More summer jobs at Stena Fastigheter

Every year, Stena Fastigheter employs 300 summer workers. The jobs are offered to young people between the ages of 16 and 20 who live in Stena Fastigheter’s flats. The work they do includes taking care of the housing areas by weeding flowerbeds, painting and cleaning up storage areas. Including the summer workers recruited this year, Stena Fastigheter provided 1,500 summer jobs in five years! But the work on recruiting summer workers doesn’t stop there…

Be aware of fraud this summer!

After a long and cold spring, the warm weather is finally here. As the temperature rises and the days grow longer, attempted fraud is also on the rise. The crooks and fraudsters try to exploit the fact that we, like many other companies, employ summer substitutes who have less experience that our regular staff. IT-related fraud is increasing, both in the form of phishing mail, where the sender wants us to click on links so as to be able to attack us, and as false invoices via e-mail or normal mail.

Managed pressure drilling system

Managing pressure is critical to success in any industry where tight deadlines, complex problems and challenging environments stand between our goals and us. This is precisely true of the offshore drilling industry where the ability to accurately control sub-surface pressures can be the difference between successfully drilling hydrocarbon wells and not. Stena Drilling’s new Managed Pressure Drilling system allows to do just that, providing Clients with a new and innovative means of accessing hydrocarbon reserves that were previously deemed ‘un-drillable’.

Stena Line invests big in region Denmark

Stena Line makes a big investment to increase both freight and passenger transport to Denmark. The goal is to increase the number of passengers with 300,000 people and to double the freight volume of the Grenaa route.

During the spring, Stena Line’s collaboration with the charity organisation Mercy Ships was awarded. This collaboration is about more than just participating in charity, it is also about sharing our know-how and expertise. Accordingly, we have started a joint volunteer program, and this summer the first two volunteers will fly down to the Africa Mercy.
