DeepOcean has been awarded a contract to provide post-lay trenching offshore Abu Dhabi.
The award comes after the successful completion of two other contracts in waters off the UAE in 2016 and early 2017.
The post-lay trenching and backfilling works on 56km of power cable will take place in late 2017, with DeepOcean’s T1 being mobilised from the UK after extensive upgrades.
Tony Stokes, managing director of Asia Pacific and Middle East, said: “We are extremely pleased to receive this award as it is a testament to the confidence our clients have in DeepOcean’s ability to provide burial solutions in the most difficult soil conditions.
“We are looking forward to a successful campaign and the continuation of building our presence in the Middle East through supporting our clients with market leading assets.”
