Simon Møkster-skip deltar i NATO-øvelse

Forsyningsskipet Stril Mar blir benyttet til å støtte forsvaret.

Simon Møkster Shippings plattform forsyningsskip Stril Mar jobber til daglig med å bistå oljeselskaper med forsyningstjenester.

Nå må imidlertid slike arbeidsoppgaver vike, til fordel for et oppdrag av mer uvanlig art.

Skipet er nemlig tatt ut av sin vanlige operasjon for å delta i NATO-øvelsen Trident Juncture, ifølge en melding fra selskapet.

I tillegg til sitt sivile mannskap, har fartøyet fått besøk av et militært mannskap som benytter fartøyet som en base for lett vedlikehold, forsyninger av drivstoff og logistikkstøtte.

NATO-bidraget er en del av et konsept som kalles STUFT (ship taken out of trade) der sivile skip tas ut av sin normale operasjon for å støtte militære avdelinger på sjøen.
- Å være i stand til å teste denne kapasiteten under Trident Juncture gjør forsvaret i stand til å bedre kunne støtte fartøyene som er i operasjon, sier Kommandørkaptein Frode Staurset.
