JDR has signed a framework agreement
with Bibby Offshore for cable maintenance
activities.
Under the strategic alliance, JDR will
provide cable maintenance services
and offshore personnel, including high
voltage and fiber optic cable jointers, and
associated competency systems. Bibby
Offshore will deliver project management
and engineering services in addition to a
marine vessel with equipment for on-deck
cable handling, storage carousel or reels.
It will also provide cable-lay and subsea
equipment for lifting, excavation and burial
of cables.
The agreement was signed during the
opening day of the Global Offshore Wind
2016 conference and exhibition in the UK.
JDRCEODavidCurrie said: “This agreement
is an example of JDR’s expanding range
of services to the global energy industry.
Our technicians are highly experienced in
offshore construction activities and we are
delighted to partner with Bibby Offshore for
future cable maintenance tenders.”
Bibby Offshore’s MD, Barry MacLeod,
added: “This agreement builds upon our
recently announced cooperation with
Ecosse Subsea Ltd and is a further example
of the collaborative approach that we are
bringing to our offshore energy clients. Our
ability to rapidly mobilize a marine cable
repair vessel and spread in support of highly
skilled JDR technicians will differentiate our
service.”
