Applus wins Maersk contract worth ?7.5m
Inspection and testing specialist Applus RTD UK has secured its first contract with oil firm Maersk, worth more than £7.5 million over three years.
The Aberdeen-based group said the agreement, which includes options to extend, would see it provide non-destructive testing, ship repair and rope access services to three of Maersk Oil's North Sea facilities.
Dave Andrews, managing director of Applus RTD, formerly MB Inspection, said: "We're delighted to be working with Maersk Oil for the first time.
"The award of this contract underlines our ability to provide an integrated suite of inspection and integrity management services to North Sea operators.
"The nature and associated costs of working in high, difficult-to-access locations, requires that the majority of projects are completed using our specially-trained rope access technicians.
"Non-destructive testing is also a critical means for us to detect defects and is vital for the maintenance of all types of components and structures offshore."
Applus RTD has more than 350 staff in the UK at sites in Aberdeen, Falkirk, Great Yarmouth and on Teesside.
