Press release: New cooperation with Synfaring

The purpose is to strengthen expertise in both companies and contribute to simpler, more efficient processes for customers. Synfaring will act as an independent third party.

Synfaring is an independent certification body approved by the Norwegian Maritime Authority as an authorised organisation type A-1, carrying out initial certification, recertification and annual inspections of lifting equipment and associated gear.

The agreement facilitates collaboration where this adds value for the customer, contributing to more efficient and cost-effective inspections and certifications. Both companies will continue to offer the same services directly to customers who prefer to use us independently.

— Synfaring is a highly respected company that we genuinely look forward to working with. They bring extensive experience and a strong knowledge base that will benefit both us and our customers. As they now receive thorough training in our products, customers will have the opportunity to combine inspection of SHM equipment with the annual inspection of the rest of the vessel — something we know many will appreciate. We also want to make it easier to obtain an independent assessment, says Yngve Bøe Myklebust, CEO of SHM Solutions.

— By combining SHM Solutions' leading equipment with Synfaring's expertise and role as an independent certification and inspection body, we create added value for customers through quality-assured and efficient inspection processes that provide increased confidence and reliable results. This is a collaboration we strongly believe in, says Bernt Ole Brøske, Head of Authorised Organisation A-1 at Synfaring.

We look forward to developing the collaboration further and contributing to value creation, safety and quality deliveries for customers along the entire Norwegian coast.
