Location & Operations
Specialist location and operations support — Research, know-how, scouting, permits, access coordination,
logistics and on-the-ground execution across Norway.
Arctic & Svalbard
Location and operations support in high-complexity Arctic environments — extreme climate,
seasonal constraints, sensitive areas, regulation and heavy logistics.
Marine Operations
Vessel-based filming and marine coordination — enabling access, mobile on-location bases
and logistics solutions where land-based infrastructure is limited.
How we work
Early involvement reduces risk — especially in complex, remote and regulated environments.
In Norway and the Arctic, production planning is shaped by factors that cannot be solved on set:
weather windows, seasonal access, climate exposure, transport limitations and regulatory processes.
We work upstream with producers and production teams to identify constraints early — from permits
and land access to safety requirements, logistics, equipment needs and realistic cost structures.
Clear scope, transparent budgeting and informed decision-making reduce uncertainty later.
In challenging environments, preparation is not overhead — it is risk control.
Working with service production companies
On major international productions, STERK always works alongside established Norwegian service production companies. Our role is specialist location, Arctic, marine, safety and field-operations support — not full line production, production accounting, payroll, VAT or incentive administration.
For smaller productions, documentaries, commercials, branded content or compact international crews, STERK can support directly when the scope is primarily location scouting, fixer work, access, permits, marine logistics, safety or practical field coordination.
