Troll B

After 18 years in operation, the Troll B platform off Norway’s coast was subject to meticulous inspection of its morrings. Troll B uses a stud-link chains from Ramnäs. Not a single stud had come loose on the chain. Not a single crack could be seen. That’s what we mean by quality and economy.
