of the future LOS group and helps build local communities and professional development in Norway. We are also concerned with the new forms of energy and innovation in green technology. LOS Marine, in close and seamless cooperation with LOS Elektro, effectively implements conversion and installation projects for transitions to hybrid solutions and new forms of energy.
In 2017, the MF Selbjørnsfjord received a reworked VOID of approximately 140 M2 for the battery and converter room. In the existing pumps, a “chiller” was installed on existing cooling systems and pipes were installed for battery cooling. The work was carried out in 4 weeks (during annual maintenance) and consisted of steelwork, painting, insulation and enclosure, also including assembly of the transformer, converter and UPS. Furthermore, wiring, connection, battery assembly and testing was performed.
WE ARE LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE
The LOS Group is in the process of extensive developments that will give our customers a completely new user experience by reaching port in Rubbestadneset. In addition to today’s dock, we are developing and building a future dock solution where we can accommodate the largest ships that runs along the coast. We will be able to close the ships in with controlled conditions for efficient service and maintenance, with having fast docking and all subjects and facilities available at all times. This way we will be able to offer very attractive conditions for our customers. We also aim to expand our staff of skilled professionals and thus significantly increase our capacity. The dock is scheduled for completion in 2021.
