Bureau Veritas secures batch of North Sea contracts

Bureau Veritas, a provider of testing, inspection and certification (TIC) services, has secured contracts worth more than £7.5 million over the past two months, for its North Sea Offshore Operations business. 

Bureau Veritas has won new contracts with several operators, as well as a number of extensions on existing contracts, with projects ranging from dynamic positioning assurance, independent verification, certification & Classification to marine assurance and marine warranty, the company said earlier this week.

Paul Shrieve, Regional CEO, North Sea Offshore Operations, said: “These recent contract wins show there is continued life in the North Sea, and reaffirms our long term commitment to the market.”

Additionally, Bureau Veritas-owned company, MAC, has won one of the largest projects secured since the maritime assurance service company was established.

The project will see the delivery of work in relation to a large scale decommissioning project. The scope involves the provision of assurance and warranty services for the removal and safe transportation ashore of platform jackets and topsides.

Operated by MAC from its base in Aberdeen, the project will use a core of personnel from across Europe in order to deliver the project.

Graeme Reid, Managing Director, MAC, said: “Bureau Veritas has had a strong and concentrated focus on its global offering for decommissioning in recent months and this project represents a solid step in the right direction, offering a key services component within the decommissioning portfolio.”
