Sea Trucks nets Tullow work off Ghana

Sea Trucks Group has been awarded a contract from Tullow for the provision of a Construction Support Vessel (CSV) providing accommodation and heavy lift services to the turret moored FPSO Kwame Nkrumah.

Graeme Pennycook, Sea Trucks Group’s Managing Director, commented: “We are delighted that, in the present difficult market, Sea Trucks has been awarded this significant contract.”

Pennycook added: “This is our first contract award from Tullow; we look forward to demonstrating our strong project management and operational capabilities with them in what we hope will be the start of a long working relationship between the two companies.”
