COSALT Offshore said yesterday it had achieved a milestone endorsement from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
The company, which provides lifeboat services for several leading North Sea operators, has been approved by the MCA to provide essential inspection and testing to the maritime industry.
Rod Buchan, chief executive of Cosalt Offshore, said: “We have developed and expanded the maritime division in Aberdeen and now have a team of competent, multi-skilled technicians working both on and offshore. Securing status as a MCA-approved independent lifeboat servicing and testing organisation takes our work to the next level and will ensure we can continue to grow the business. It adds additional opportunities to enhance our service to the maritime industry and allows vessel owners and operators additional choice in selecting service providers.”
Cosalt Offshore provides lifting integrity management solutions and lifeboat and maritime services to the oil and gas and maritime industries. It has nearly 300 staff in Aberdeen and Stavanger.
