Bibby Offshore Scoops North Sea Subsea Gig

Bibby Offshore secured a contract with an undisclosed energy company to provide first gas and construction support on its assets in the Southern North Sea.

The contract, due to be executed between Q3 and Q4 2016, will see Bibby Offshore’s construction support vessel Olympic Ares, and its diving support vessel Bibby Polaris, perform subsea engineering work 150 kilometers off the coast of Lincolnshire.

The work scope consists of pre-commissioning and commissioning support, and carrying out a range of construction services including valve operations, spool installation, umbilical pull in and lay, trenching and stabilisation through installation of concrete mattresses.

The contract is Bibby Offshore’s second construction project with the client, following a previous successful campaign in 2015.

Howard Woodcock, chief executive at Bibby Offshore, said: “This is a significant win for Bibby Offshore – not only is it a strong representation of our technical engineering capabilities, but it further underlines our commitment to the North Sea market.

“Continued collaboration with this important and valued client reinforces confidence in our innovative solutions and operational abilities. In an increasingly competitive market, our skillset helps our clients conduct operations in a safe, efficient and cost-effective manner.”
