Ferguson Group Exhibits at UK’s Renewable Energy Event

The Ferguson Group, specialists in the rental of offshore containers, refrigerated containers, engineering modules and accommodation solutions to the offshore energy sector, is set to promote its extensive range of products and services at this year’s All Energy exhibition.

Ferguson Group will be exhibiting at the event on stand J119 during 22-23 May, at the AECC, Aberdeen.

Delegates will have the opportunity to meet with Ferguson Group representatives to learn more about the Group’s product range, including the ASV Pioneer, the Group’s first accommodation service vessel which last year completed its first renewables contract.

Ferguson Group will also be on hand to discuss recent product developments, including a new 6m refrigeration container launched by its IceBlue Refrigeration Offshore division. The new container offers a unique flexible system which allows single or dual temperature zoned compartments.

The Group has also made improvements to its range of 6m workspace modules, which provide a safe and comfortable fit for purpose working environment. Updates include a new internal fit out and dual or individual air-conditioning systems with an individual thermostat control.

Graham Cowperthwaite, Ferguson Group executive director – operations, said: “Our containers and modules are all manufactured to DNV 2.7-1/EN 12079 standards and certified by DNV. We are constantly developing our range of products in line with client needs and feedback, our new dual-zoned containers and upgraded workspace modules are already proving extremely popular, both with new and existing customers.

“All Energy is an important event for the Ferguson Group, particularly as we see our renewables business increasing year on year. Exhibiting provides the ideal opportunity to meet with clients, suppliers and visitors, to introduce our new products and features to this niche market.”

As well as growth in the renewables market, Ferguson Group has also significantly strengthened its global presence, increasing its international fleet with the mobilisation of new units to its bases in the UAE and Australasia.

Steven Ferguson, Chairman and CEO of the Ferguson Group, said: “This has been an extremely exciting period of growth for us. Last year we opened two new offices in the Middle East in recognition of client demand in the area, so that we can provide on the ground support.

“We have also strengthened our operations in Australia, relocating to a larger office in Perth, Western Australia as well as the launch of a new base in Karratha which is scheduled for later in the year.

“Internationalisation is a key aspect of our business and allows us to continue to expand the availability of products in key regions, enabling us to meet the increasing needs of our global client base.”

The Ferguson Group employs more than 185 people worldwide through its divisions serving the offshore container rental and accommodation modules markets. The Group, headquartered in Scotland, has operations in all major global oil and gas locations.
