Beck Engineering is finalising its first major subsea order in May 2008 for SeaBed Geophysical AS. Beck Engineering deliverables include an ROV-tool and auxillary equipment for M/V Hugin Explorer, plus a shallow water deployment rig to be delivered later this year . The total order-value is between NOK 4.5 and 5 million.
”It’s been our main strategic goal since 2006 to provide subsea solutions along our already established portfolio of remote intervention projects”, explains managing director Eystein Hanssen. ”We are greatful for SeaBed’s selection of Beck Engineering as sub-contractor on this project, as it clearly positions us to provide bigger and more complex subsea solutions.”
The full package is expected to operate from June 2008.
