ABERDEEN, UK– Stork Technical Services Subsea has invested more than £2 million ($3.2 million) in a new specialist dive intervention craft (IC) and full diving spread. The 15-ft (4.5-m) vessel, which is equipped with a bespoke diver recovery system and software-based dive management system, will be delivered in summer 2012.
The new air and nitrox diving spread will allow Stork Subsea to deliver its integrated offering, such as subsea inspection, repair and maintenance, survey and wet welding, from dive support vessels across the globe.
In February, the company won a $15.8-million contract to providesubsea inspection services offshore West Africa. To service the contract, Stork Subsea entered a 15-month charter of the DSV Adam’s Vision.
Roddy James, director of Stork Technical Services Subsea, said: “We are experiencing significant demand for our integrated diving services so it was the natural progression to invest in another intervention craft. It will increase our capacity and ability to service the global market, and we have already had enquiries for activity when the craft is delivered in the coming months."
