Aleron Subsea said yesterday it had secured a £3.1million deal to supply specialist equipment to a leading marine services firm.
Aleron, which recently relocated its head office from Singapore to the South Fornet Business Centre, just outside Westhill, specialises in remotely operated vehicle (ROV) rentals.
It said its latest contract would see it supply two work-class ROV systems and associated technology for shallow and deepwater applications around the world.
The customer cannot be identified due to a confidentiality agreement.
Founded in 2010 by managing director Mike Bisset, Aleron boasts eight work-class ROV systems and “extensive” experience working in all aspects of the subsea industry, specifically in pipeline survey and decommissioning work and drill, construction, trenching and diver support.
The firm currently employs 20 people and plans are in place to recruit more staff during 2015.
Mr Bisset said: “2014 was a successful year for the company due to a number of contract wins.
“Although the industry is going through a challenging period, Aleron has had a successful start to 2015.”
