ROVOP Lands Offshore Wind, O&G Work

Aberdeen-based ROV operator ROVOP has won several contracts across the offshore wind and oil and gas sectors with a combined value of USD 4 million (EUR 3.6 million).

The contracts are with new clients and include construction support, cable lay and protection, survey, and inspection repair and maintenance (IRM),  ROVOP said without providing any further details.

The contracts are spanning the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, West Africa and Europe.

CEO of ROVOP, Steven Gray, said: “I am encouraged by the contract awards and continued positive momentum in increasing both our client base and future pipeline of work. As a result of these awards, we are increasing our offshore workforce across both Aberdeen and Houston. It’s clear that the market remains challenging, however, ROVOP continues to win work by focussing on saving cost for our customer.”

ROVOP announced the new contracts following a visit by The Rt Hon Greg Clark MP in his role as the UK Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

“We were delighted to welcome the new Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Greg Clark to our Aberdeen facilities today, which allowed us to outline our full service capabilities and briefly detail our key target markets in which we operate – oil and gas, offshore wind, telecoms and power transmission industries,” Gray said.

“This followed a similar visit two weeks ago by Paul Wheelhouse, the Scottish Government Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy. The continued prolonged market downturn has been significant. However, this downturn will undoubtedly create opportunity for those companies who address the current challenges and adapt to the new market environment. This flexible approach, along with looking to increase cost efficiencies to clients should ensure we continue to be well positioned in our target markets going forward.”
