Seasight Solutions: Ready to support the Danish Armed Forces on several fronts

At today’s visit by Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen in Ringkøbing, Seasight Group – with the affiliates Hvide Sande Shipyard and Seasight Solutions – had 40 minutes to present their total capacity and opportunities to contribute to the defense’s future tasks.

The visit cemented that both Hvide Sande Shipyard and its partners OSK Group and Karstensens Skibsværft are ready to quickly deliver the next generation of environmental ships to the Navy if a quick agreement can be secured.

But the dialog with the Minister went beyond the ships: Seasight Solutions’ deliveries to the Air Force, including platforms and access solutions for the new F-35 fighter jets, support equipment for sanitary units and solutions for other urgent matters were also on the agenda.

Years of cooperation with the Danish Armed Forces

For more than three decades, Seasight Group has been a regular partner to the Danish Armed Forces. This experience provides a solid foundation for playing a key role in the upcoming investments in Danish defense capacity.

“Our long-term collaboration means that the Danish Armed Forces know we deliver reliability, quality and customized solutions – both from Hvide Sande Shipyard and Seasight Solutions,” says Carl Erik Kristensen, CEO of Seasight Group.

This history and understanding of the Defense’s needs was clearly highlighted during the meeting as a strength in relation to the upcoming projects at sea, land and air.

Ready to take on greater responsibility

Seasight Solutions is already experiencing a significant increase in demand as the Danish Defense accelerates its procurement. CEO Thomas Halkjær Kristensen sees it as the company’s responsibility to be there when Denmark needs it.

“Of course, the situation in Europe is serious, and as a Danish supplier, it is our job to be ready with solutions where needed – both for the new aircraft, the sanitary troops and other urgent projects,” he says.

For many years, Seasight Solutions has been the main supplier of specialized platforms for virtually everything that can fly in the Danish Armed Forces, and today the company covers a wide range – from support equipment for aircraft and helicopters to stairs and access roads for containers and more.

“If there is an airplane or helicopter that needs servicing or painting, we have almost always delivered the work platforms used for those tasks,” says Thomas Halkjær Kristensen.

Speed without compromise

The need for fast, reliable deliveries was a key theme during today’s visit, and Seasight Group is clearly positioning itself to meet this demand.

“Even with a full order book across the group, we are ready to deliver quickly and efficiently – whether it’s new environmental protection vessels, platforms for the F-35, or critical equipment for sanitary units,” says Carl Erik Kristensen.

In addition, Seasight Solutions and Hvide Sande Shipyard are also ready to bid as suppliers for future procurements of arctic patrol ships and home guard vessels.

“Danish suppliers can deliver both quality and speed – and we are ready to play an even bigger role when the Danish Armed Forces step up the pace,” concludes Thomas Halkjær Kristensen.
