Teekay Offshore Awards FPSO Contract to Bilfinger
Tuesday 19 June 2018
Bilfinger Salamis UK has been awarded a significant contract from Teekay Offshore, building on a positive first quarter for the industrial services firm.
The new three-year contract, with the option of two one-year extensions, continues a successful relationship between the companies, which began in 2014.
Leading maintenance, modifications and operations specialist Bilfinger will deliver fabric maintenance services on Teekay’s four North Sea FPSOs - Petrojarl Foinaven, Petrojarl Banff, Voyageur Spirit and Hummingbird Spirit.
The award includes a range of services including surface preparation and coating application; insulation and cladding; fireproofing; scaffolding and access provision; vessel and tank cleaning; rope access, and environmental services.
Investment in facilities
This latest contract follows the announcement in March that Bilfinger had secured a multi-million pound technical manpower services contract with Shell UK, managed from the company’s Great Yarmouth base.
In the last year, Bilfinger’s Great Yarmouth operation has secured projects worth more than £75million with several oil and gas operators, and in May moved to a purpose-built facility to further help support the long-term operations of the southern North Sea base, from which 400 people are employed.
Initially focused on offshore fabric maintenance, the company has since expanded its SNS and Netherlands offering, and in recent years developed its service capability to secure major maintenance, inspection and renewables contracts. Key customers including Statoil, ConocoPhillips, Perenco, Shell UK Limited and Oranje Nassau Energie (ONE) UK.
