Aberdeen-based project management and engineering expertise will support a new multimillion contract group won by energy service group Harkand from Maersk Oil North Sea.
Harkand is to supply diving support vessel (DSV) services under the one-year deal, using its Da Vinci and Atlantis ships.
The contract covers well tie-ins, structure installation, piling, flexible flowline lay, flexible riser installation, pre-commissioning, riser recovery, decommissioning and general inspection, repair and maintenance work.
Harkand Europe managing director David Kerr said: “We look forward to delivering a consistent and cost-efficient service to Maersk, which is especially critical in today’s business environment.
“By utilising both our sister DSVs, we will provide a robust and fully flexible approach to executing both planned and unplanned interventions, and we will work closely with Maersk to ensure safe and successful campaigns.”
The DaVinci and Atlantis DSVs are both equipped with high-tech saturation diving systems, 140tonne cranes and Super Mohawk remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems.
Harkand provides offshore vessels, ROVs and diving, survey, project management and engineering services to the oil and gas and renewables industries.
The London-headquartered group employs nearly 1,000 people at operations in Aberdeen and Houston.
