Fixed platforms, drilling rigs and MIKE (YME + Ormen lange) • The Norwegian fixed platforms and drilling riggs are placed in the North Sea and in the Norwegian Sea (sending 8 or 24 observations per day). • Ormen Lange new in 2009
Research vessels • G.O. Sars (LMEL) – North Atlantic – VSAT • Johan Hjort (LDGJ) – Norwegian Sea, Barent Sea – VSAT • Håkon Mosby (LJIT) – west coast, Svalbard – VSAT • FF Jan Mayen (LAHV) – Northern coast, Svalbard, 80 N – Inmarsat/Iridium.
