as well as the terminal at Flotta.
The initial award is for period of two years, with options to extend for a further

The announcement follows Repsol Sinopec Resources UK’s move to an assetfocused
organisational structure, and is one of a number of major new service

transformation. This includes focusing on rationalising and investing in the longterm
integrity of its asset portfolio.

delighted to have been awarded this contract which will allow us to support
Repsol Sinopec Resources in their offshore operations in the North Sea.
“Securing this long-term contract with Repsol Sinopec Resources UK was a
major strategic target for us. Adding a further six large assets to our portfolio of
North Sea contracts consolidates our position as market leaders in fabric
maintenance and industrial support services for the offshore industry.

innovation, technology and our people over recent years is being recognised by
the marketplace, whilst continuing to benefit our employees and customers.
“We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Repsol Sinopec
Resources. ”

awards will drive greater innovation and competition in the supply chain, and
improve accountability within our own business.

transformation to an effective and sustainable operation - even in the current
challenging market. This is a great opportunity for the local supply chain that will
help us deliver long-term value to our shareholders, partners and employees.”
