This course was first developed in 2014 by the laboratory company Kystlab AS, which was our company name back then. The scaling and development of our company have included both mergers and shareholder changes, and our name is now Nemko Norlab AS – a part of renowned Nemko Group. We are still the largest, Norwegian owned laboratory company, and “Clean water offshore” is still based on our company´s year-long experience with water laboratory analysis, including potable water offshore. In Nemko Norlab the scientific know-how is further strengthened, and the service portfolio to the offshore segment expanded significantly. All together we now conduct over 100.000 routine analyses annually related to drinking water.

New in the 5th Edition

- As with the Covid-19 virus, the focus on the lethal shower microbe Legionella is increasing offshore due to the risk of disease outbreak. The training course has therefore been further strengthened to prevent Legionella disease.

- The course is also updated according to new recommendations for the annual sampling program, changes that potentially will lower analysis costs.

- This edition has also been updated in accordance with current regulations, including an important change in authority responsibility. The Institute of Public Health is no longer responsible for anything offshore.
