NORTH Star Shipping, a division of global shipping and energy services firm Craig Group, said it had secured more than £20million of new business and deal renewals.
The supplier of offshore-support vessels added that the work included a new contract with the largest operator of floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels in the North Sea: Norwegian owned Teekay Petrojarl.
Teekay will be provided with emergency-response and rescue services using North Star’s Grampian Ranger vessel and her crew to support the Petrojarl Banff FPSO in the central North Sea from 2011 to 2014.
North Star has also renewed a rolling contract with oil firm Marathon which will see the Grampian Courageous and Grampian Protector continue to support operations in the Brae Field.
Its contract with CNR International in support of the Murchison and Tiffany locations, involving the Grampian Otter and Grampian Pioneer, has also been renewed on a rolling basis.
