Based in Oslo, Scanvi-Interyards AS operates as a specialized commercial and technical bridge between international equipment manufacturers and the Norwegian maritime industry. With operational roots tracing back to 1949, the company has evolved through decades of industry changes to become a central node in the supply chain for shipowners, shipyards, and offshore operators. The modern entity resulted from the convergence of established market actors, including the distinct operations of Interyards AS, which was formed in the early 1990s before the companies united their expertise.
The company functions primarily as a technical representative, distinct from a standard sales agent. Rather than simply facilitating transactions, Scanvi-Interyards AS manages the entire lifecycle of equipment integration, providing engineering competence, project management, and aftersales support. This model allows foreign technology developers to access the demanding Norwegian market while ensuring that local stakeholders receive equipment that meets rigorous regulatory and operational standards. The firm’s activities span the commercial shipping sector, the offshore energy industry, and naval defense projects, reflecting the diverse maritime landscape of the region.
Operationally, Scanvi-Interyards AS focuses on complex marine systems rather than commodities. Their scope of representation covers critical machinery and environmental technologies. This includes high-pressure compression systems, advanced deck machinery such as winches and handling equipment, and specialized engine maintenance tools designed to optimize propulsion efficiency. In response to increasing environmental regulations, the company has expanded its involvement in green technologies, supporting the integration of ballast water treatment systems, emission reduction solutions, and hull air lubrication technologies that lower fuel consumption.
Beyond equipment supply, the company maintains a dedicated ship repair and conversion division. Acting on behalf of various shipyards globally, they assist Norwegian shipowners in securing dry-docking slots and managing complex repair projects or vessel conversions. This service involves coordinating technical specifications and logistics to ensure vessels return to service efficiently. By combining technical equipment sales with shipyard representation and spare parts distribution, Scanvi-Interyards AS maintains a cohesive role in sustaining the operational readiness of the Norwegian merchant and offshore fleets.
