Seacroft Marine Consultants has clinched a contract worth £150,000 with a major North Sea oil and gas operator.
The deal with Chevron, which is for a three year term with two additional one year options, is for the provision of Emergency Response and Rescue Vessel (ERRV) assurance services in the region.
The long term agreement with Chevron takes new business wins for Seacroft to more than £1.15 million and follows recent contracts awarded with BP and Centrica E & P for the same services.
Currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, the Aberdeen based business has expertise including marine assurance packages, OVID and CMID inspections, marine warranty work, rig move services, International Safety Management audits and dynamic positioning assurance as well as simulator training in ship handling and bridge team management.
Seacroft continues as a market leader in ERRV related work which is an integral part of their wider service offering.
Michael Cowlam, Seacroft’s technical director, said: “This contact win with Chevron reflects the strength of our ERRV expertise and credit to the skills and knowledge in our team, which allows us to grow in line with client requirements. It also emphasises one of our key aims, which is to deliver cost effective solutions without compromising on safety standards.
“The energy sector, which is a big part of our client base, continues to go through the process of cost reduction across the board. We are able to assist with this by driving through efficiencies in marine services, as exemplified with this contract win. We are currently also providing various marine assurance packages to Apache, BP, Centrica E & P, CNR International, ConocoPhillips, Perenco, Shell OneGas, Shell UK and TAQA Bratani, which further exemplifies our strength in a broad range of marine assurance disciplines.
“We are determined to continue to capitalise on all opportunities available to us and further add to our rapidly increasing portfolio. This attitude has been recognised with a strong year so far in terms of important new business wins and we will work hard to further increase that.”
Based at the Roundhouse at Aberdeen Harbour, Seacroft has a team of 14 staff and more than 70 consultants. For further information visit www.seacroftmarine.com.
