NHV helicopters land long-term job with Shell

Offshore helicopter operator NHV Group has won a new long-term contract to provide helicopter services for Shell.

The gig with Shell starts on Wednesday, 1 July 2020.

Under the three-year agreement, daily flights will depart from NHV’s bases in Den Helder and Norwich to the Shell UK and NAM assets in the Southern North Sea (SNS), NHV said on Wednesday.

The contract facilitates the provision of two dedicated Leonardo AW139 aircraft – one in Norwich and one in Den Helder.

According to NHV, the medium-sized twin-engine AW139 has proved to be very successful and has reliably secured its role in NHV’s fleet and the world of helicopter operations.

Michael Gislam, NHV’s Base Manager in Norwich commented: “We are excited to secure this long-term contract, to work with Shell NAM helping them meet their transportation needs and are all eager to start flying on their behalf.

“The agreement strengthens our long-standing relationship with Shell where we have previously supported projects in Europe and Africa”.
