Bibby Offshore awarded multi-million-dollar North Sea contract

ABERDEEN, Scotland -- Bibby Offshore has announced a multi-million-dollar contract with a global energy player, to provide first gas and construction support on its assets in the Southern North Sea.

The contract, which is due to be executed between the third quarter and fourth quarter, will see Bibby Offshore’s construction support vessel Olympic Ares, and its diving support vessel Bibby Polaris, perform subsea engineering work 150 km off the coast of Lincolnshire, in water depths of 21 m and 48 m. 

The workscope, which includes precommissioning and commissioning support, involves Bibby Offshore carrying out a range of construction services comprising valve operations, spool installation, umbilical pull in and lay, trenching and stabilization through installation of concrete mattresses. Supported by Bibby’s dedicated onshore engineering team, the company will have access to offshore construction and pull in/lay teams, ensuring efficiency and productivity is maximized. 

The contract is Bibby Offshore’s second construction project with the client, following a previous campaign in 2015.

“This is a significant win for Bibby Offshore—not only is it a strong representation of our technical engineering capabilities, but it further underlines our commitment to the North Sea market,” Howard Woodcock, chief executive at Bibby Offshore, said.
