Our History, Vision And Values

The renowned French novelist, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, made this great statement: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” And this is exactly the very foundation on which Penthus is build. Looking at offshore installation there is a long way to go towards “perfection” as we strongly believe there is so many obsolete at the current status-quo. From that perspective we innovate, changing the playing field in existing markets.

Vision and value

The industry grew over decades, where installation and transportation vessels, barges and jack-up vessels became more and more versatile. This has led to a big, bigger, biggest race which significantly increased capex and opex levels. The green energy revolution also demands a new perspective on how we do things at optimized costs. In our vision, offshore renewables installation is done with standardized and affordable units, making offshore renewables sustainable, both environmentally as financially. This underlines our mission to revolutionize.
