From the supply of crane operations and management services for offshore platforms to bespoke mechanical handling solutions, we have worked on many safety critical offshore energy projects across the world.
In high risk and hazardous working environments, the safety and performance of lifting operations is of paramount importance and that is why our customers trust us to advise on and manage their requirements.
Our first venture into the offshore energy sector was through the supply of crane operators to the North Sea’s Forties field in the 1970s. Today we deliver our broad range of specialist equipment and engineering services to many of the industry’s global high profile projects.
Our experience covers many asset types including:
- Fixed production platforms
- FPSOs
- Drilling rigs (all types including jack-ups, semi-submersibles and drill ships)
- Marine vessels (all types including cable and pipe lay, dive support, construction support and heavy lift vessels).
