Ambassador’s Message
I am delighted to write in the latest issue of ‘Norwegian Business
in India’ and take this opportunity to congratulate the IndoNorwegian business community which has taken the business
between the two countries to new heights.
Historically, trade relations between Norway and India have
been modest. However, the tendency is changing. In the course
of the past three years bilateral trade has increased by around
150 per cent. The exports from Norway increased from NOK
867 million in 2004 to NOK 3.4 billion in 2007. At the same time
the imports from India have increased from NOK 1.2 billion in
2003 to NOK 1.7 billion in 2008. Beyond these figures, a strong
foundation for large scale collaboration is emerging between the
companies from the two countries.
The recent entry of Telenor into the telecom sector in India heralds
a new era for Indo Norwegian cooperation. Their cooperation
with Unitech wireless will create a strong Norwegian presence
in India for years to come.
There has been a remarkable growth in maritime sector. Both
Indian and Norwegian yards are cooperating actively and
ships are both build in Norway for Indian owners as well as
Indian yards are delivering to Norwegian owners. A total of
more than 60 ships have been or are on delivery from both
sides, representing both huge investments as well as the latest
technology in the maritime sector.
Other significant business events have been amongst others the
contract between Moser Baer Photo Voltaic Limited (MBPV)
and the Norway based REC Group and the Aker Floating
Production ASA’s contract for FPSO with Reliance. The first JV
in biotech was reached with the cooperation between DiaGenic
and Religare
There have been buying and selling of businesses between both
the countries. Last year Orkla Group of Norway has acquired
MTR Foods of Bangalore in a US$ 80 million deal. Recently
Tata group of India has taken a majority stake in a Norwegian
company Miljo Grenland.
The Norwegian Ministry of Finance has allotted a substantial
amount of money for bying CERs from India, We are certain
that this will benefit the climate in a positive way.
The Norwegian Pension fund is also planning to step up its
investments in India from 1 billon USD to approximately 3
billion USD.
Currently more than 70 Norwegian companies from a variety
of sectors are present in India. We are also providing special
attention to the small and medium enterprises through a NORAD
funded Indo Norwegian Match Making program. More than
100 Norwegian SME’s have expressed their desire to explore
doing business with Indian companies through this program.
This brochure represents the sixth edition in this series. It aims
to provide information and guidance to Norwegian companies
interested in exploring the possibilities of doing business in India,
and thereby strengthen the ties between our two countries.
Finally let me use this opportunity to thank the business
community for their co-operation and support in connection
with the development of this publication.

Commercial Ties
India’s economic and commercial ties with both Norway are on the upswing. There has been a spurt in
trade, investments, transfer-of-technology and other contacts. A Norway-India Chamber of Commerce
and Industry (NICCI) www.nicci.no was inaugurated on January 26,2007 in Oslo.
The current growth in Indo-Norwegian eco-commercial ties is fuelled by complementarities of interests,
in sectors such as deep off-shore, shipping, hydro-electricity, Information Technology, Bio-Technology
and light consumer goods.
Embassy of India in Oslo, together with our Honorary Consuls in Reykjavik, Akureyri, Bergen and
Trondheim give high priority to promotion of bilateral eco-commercial contacts. All possible help is
rendered in facilitating these possibilities.

A Look at Norway’s Strengths
Norway is a constitutional monarchy and a country with a strong democratic
tradition. With a population of only 4.5 million it ranks among the most
prosperous and modern countries in the world with a high degree of social
welfare for its inhabitants. Because of its richness of natural resources like oil
and gas, the economic growth is substantial. GDP in 2006 was 261.7 billion
US $.
It is located in the western half of the Scandinavian peninsula, borders on
Russia, Finland and Sweden and has a long coastline (2,650 kilometres).
Norway is close both to European markets and to the North Sea oil
installations.
Although Norway is one of the largest countries in Europe in area, its
population only numbers some 4.7 million. The country’s long narrow shape
and sparse population make good communication very important, and the
`authorities have channelled considerable resources to that sector. Inland
transport is provided by road and rail systems and ferries, and about 50
operational airports.
For international traffic there are frequent rail and air connections to other
countries, as well as ferry services for instances to the United Kingdom,
Germany and Denmark. Intercontinental flights from the main airports are
either direct or via Copenhagen, Scandinavia’s main hub.
The Oil and Gas Industry
The production of oil and natural gas by the petroleum industry has been a
major source of Norway’s economic growth in recent years. It has also made
important contribution to general development. Being so close to the North
Sea, Norwegian companies have been able to effect major deliveries to new
fields, and this has stimulated the development of a highly competent body of
engineers. Norway is the third largest exporter of oil in the world.
Water Power
Plentiful water power has for several decades made Norway a leading
exporter, both of electricity and of the products of energy intensive
manufacturing industries. More than 99% of the electricity is derived from
hydro. In 1995, Norway, Sweden and Denmark agreed to trade power freely.
The world’s first power exchange has been established in Oslo. Norway is
also at the leading edge of technological development where equipment for
this industry is concerned, including the construction of power plants. As a
result, Norwegian companies are heavily involved in the building of power
plant all over the world.
Fisheries
Up and down Norway’s long coasts, fishing has always been of great
importance. At present, however, fish farming appears to hold out greater
14
potential for growth than traditional fisheries. The main, products for today’s
fish farms are salmon and trout. Extensive trials are being carried out on
other species of fish and on shellfish.
Forestry
Forestry is another of Norway’s historically important industries. The rich
timber resources are to a large extent utilized in the paper industry. Wood
is also the principal house-building material and the basis of a considerable
furniture industry.
Shipping
Shipping has long traditions in Norway. A large proportion of today’s
Norwegian tonnage trades between foreign ports. Some years ago, Norwegian
taxation rules, crew requirements, etc. prompted owners to establish
themselves outside Norway, but the authorities have in recent years sought to
encourage owners to operate from Norway, among other things by changing
the tax rules with effect from 1996.
Tourism
Following many years of steady growth, the tourist trade in Norway reached
an all time high during the winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994. Norway’s
main tourist attraction lies in her characteristically rugged landscape.
Free movement of Persons
In this area, the EEA agreement applies to the EU rules in full. This implies
rights to employment, mutual recognition to qualifications, and transfers of
social security entitlements. It also means that there are no restrictions on the
right to establish and conduct business enterprises.
Free movement of services
EEA countries impose no restrictions on the provisions of services in each
other’s territory. Since services form an essential part of Norway’s total export
volume, free access to the European market in services is very important.
Free movement of capital
The EEA agreement imposes no restrictions on the transfer of capital belonging
to the residents of member countries, but does allow members countries
to take steps to prevent the rule from leading to distortion of competition
between them.

Investment Policy
Foreign Direct Investment
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been recognized as one of the important
drivers of the economic growth of our country. Government has, therefore,
been making all efforts to invite and facilitate FDI and investment from
Non Resident [NRls- which also includes Persons of Indian Origin (PIO)] to
complement and supplement domestic investment.
Foreign direct investment is freely allowed in all sectors including the services
sector, except a few sectors where the existing and notified sectoral policy
does not permit FDI beyond a ceiling. FDI for virtually all items/activities
can be brought in through the Automatic route under powers delegated

Entry Strategies
for Foreign Investors
Starting Operations In India
A foreign company planning to set up business operations in India has the
following options
As an Indian Company
A foreign company can commence operations in India by incorporating a
company under the Companies Act,1956 through
• Joint Ventures; or
• Wholly Owned Subsidiaries
Foreign equity in such Indian companies can be up to 100% depending on the
requirements of the investor, subject to equity caps in respect of the area of
activities under the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy. Details of the FDI
policy, sectoral equity caps & procedures can be obtained from Department
of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Government of India (http://www.dipp.nic.
in ).
Joint Venture with an Indian Partner
Foreign Companies can set up their operations in India by forging strategic
alliances with Indian partners.
Joint Venture may entail the following advantages for a foreign investor:
• Established distribution/ marketing set up of the Indian partner
• Available financial resource of the Indian partners
• Established contacts of the Indian partners which help smoothen the
process of setting up of operations
Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company
Foreign companies can also to set up wholly-owned subsidiary in sectors
where 100% foreign direct investment is permitted under the FDI policy.
Incorporation of Company
For registration and incorporation, an application has to be filed with
Registrar of Companies (ROC). Once a company has been duly registered
and incorporated as an Indian company, it is subject to Indian laws and
regulations as applicable to other domestic Indian companies.
24
For details please visit the website of Department of Company Affairs under
Ministry of Finance at http://dca.nic.in
As a Foreign Company
Foreign Companies can set up their operations in India through
• Liaison Office/Representative Offic
• Project Office
• Branch Office
Such offices can undertake any permitted activities. Companies have to
register themselves with Registrar of Companies (ROC) within 30 days of
setting up a place of business in India.
Liaison Office/Representative Office
Liaison office acts as a channel of communication between the principal place
of business or head office and entities in India. Liaison office can not undertake
any commercial activity directly or indirectly and can not, therefore, earn any
income in India. Its role is limited to collecting information about possible
market opportunities and providing information about the company and
its products to prospective Indian customers. It can promote export/import
from/to India and also facilitate technical/financial collaboration between
parent company and companies in India.
Approval for establishing a liaison office in India is granted by Reserve Bank
of India (RBI).
Project Office
Foreign Companies planning to execute specific projects in India can set
up temporary project/site offices in India. RBI has now granted general
permission to foreign entities to establish Project Offices subject to specified
conditions. Such offices can not undertake or carry on any activity other than
the activity relating and incidental to execution of the project. Project Offices
may remit outside India the surplus of the project on its completion, general
permission for which has been granted by the RBI.
Branch Office
Foreign companies engaged in manufacturing and trading activities abroad
are allowed to set up Branch Offices in India for the following purposes:
(i) Export/Import of goods
(ii) Rendering professional or consultancy services
(iii)Carrying out research work, in which the parent company is engaged.
25
(iv) Promoting technical or financial collaborations between Indian
companies and parent or overseas group company.
(v) Representing the parent company in India and acting as buying/
selling agents in India.
(vi) Rendering services in Information Technology and development of
software in India.
(vii)Rendering technical support to the products supplied by the parent/
group companies.
(viii)Foreign airline/shipping company.
A branch office is not allowed to carry out manufacturing activities on its
own but is permitted to subcontract these to an Indian manufacturer. Branch
Offices established with the approval of RBI, may remit outside India profit
of the branch, net of applicable Indian taxes and subject to RBI guidelines
Permission for setting up branch offices is granted by the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI).
Branch Office on “Stand Alone Basis”
Such Branch Offices would be isolated and restricted to the Special Economic
zone (SEZ) alone and no business activity/transaction will be allowed outside
the SEZs in India, which include branches/subsidiaries of its parent office in
India.
No approval shall be necessary from RBI for a company to establish a
branch/unit in SEZs to undertake manufacturing and service activities subject
to specified conditions.
Application for setting up Liaison Office/ Project Office/ Branch Office may be
submitted in form FNC 1 (available at RBI website at www.rbi.org.in )
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy
FDI under automatic route is now allowed in all sectors, including the services
sector, except a few sectors where the existing and notified sectoral policy
does not permit FDI beyond a ceiling.
Automatic Route
No prior approval is required for FDI under the Automatic Route. Only
information to the RBI within 30days of inward remittances or issue of shares
to Non Residents is required. RBI has prescribed a new form, Form FC-GPR
(instead of earlier FC-RBI) for reporting shares issued to the Foreign Investors
by an Indian company.

Taxation In India
India is moving towards reforming its tax policies and systems so as to
facilitate globalization of economic activities. The corporate tax rate for
foreign companies is 40%. The net tax rate is far lower than this on account
of various deductions and exemptions available under the tax laws. Tax
holidays are available in Special Economic Zones set up to make industry
globally competitive. Infrastructure Sector Projects enjoy special tax
treatment/holidays. A user friendly tax administration is being introduced
with round the clock electronic filing of customs documents from 31.3.04

Business Culture in India
India is a diverse and complex country, each person you meet will be unique blend
of Indian/Western values. People from different socio-economic strata, educational
backgrounds, class and religion may behave very differently.
Greetings and courtesies
• Indians greet each other (and say good-bye) with the namaste, which is formed
by pressing the palms together (fingers up) below the chin and nodding the head.
When greeting superiors or to show respect, a slight bow is added.
• In large cities Indian men will shake hands. Indian men do not generally shake hands
with or otherwise touch women, Indian women who are familiar with international
customs may shake hands. When meeting a woman, a man should wait for her to
initiate a handshake. If she does not, smile and nod slightly.
• When addressing a person, it is advisable to prefix the name with a ‘Mr.’, ‘Ms.’,
‘Mrs’ or ‘Miss’, or the professional title of the person [‘Doctor’ or ‘Professor’] unless
the person asks you to refer to him by his/her first name.
Language
English is the common language for conducting business, and therefore, it is not
necessary to get your card translated into any Indian language. If you are not from an
English-speaking country, then you must get your brochures and other promotional
material prepared in English.
Presenting and exchanging business cards are a necessary part of doing business in
India.
Hierarchy & protocols
The government-owned public sector companies, are more often bureaucratic and
hierarchical, compared to their private sector counterparts, and the ‘new economy’
service sector companies [IT, telecom, banking, insurance, etc.], are more egalitarian
and flexible than the traditional manufacturing-sector firms.
Try to get your first appointment with the senior most person in the concerned
department/organisation. It is likely that s/he may later direct you to meet someone in
the middle-level hierarchy, who would be actually relevant for your business.
However, coming through the superior person is likely to help when it comes to
implementation of decisions.
In India, as a sign of respect, the subordinates stand up when the boss enters the
meeting room. For many people coming from more individualistic cultures, this creates
a dilemma - to rise or not. The best option is to get up from your seat and greet him/her
personally.
Negotiating process
• The pace of business meetings in India is comparatively far more slow than in some
of the western countries.
34
• Indians are somewhat lax about time. Even if you arrive on time, it is likely that the
scheduled meeting may start with some delay, or that you are kept waiting. This
often happens, and does not necessarily mean much. However, a long delay in the
meeting can be a signal that you are being given less importance.
• Indians do not directly jump into business negotiations. They prefer to do business
with those they know. Building a relationship is often considered a prerequisite to
doing business.
• Showing hospitality is part of the negotiation process. Often meetings start by offering
tea/coffee and snacks. It is courteous to accept the offer. Meetings normally start
with small talk about non-work-related topics [ranging from weather to whether
your journey was comfortable], before people start talking about business issues.
Do not feel surprised if you are asked some ‘personal’ questions about your family,
children, etc.
• Indians Can’t Say “No”. They will not express their disagreements openly and
directly; as that would be considered discourteous.
• PowerPoint presentations are generally accepted to start the discussion. It is
necessary, however, to send a more detailed proposal in advance.
• Follow up a meeting with an overview of what was discussed and the next steps.
Laws & bueraucracy
Indian laws and bureaucracy are quite intricate and cumbersome. It is, therefore,
advisable to hire an expert or Indian lawyer or liaison person, who can help you to
manoeuvre through these intricacies.
Meeting preparations
• Though not essential, it often helps in getting an appointment if you have an Indian
contact.
• It is normally more difficult to get an appointment with officials in a government
department then the business organisations.
• Since in most Indian cities, the roads are quite crowded, it is advisable to start early
for your meetings. Normal office hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Normally, lunch
is for one hour, between 01:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.
• For business and official work, western ‘Christian’ calendar are used. The convention
for writing dates is dd/mm/yy.
• In India Financial Year is calculated from 1st April to 31st March. Since the end of
March is the time for closing the financial year, people are very busy. Try to avoid
scheduling meeting around this period.
Women
Though women are doing quite well in the ‘new economy’ in service sector companies,
still women executives, in senior positions in manufacturing sectors, are a relatively
new phenomenon in the Indian business environment. If you are a woman, you will
normally find people respectful and courteous, but not very comfortable in working
with you for business deals.
Behaving in a professional, confident, and poised manner will help overcome some of
this resistance. Women who wish to entertain a male associate should do so during
the day (business lunches are more popular than dinners anyway). An Indian man will
probably offer to pay the bill, but will not push the point if you politely insist on paying.
35
Women should be prepared for personal questions about their age, marital status, and
whether they have children. (These are common topics of conversation and are asked
of both men and women.).
Business dress code
Business attire is conservative.
• Men should wear dark colour conservative suits. However, since India has a warm
climate, often just a full-sleeved shirt with a tie is also acceptable. Very bright
colours should not be worn.
• In most companies, particularly in the IT sector, the dress code is much more
casual. However, as a visitor, conservative, though not formal, dress is advisable.
For foreign women, conservative pant-suits or long skirts, which cover the knees, are
more acceptable to wear.
Jeans with a T-shirt are acceptable as casual wear in informal situations for both men
and women. In a social gathering, if a foreigner wears an Indian costume [kurta-pajama
for men, and sari or salwar-suit for women], this kind of dress is also appreciated, and
often seen as a gesture of friendship.
Business entertaining
Business lunches are preferable to dinners in India. However, in recent times, business
dinners and ‘power breakfasts’ are also becoming popular. If you are invited for dinner
at home, it is advisable to arrive 15 to 30 mins late.
Mostly, business meals are organized in either high-class restaurants or in five-star
hotels. Some of these places are very much in demand, and you will need to book your
table in advance.
Most Indian dishes are quite spicy to the western palate. While ordering Indian food
you might want to ask the waiter/steward how spicy a given dish will be.
Toasting is not a normal custom in India. However, in business meals where drinks are
served, it is normal for the host to toast by raising the glass and saying ‘cheers.’
Normally, excessive tipping is not encouraged, but a certain amount of tip is expected.
In most restaurants, 5 to 10% is a sufficient tip, which may be added to the bill.
Important Do’s and Don’ts about Eating and Drinking
Many Indians do not eat non-vegetarian food (including eggs). So it is advisable to ask
your guests if they are vegetarians or non-vegetarians.
Generally non-vegetarian Hindus do not eat beef, and Muslims do not eat pork.
In ordering non-vegetarian dishes, chicken, lamb or fish are safe options.
Drinking is prohibited among Muslims, Sikhs and in many other Indian communities.
However, with changing times, and especially among urban educated Indians, this is
not strictly observed.
Traditional Indian women, regardless of their religion, don’t smoke or drink. Among
urban elite Indians, many women do drink wine or beer, and also smoke.
36
Business gifts
Gift giving is sign of friendship and is customary in India, but, it is generally not
expected at the first meeting. It is advisable not to give expensive gifts, since Indians try
to reciprocate gift, if it is too expensive, it can cause embarrassment for the recipient.
Use red, orange, yellow, green or blue coloured wrapping paper. White and black
colours are considered inauspicious.
Normally, gifts are not opened in the presence of the giver.
If you are invited to an Indian’s home for dinner, you should take some kind of gift,
such as a box of chocolates or flowers. If you are giving money as a gift, do remember
that 11, 51, 101, 501, etc. are considered auspicious numbers.
Different flowers have different connotations across India. A bouquet of roses is the
safest choice across the country.
If your host drinks and keeps drinks at home, a bottle of scotch whisky or wine will be
appreciated.
General Guidelines
Most Indians enjoy good conversation on a variety of topics. Even in business
meetings, it is common and normal to start discussions with ‘small talk’ on other
unrelated issues. In fact, this is seen as a way of building rapport and trust. Welcome
topics for discussion are politics, cricket, films and in recent times Indian economic
reforms. Topics to be avoided for conversation are religious beliefs (although genuine
enquiry into a religious practice or ritual will normally be met with an enthusiastic
response), relationship with Pakistan (many Indians can be very biased, emotional and
one-sided when discussing Pakistan) and poverty in India (Indians can discuss poverty
themselves but if a foreigner initiates discussion about it, it is likely to be interpreted
as impolite criticism).
Sometimes, Indians ask questions which can be seen as too personal and intrusive.
However, one must remember that discussing one’s family and personal life is normal
among Indians. In fact, often enquiring about the other person’s family is seen as a
sign of friendliness.
Conversation in India is as much an exchange of views as it is a mode of building and
strengthening relationships. Consequently, complimenting and showing appreciation
are quite normal among Indians.

World premier in India
developed
The Norwegian company DiaGenic has developed the world’s first
test for breast cancer requiring just blood. The test was launched in
New Delhi, India, in November. Breast Cancer is a growing problem in
India, and the test and few drops of blood offer real hope for Indian
women. “The BCtect™ - developed by DiaGenic - has the potential
to identify cancer early and in a very patient friendly way,” says Erik
Christensen, CEO of DiaGenic. “This makes the method suitable as
a first line test and as an adjunct to mammography.” Christensen is
very pleased that the largest laboratory chain in Southeast Asia, SRL
Ranbaxy LTD will distribute BCtect™ in India.
Growing problem in India
Breast cancer is the second most common form of
cancer amongst
Indian women and
is growing in both
urban and rural
communities. In
2007, 100,000
women died from
breast cancer,
and according to
the International
Agency for cancer
Research, it is
estimated there will be approximately
250,000 new cases in the country by
2015. Early diagnosis is essential for
improving survival rates, even more so
in India where the incidence is growing
among younger women. As per today,
only 10% of cases are detected at the
vital early stage where the odds for survival are highest. Currently, mammography
is the only real options to detect breast
cancer early. However, mammography
is not widely available in India and has
severe limitations in women with dense
breast tissue, especially younger women.
DiaGenic believes that the availability of
BCtect™ will help to improve the situation for Indian women considerably.
Remote signs offer a new way of
testing
DiaGenic scientists base the patentprotected concept for the early diagnosis
of diseases, like breast cancer, on a unique finding. They found that even when
a disease is localized at specific body site
such as the breast or brain, disease specific secondary responses can be measured
in clinical samples collected from other
far away parts of the body. One such response includes characteristic changes in
the expression pattern of selected genes
in blood samples taken from veins in the
arm. DiaGenic’s concept involves identifying these genes and using them to develop a disease-specific gene expression
signature for early disease detection.
Current methods not enough
Right from the beginning DiaGenic saw
breast cancer as an ideal application for
for breast cancer test
in Norway
its gene expression signature method.
According to CEO Erik Christensen, the
need to carry out breast cancer diagnosis
is present in all stages of the disease:
“The diagnostic methods currently in use
vary widely and all have clear limitations.
For example, mammography which is
used in mass screening and diagnosis has
difficulties in identifying small tumours
and is poorly suited to several types of
cancer and younger women.”
No difference between people
Development of BCtect™ was aided
through collaboration with one of the
world’s leading experts on breast cancer,
Professor Anne-Lise Børresen-Dale at the
Norwegian Radium Hospital. Based on
several clinical studies DiaGenic identified a set of genes and validated their
use in detecting breast cancer early in
Caucasian women.
The performance of the BCtect™ was
later tested in the diverse Indian population. One of DiaGenic’s founders,
Dr Praveen Sharma is from India and
he initiated a large multicenter study.
All BCtect laboratory procedures were
transferred to DiaGenic’s local laboratory
partner, LabIndia.
One of the key investigators in the trial,
Dr Yathish Kumar, Panacea Hospitals
Pvt. Ltd, Bangalore, welcomed the initial
results. He says there is a major need for
an early blood test in India: “Currently,
survival rates for breast cancer are low
in India and there is not an effective
screening program. Furthermore, Indian
women tend to have denser breast tissue
and to suffer from the disease earlier
than in the West. Using blood as the
sample material and being able to screen
earlier is thus an extremely attractive
proposition and would enable us to start
tackling the problem effectively.”
Available in India
Erik Christensen in DiaGenic says that the
trials attracted a great deal of interest.
“The intention is to enable
Indian women to have
regular check-ups with a
minimum of stress at their
local doctors.”
Dr Praveen Sharma, cofounder of DiaGenic adds:
“It is to my great satisfaction that DiaGenic will first
launch BCtect™ in India. There is an increasing need for this test in the country.
The incidence of breast cancer is rising
among younger women, and nationwide
screening program is lacking. There is low
rate of survival due to late discovery and
women are becoming more aware of the
disease. “
The Indian clinical trials and commercial setup has been coordinated by
DiaGenic’s Indian partner, PAC Med
Biotech Pvt. Ltd. Manipal Acunova acted
as DiaGenic’s CRO in India and LabIndia
performed all technical work.

Further Middle East
expansion a core
Goltens strategy
Led by its progress in the budding Dubai Maritime City (DMC) development project,
independent ship repair and maintenance service leader Goltens Worldwide Services
is significantly expanding capacity and services for the marine and power generation
markets in the Middle East. Special attention in this regard goes to the company’s
Bahrain, India, Saudi Arabia and Qatar satellite offices.
While established in New York in 1940, Goltens already utilises Dubai as its repair activities headquarters – but a beefed up staff and
an increased business portfolio have made
facility expansion necessary. Scheduled for
completion in 2009, the 12,400 m2 workshop
integrating all departments and activities and
the 3,000 m2 administrative office underway at
DMC will allow Goltens to localise its current
520 total staff in the area, create better synergy and facilitate further company growth.
“The DMC facility gives us an opportunity to
consolidate all of our services in an optimum
fashion under one roof, create a more flexible and efficient workspace, introduce some
new services and provide additional capacity
for future expansion. We believe that such a
state-of-the-art facility with the most up-todate workshop tools and equipment will provide our clients the best possible service and
quality,” says Goltens Worldwide Services
President Paul Friedberg.
Though the Dubai branch makes up the largest concentration of Goltens’ 600-strong staff
in the region, satellite offices throughout the
Middle East are gearing up for greater activities
as well. Goltens Bahrain’s diesel repair work
should swell through the recent opening of the
Arab Shipbuilding & Repair Yard’s (ASRY) twin
slipways. The slipways are ideal for accommodating offshore service boats, large tugs and
supply vessels, and will also enable ASRY to
free about 20% of the capacity of its existing
larger docks for receiving larger vessels.
Given Goltens Bahrain’s responsibility of performing all of the diesel repair work at ASRY,
its diesel, fuel, and governor department activities should increase substantially. In line with
this, Goltens Bahrain is not only carrying out
ongoing plans for additional workshop space,
but also has a goal of increasing its staff by up
to 35%. Recruitment is already underway.
The imminent opening of Goltens India’s new
workshops in Mumbai and Chennai during the
first quarter of 2009 should reap immediate
dividends, allowing the branch to undertake
quick repairs within the ports and attract even
more customers. Strategically located at the
gateway to Southeast Asia, the new workshops will not only have prime access to the
ports, but will also serve the power generation
and other industrial markets.
“With a limited number of professional and
quality conscious ship repair workshops in
the area, Goltens has a great opportunity here
to take a considerable market share,” says
Sandeep Seth, Managing Director for ME &
India Satellites, adding that Goltens India will
target approximately 300 shipowners and
agents located in the Mumbai and Chennai
areas for ship repair services.
When opened in 2009, Goltens’ new Dubai Maritime City hub will
comprise the company’s repair activities headquarters and include a
15,400 m2 integrated workshop.
