Island Offshore is a Norwegian offshore-vessel owner and operator headquartered in Ulsteinvik. Its Lisbon entity, Island Offshore Portugal Lda, serves as the group’s dedicated crewing base and is one of only two company locations it lists worldwide.
Island Offshore Portugal, Lda. has operated from Lisbon since 2012 and functions as the group’s crewing department. The company’s own materials list only two locations — Ulsteinvik in Norway and Lisbon — underlining how central the Portuguese office is to its global operations.
Island Offshore is an unusual Nordic→Portugal story: a Norwegian maritime group that chose Lisbon, not a Norwegian city, to run a core function — crewing — tapping Portugal’s deep seafaring labour pool.
