Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) – Application Support for the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS)

VTC Offshore supports rig owners in preparing and executing Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) applications for drilling operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), aligned with the AoC Handbook (2024 edition), requirements from the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil), and applicable industry standards (including relevant NORSOK references).

With extensive experience from MODU intake verifications, rig audits, regulatory compliance, and authority dialogue, we deliver a structured and practical process that reduces rework, improves predictability, and strengthens the application basis—supporting a clear path towards a drill-ready rig.

What we deliver

  • AoC readiness assessment (scope definition, key gaps, and compliance roadmap)
  • Structured AoC documentation package aligned to handbook expectations
  • Verification of technical and operational compliance across relevant disciplines
  • Support in authority dialogue (meeting preparation, responses, and follow-up)
  • Execution support through submission and closure (actions, evidence, and final delivery)

Our approach

We combine hands-on offshore experience with a verification mindset: clear expectations, documented evidence, and efficient coordination—while keeping the rig owner in control of decisions, timelines, and priorities. (Final approval is issued by Havtil.)
