Maersk Supply Service has followed up a North Sea decommissioning contract with a similar deal that will secure employment for five ships.
The company has sealed a second contract with Maersk Oil UK for the Leadon subsea project, two months after putting pen to paper for the Janice field in the North Sea.
Steen Karstensen, new chief executive of Maersk Supply, said: “Securing the Janice as well as the Leadon contracts shows that Maersk Supply Service is a trusted partner when it comes to delivering projects with broader scopes of works and responsibilities.
“Through managing project partners and leveraging our internal capabilities we are able to deliver a more simplified, cost-effective and safe project solution for our customers.”
This is the first contract secured by Maersk Supply under the leadership of Karstensen, who took over from Jorn Madsen in October.
The same Maersk Supply team that is working on the Janice decommissioning will begin work on the Leadon subsea field in autumn 2017.
Up to five Maersk Supply ships will be deployed for this project, including state-of-the-art newbuildings.
It is expected to be completed in December 2017, the company added.
Maersk Supply has secured its latest contracts hot on the heels of revealing plans to make job cuts and offload 20 vessels.
