Lamprell, a provider of diversified engineering and contracting services to the onshore and offshore oil & gas and renewable energy industries, has been awarded a major rig refurbishment contract by the Millennium Offshore Services group (MOS). The contract relates to the conversion of the ‘MOS Frontier’, a three-legged Type MLT116C jackup rig, and is valued at approximately USD 64M.
The rig is a multi-purpose jackup unit capable of operating in water depths of 300ft and it will be converted into an accommodation support vessel that can accommodate 290 personnel. The work on this project will be executed at the group’s Sharjah facility.
James Moffat, CEO, Lamprell, said “Lamprell has a well-established track record for undertaking major rig refurbishment projects and so it is pleasing that one of our existing clients has awarded us a new contract for one of the largest refurbishment and conversion projects in our history. Rig refurbishment remains an area of traditional strength for the group and it is encouraging to have been selected by MOS for this high profile project.”
