Stork Technical Services was awarded a major £10million ($15.9 million) contract for subsea inspection activity with a major operator, offshore West Africa.
The award involves the complete underwater inspection of an FPSO (floating, production, storage and offloading) vessel and loading facilities' subsea infrastructure to ensure integrity of the hull and associated equipment.
To service the contract, Stork has entered into a 15-month charter of the specialist dive support vessel, Adam's Vision, which is fitted with a complete air and nitrox diving spread and daughter craft.
Approximately 60 Stork Subsea employees will be involved in the project. The onsite operatives will be working from the Adam's Vision and dive intervention craft and will be supported by an onshore project management team in Aberdeen, U.K.
The contract will be serviced by Stork Technical Services Subsea.
Roddy James, director, Stork Technical Services Subsea, said: "Stork has significant expansion plans this year and will be investing in new vessels, equipment and people."
