ABERDEEN energy service company RBG said yesterday it had added two dive-intervention craft (ICs) to its subsea fleet after a £2million investment.
RBG said the vessels would be used both offshore and inshore in the coming months for marine and subsea work.
The craft can be used in depths of 160 feet and up to 150 miles offshore.
Roddy James, RBG’s marine and subsea director, said: “The intervention craft are an important addition to our marine and subsea fleet.
“We are experiencing a significant demand for our subsea services and the ICs will ensure we can continue to deliver our integrated offering safely wherever we operate.”
Mr James, who joined RBG last month from parent Stork Technical Services (STS), where he was global account director for oil and gas, added: “We have delivered safe, innovative and cost-effective subsea solutions for our customers for more than 10 years and I am confident this investment will help us grow this excellent track record.
“As RBG integrates with and rebrands as STS, our customers will benefit from a wider subsea service offering and access to new technologies from across STS.”
Netherlands-based Stork bought RBG earlier this year in a deal believed to be worth between £150million and £250million.
