Rigmar awarded multi million pound contract with Transocean
Following a competitive tender, oil giant Transocean, has awarded Rigmar with a multi million pound shipyard services contract to complete works on the Galaxy II. Under this contract, Rigmar – an international single source provider of support services – will draw on the experience of its engineering and design, access, blasting and painting, construction, fabrication, resource management and inspection divisions. The project is expected to last approximately 68 days and will take place at Rigmar’s fabrication facility in Dundee. Robert Dalziel, Managing Director of Rigmar, said this contract is the largest of its size secured by the rig repair division: ‘To secure a contract of this magnitude with a respected company such as Transocean, demonstrates our growing reputation within the industry for delivering the highest standard of service. ‘Over the past 24 months, Rigmar has invested significantly in our offering to ensure we are well placed to meet the needs of this rapidly growing market and further demonstrate our commitment to develop our business in Tayside. ‘Through the acquisition of Riverside Engineering – recently rebranded Rigmar Fabrication – we have strengthened our position within the subsea, onshore IRM, offshore IRM and renewable industry.
