The Nordnes crew has a long tradition of sending digital Christmas greetings. By the nature of the vessel´s main task (creation of supports for and installation of rock protection over subsea infrastructure, mainly for the oil & gas industry) the ship has always been equipped with state-of-the-art communication facilities, comparable to most onshore offices.
One of the first digital Christmas cards that was created on the vessel, many years ago, became so popular within a short period of time, and so many people, both on- and offshore, started sending it towards each other, their relations and relatives, that not only the vessel´s IT server crashed, but also the server in the main office suffered a severe slow-down in data traffic.
However, since that embarrassing moment the rock stars on the vessel have come a long way, digitally.
Therefore now the season´s greetings are no longer distributed via satellite from the vessel, but are available to all on the Nordnes own website.
Everybody is invited to watch our special Christmas greetings to the world, those who were before you have given enthusiastic reviews! |
Please take a few hours to read the enthusiastic feedback we have received!
Sitting here being very silent reading all the positive reactions on the X-mas DVD form around the world, very impressive too. Ffpv Nordnes
This morning the Christmas DVD has been released at the Nordnes Christmas DVD release party in Oosterwijk. A selection of approximate 200 people watched the Premiere of our Christmas Greetings which you can find here on the status page. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!!! Ffpv Nordnes
And all the 200 persons at the x-mass lunch loved it!!!!! What a great movie. It was shown before Joep's feel good speech....I don't know what he said, I was still impressed by the Nordnes movie. Rob Bakker
Joep should have left it to the professionals as we are here. I have now seen it more than 20 times and it still gives me the shivers and chicken pock.
What a top piece of video making that all is, well done to you all. My pick for the best in class, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles! It looks like I'll be home for Christmas but I will raise several glasses to you all as you bounce about on the ocean. I hope you all have a top time and that 2011 is a great one for you all, thanks and good luck, Alan
Have seen the excellent video clip made by you and other crew of Nordnes, for which my compliments. It is amazing that all of you as Nordnes-crew can practise and excel in two professions, movie-making and rock dumping, with as milestone 7.500.000 tons rock since our Polish adventure some years ago. That is what they call "multi-tasking". Merry Christmas to you and all Nordnes crew!! Regards, Maurice Viset
Brilliant! Merry Christmas to everybody! Henk Griffioen

I am very glad to be part of that unique culture.

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Peter de Ruijter
