Stork wins £10m African contract

Stork Technical Services has won a £10 million contract to carry out subsea inspections for an oil and gas driller off the west coast of Africa.

About 60 members of staff from the Aberdeen-based firm – which was re-branded last week following last year’s takeover of RBG by Netherlands-based Stork – will be involved in the project, which is the company’s first in the region. The firm has hired Adam’s Vision, a specialist diver support vessel, for the contract.

The deal will be unveiled today at Subsea 2012 in Aberdeen, one of the biggest conferences of its kind.
