It is about respect

Karsten Moholt AS accepts no harm to people, the environment or materials. Our goal is to be a leader in HSE and quality in our segment. We have set up concrete parameters that we measure and use as we continue to strive to improve.

CONTROL SYSTEM

Over time, Karsten Moholt AS has developed and implemented an integrated control system. The system is certified by Nemko and IQ Net according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OSHAS 18001 and is designed to continuously improve complex work processes and the interaction between them, and manage them according to our corporate responsibility to our employees, customers, governments, owners and the environment.

QUALITY

At Karsten Moholt AS we focus on the customer and deliver products and services at the right time, quality and by using the right expertise. Our goal is always to meet the customer’s requirements and contribute to cost-efficiency through efficient and cost-conscious execution of our work and the application of new methods and technologies. Therefore, we have also established clear quality goals that we navigate by. We are, as the only company in Norway, in addition to being a Nemko-approved workshop, both IECEx- and UL-approved to repair and overhaul equipment for use in environments with high explosion risk. Furthermore, our Condition Monitoring Department is both DNV GL-approved and ABS-approved as a service provider and authorised training and examining body for maintenance personnel. We are also an approved service centre for ABB, Nemko and approved as an expert forklift controller. The company is registered in several prequalification databases for suppliers, such as Achilles JQS, TransQ, Sellicha and StartBank. In addition to the on-going audits carried out by these customers and certification companies, we also continuously control our own systems, processes and products through internal quality audits.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

We aim to manage HSE initiatives in the company in a proactive and future-oriented way. It is important to us that our products and services are delivered with minimum impact on the environment and a high degree of safety for our employees in the production process.

The company creates annual HSE programmes. We have established concrete measurement parameters related to our health and safety goals, including absolute goals for zero injuries and accidents, zero work-related sickness absence and zero emmisions to the outside environment that are subject to reporting requirements. The goals are continuously monitored through the control system, and unwanted events are continuously recorded in our quality system as well as uncovered through regular safety inspections and internal HSE audits. The company also has systems for training and skills development, and all new employees must complete HSE training as part of the company’s training plan. Karsten Moholt is well on its way towards the goal of zero damages, and in recent years the number of unwanted incidents and accidents have been very low. The company is, however, well aware that this work never ends.

Agreement on the delivery of equipment and/or services

1. General provisions
Karsten Moholt AS (KM) has created their own terms for their deliveries to the Customer. To the extent that the delivery includes machines and other electromechanical equipment, NL 01 applies. To the extent that a delivery involves machines and other electromechanical equipment including assembly, NLM 02 applies. The terms of NL 01 / NLM 02 apply, with the changes and additions listed in the terms below, together with price estimate and order confirmation.

2. Price estimate
The price estimate commits KM only within the time limit KM has specified in the estimate. If no time limit is specified, the price estimate is open for acceptance for 15 days from the date it was issued.

3. Prices
All prices presuppose free and timely access to carry out the work and timely delivery of the necessary information from the Customer. KM reserves the right to claim coverage of all additional costs and to adjust delivery times in case of lacking free and timely access to carry out the work and delayed delivery of information. The prices do not include any work or parts needed due to unforeseen electrical or mechanical errors, or defects that lie beyond the parameters used when diagnosing the equipment, and therefore can only be uncovered later, during an overhaul process. The prices included in KM’s price lists do not include government taxes, such as value added tax (VAT). Price adjustments may be made in connection with currency fluctuations and national salary settlements.

4. Invoicing

Diagnostics and storage of customer equipment
All costs incurred for diagnosis/planning or technical investigation of equipment will be invoiced after 15 days. After that, costs for storage of customer equipment will be invoiced according to the current storage costs, as described in the payment terms in Section 5, Payment terms.

Work at KM’s workshop
Work carried out in our workshops is invoiced on a time-spent basis if no other agreement exists. If the services are to be carried out at a fixed price, reservations are made for unforeseen electrical and mechanical errors – time spent on such errors will be reported and billed. If the services require overtime work, work over 8 hours will be billed as 50 % overtime for the first five hours and 100 % after that. Unless otherwise agreed, KM will invoice partial payments according to progress on the work order or on an agreed milestone. Ordered parts with a total purchase value of over NOK 100,000,– will be invoiced consecutively.

Testing
Unless otherwise stated in the price estimate, testing of motors or generators means running idle. KM is not liable for the condition of the AVR when testing its associated generator in the KM workshop. If KM is to be able to test the AVR of a generator, this must be done in the field with the possibility of loading and unloading.

Remote condition monitoring and analysis services
Work related to planning, sensor installation and/or other start-up costs required to deliver remote condition monitoring and analysis services will be invoiced according to the time and materials spent and is, unless otherwise agreed, subject to the same terms regarding overtime, travel expenses etc. as other work under these general terms. If the services are to be delivered at a fixed rate, including sensor delivery and installation, KM reserves the right to invoice any additional time spent due to lack of free and timely access, delays, incorrect information from the customer or unforeseen electrical or mechanical errors.

Unless otherwise agreed, sensors and other necessary equipment are invoiced according to KM’s price lists and becomes the customer’s property upon installation and full payment.

Remote condition monitoring and analysis services are invoiced every month unless otherwise agreed. Unless agreed otherwise, the customer has the right to sell or give his customer access to reports/analyses. KM should under no circumstances be liable for the customer’s customer for any losses due to the use of such reports or analyses.

In cases where the remote condition monitoring and analysis services are based on data from sensors and equipment not installed by KM, KM is not liable for any errors in the services to the extent that they are caused by errors in the provided data. The terms of section 7 and 8 also apply in full.

Contracts for providing remote condition monitoring and analysis services have a fixed duration of 12 months, after which they are automatically renewed for a further 12 months unless notice of cancellation is given at least 30 days before the end of the current 12-month period.

Field services

Offshore in Norway/abroad
Offshore work is invoiced monthly based on the hours spent in accordance with signed time sheets. Work that goes beyond 12 hours will be invoiced as 100 % overtime work. If day rates are given for work in the field this is based on a normal 12-hour working day, and any overtime will be added to this. Accrued working hours will be invoiced monthly.

Onshore in Norway
Onshore work is invoiced monthly based on the hours spent. Work over 8 hours will be billed as 50 % overtime for the first five hours, and then 100 % overtime after that. If day rates are given for work in the field this is based on a normal 8-hour working day, and any overtime will be an addition to the agreed day rate. Outside Hordaland, an out-of-town surcharge is added in the form of a 20 % increase in the hourly rate.

Onshore abroad
Onshore work outside Norway is invoiced monthly based on the hours spent in accordance with signed time sheets. Work that goes beyond 12 hours will be invoiced as 100 % overtime work in addition to the agreed day rate. If day rates are given for work abroad this is based on a normal 12-hour working day.

Mob/demob
For regular oil destinations in Norway (Bergen, Stavanger, Florø, Kristiansund, Brønnøysund and Hammerfest) fixed mobilisation and demobilisation rates are used unless otherwise agreed. The rates include mobilisation from Storebotn 90 to check-in at the heliport of the chosen destination. Upon demobilisation the rates apply from check-out at the heliport at the chosen destination and to Storebotn 90.

The following are not included in the mob/demob rates and will therefore be invoiced hour by hour:

• Waiting time at the heliport after check-in
• Waiting time for helicopter offshore
• Travel time to and from the oil platform

6. Delivery and risk transition
Delivery of equipment takes place in accordance with Incoterms® 2010 ‘EXW’ unless otherwise agreed.

7. Receipt and responsibility for deficiencies
KM provides a 12-month warranty against errors and defects in work/services carried out by us in our workshops or in the field. No guarantees are given for temporary emergency repairs. KM has no responsibility for errors that occur due to use of the equipment, including improper use and inadequate maintenance. No guarantees or acceptance of liability are made for generators that, after overhaul or repair, are operated with low load against the filter and frequency converter, as this may lead to feeding reactive power into the generator. The customer covers all costs for transporting personnel and equipment to and from all offshore locations, and board and lodging at offshore locations. KM is not liable for any damages or losses that arise as a consequence of incorrectly / inadequately performed work. In case of a complaint, the customer must organise dismantling and shipment of the equipment to KM’s workshop. The Customer must complete KM’s root cause analysis form and submit this to KM when filing a complaint.

The customer is obliged to carry out an immediate receiving inspection no later than a day after the equipment has arrived at the customer’s premises. Complaints addressed to KM regarding damages, deficiencies or losses must be made no later than a week after receiving the equipment. If no such complaint is made within a week of receiving the equipment, the delivered equipment is considered to be without deficiencies, damage or losses upon delivery.
