Duncan Palmer, Prosafe’s director of people and organization, says: “Atlas’s involvement in providing a fully outsourced crew management function will enable us to maintain competency, ensure safe and efficient operations, and maximize flexibility in our operational costs during a period when demand remains lower than expected and with significant downtimes between contracts. We look forward to continuing to develop our long-standing relationship with Atlas Professionals and eagerly anticipate their ongoing support as the market recovers and we see an uptick in operational activity again.”

It is worth noting that Prosafe is working on creating the largest offshore accommodation company in the world through a merger with Floatel, as proposed in June 2019.

However, the company’s efforts recently hit a barrier in Norway, where the competition authority opposed the proposed merger in October, claiming that the combination of the two companies would reduce competition and lead to increased costs for customers.
