OFFSHORE ACCOMMODATION
DELIVERING ON CUSTOMERS’ NEEDS WHENEVER AND WHEREVER
When you are aboard an offshore accommodation platform 30 miles from the nearest coastline you can’t just pop to the local shop if you run out of supplies!
Thanks to Hutton’s, the UK’s leading ship supplier, offshore industry customers can be confident that their supply requirements will be met wherever they are.
WORKING TOGETHER Working closely with customers such as C-Bed and SWE Offshore in the offshore renewables and windfarm sectors, the company ensures a reliable supply of fresh and frozen produce (provisions), medical equipment and spare parts, delivering 24/7, 365 days a year and whatever the weather.
Rob Ludlam, Hutton’s Offshore Renewables Divisional Manager, explains: “Accommodation vessels by their very definition carry with them a unique and sometimes challenging set of operational requirements, the most important being re-supply while in position offshore.”
Often these accommodation vessels are floating hotels with a vast array of requirements like any shore-based hotel.
Keeping costs low within tight budgets is a key factor for this industry. Rob

ONE-STOP-SHOP Rob outlines: “Here at Hutton’s we can provide a one-stop-shop service. On behalf of our clients we can oversee all the links in their supply chain from supply, warehousing and delivery to marine managers, port authorities and vessel masters. Simplifying the process in this way takes away the burden for customers, allowing them to focus on their busy industry safe in the knowledge that supplies are running smoothly thanks to Hutton’s.”
says: “Through our years of experience we fully understand the offshore wind industry and its need to increase efficiency and make cost reductions to achieve the goal of £100 per mWhr from its current level of between £130 - £140 per mWhr.”
ACHIEVING TARGETS
To help customers to achieve these targets Hutton’s has developed a wide range of solutions covering either offshore supply or port-based supply which include…
• Supply consolidation • Administrative support to produce time savings
• A ‘responsible person’ service to take charge of medical supplies and manage stock expiration dates
ATTENTION TO DETAIL Attention to detail is also extremely important to this vibrant industry sector as any mistakes would have repercussions all the way down the chain and even adversely affect offshore construction.
The company has developed effective systems to ensure a seamless service to their customers including an electronic ordering system which has proved a real success with customers. Through these means we ensure that customers receive exactly what they order correctly and quickly, eliminating any opportunity for misunderstanding.
