STS by Normands

Berthing large vessels alongside each other at sea, en route or being anchored, is unusual if not unnatural. Most of captains and crews might be concerned about such manoeuvres. It requires sang-froid, determination, and extensive know-how.

We, Normands, are mooring masters experts in ship-to-ship. 

We are a bunch of Normands close friends and seasoned mariners working hand in hand

  • in harbors
  • at sea
  • and offshore.

We are the Normands*

Each of us has been working on all continents.
All of us operate worldwide.
Any of us can be mobilized on the spot.
