SOME 30 jobs are being created for officers and crew as a new vessel joins Craig Group’s North Star Shipping fleet.
The Grampian Confidence is an emergency-response and rescue ship.
The newly launched vessel is part of an ongoing investment programme worth £130million by Craig.
Grampian Confidence joins the fleet to support operations with CNR International at the Ninian complex in the east Shetland basin next month.
North Star managing director Callum Bruce said: “We are delighted that the Grampian Confidence will continue the work on the Ninian complex which North Star has supported since the early 1990s.
“The vessel’s completion marks the continuation of our extremely successful investment programme which began in 2003.
“Emergency-response and rescue vessels are an absolutely essential part of the industry’s oil and gas exploration and production operations in the North Sea.
“We are constantly looking at ways of modernising our fleet through new builds using the most up-to-date vessel technology and designs.”
