Offshore

We understand what it takes to operate in challenging environments offshore in Norway. Different missions have specific requirements, be it in the oil and gas industry, energy, search and rescue (SAR) or offshore wind.

Bell 525

The Bell 525 is perfect for operations in harsh environments and for use in the following types of missions:

  • SAR
  • HEMS
  • Transport


Technology designed for the 21st century, provides a smooth ride when you work offshore. Bell 525 combines low vibrations, a comfortable cabin and an airframe designed for reliability.
