North-east firm Legasea, set up in 2019 to recover oilfield equipment and make it fit for reuse, has doubled the size of its workforce since January.
Due to an increase in project work, Legasea has increased its headcount to 14 from seven, and is now looking to repeat the feat by the end of the 2022, giving it a 30-strong team.
Legasea bosses provided the update after announcing a contract with North Sea giant Harbour Energy for subsea services and associated goods over an initial five year period.
The award covers a range of electrical, mechanical and hydraulic engineering services, as well as consultation in relation to decommissioning and the circular economy.
Ray Milne, operations director at Legasea, which is based at Birchmoss site near Echt, said: “We are delighted to be providing support to assist Harbour’s vital investment in the future of the North Sea.
“We look forward to developing our relationship with them further, by providing safe, efficient and sustainable delivery of goods and services”.
He said the contract did not have a fixed value.
