HERNIS – a thriving business with thriving co-workers

HERNIS is experiencing international success and

the work force is growing steadily in our offices in

Arendal, Singapore and Houston. We are proud of

the level of competence and enthusiasm that has

made HERNIS the world leader within our niche -

state-of-the-art television surveillance systems for

extreme environments off- and onshore. Our

systems provide security & safety for people and

equipment.

During this past year we have increased our

organisation by 14 people, some of whom you can

meet in this newsletter. For the head office in

Arendal we are currently looking for even more co-

workers both within R&D, Engineering, Service

and Administration.

On January 24th HERNIS looks forward to

meeting students at a local Career Planning Event,

to arouse interest for our unique products and to

promote our good work environment. Our new HR

Manager Ann-Kari Heier urges Engineer graduates

from the local university to apply for work at

HERNIS. “We look forward to interesting

challenges ahead and welcome both recent graduates

and experienced people to apply for work at

HERNIS to contribute to our continued success”.

Software Engineer Carl Are Dreier Hopen

(portrayed on the cover), has worked for HERNIS

for nearly 8 years, ever since he graduated from the

college of higher education in Grimstad. “To deliver

the best products in the market we need to keep a

high technical level and high pace. The pride of

developing HERNIS’ state-of-the-art quality

products and career opportunities internally and

internationally is what’s keeping me here. Another

incentive is of course the work environment. In

HERNIS we are competing – not to promote

ourselves, - but to reach common goals through

excellent fellowship. Even though the company has

grown to above 100 employees, everyone’s opinion

still counts” Mr. Hopen says.

“China will soon be the number one shipbuilding

nation in the world with respect to numbers of

ships and thus represents an enormous potential for

expected to grow in China. Through winning this

contract HERNIS has proven competitive and a

preferred partner” says Bjørn Fossestøl, Marketing

In 2006 HERNIS entered into acooperation with National OilwellVarco (NOV) to integrate HERNISCCTV operation into the NOVstandard Amphion Control TouchPC.The prototype was presented atOTC 07 at the AC-Ideal Demo Rig.Positive results immediately led tomore orders!

Since 2006 HERNIS has been enjoying a mutually

beneficial technological cooperation with National

Oilwell Varco. The initial project was to develop

software to operate the HERNIS 8x8 CCTV system

via NOV’s own Amphion Control Touch PC used

for Drilling Control. Based on successful tests at the

demonstration rig AC-Ideal at OTC in Houston

May 2007, the cooperation was expanded and

another 5-6 systems have now been ordered.

The concept has been expanded to incorporate

larger CCTV systems like HERNIS 500, this

system has been selected for the drilling units

Lonestar, Goldstar, Norbe VI and Delba III, where

the CCTV system is distributed in 4 cabinets

networked by a gigabit Ethernet. This allow for easy

integration of the Amphion Touch PC’s, as well as a

high quality digital recording of all the cameras.

Carl Are Hopen, R&D Software Engineer at

HERNIS and responsible for the software

integration is very pleased with the cooperation and

the resulting product. “The customised operation of

the HERNIS CCTV system via NOV’s own Touch

Screen Drilling Control System is the optimal

solution for the customers in terms of easy

installation and end-user requirements. I was

satisfied to learn that the people who tested the new

Touch Screen operation in fact drew attention to

the user friendly operation. The new interface is

loosely based on Sea Touch and includes features

like Quad control and in-video pan & tilt. During

the process I have gained useful experience with

Windows XP Embedded and exiting ideas for

further product development are being discussed in

the organisation as we speak”.

Chao and their good colleagues. In additional Jan

Kristensen, overall Sales Manager was also visiting

the exhibition from Norway to add a complete

international presence to the show.

Mr. Gundersen was satisfied with our own

performance and the overall organization of the

show. “The Marintec China 2007 was an improved

exhibition compared to 2 years ago and many

interesting customers attended during the 4-day

period in November. Despite the modest quantity

of equipment we chose to exhibit interest was great

and clearly underlines the importance of the future

China marked. With many ongoing and upcoming

projects in the region our agent and our Area Sales

Manager were having their hands full highlighting

the advantages of HERNIS CCTV equipment over

the competition” he says.

The Chinese economy is growing rapidly and the

marine transportation volume is increasing with an

enormous speed. China's demand for new shipping

in 2006-2010 is forecast to be 31 million DWT, or

approximately 6.2 million DWT on average per

year. “With world leading CCTV equipment tailor

made for marine environments this obviously is an

important business arena for HERNIS” Mr.

Gundersen sums up.

Over 1,100 exhibiting companies attended

Marintec China this year, with 35,309 visitors being

registered. This was up 17% on the previous event

in 2005.
