Vroon wins multi-million deal with oil major BP

Vroon Offshore Services Aberdeen has been awarded a “multi-million-pound” contract with oil major BP.

Under the agreement, Vroon will provide emergency response and rescue vessels (ERRVS) to support the group’s ongoing and future operations in the North Sea and west of Shetland.

The contract is for an initial two years with the option to extend that to five.

Five purpose-built ERRVS from Vroon’s fleet of 40 vessels will provide the service to BP. They are the VOS Fabulous, Vigilant, Innovator, Discovery and Fairness.

Craig Harvie, managing director of Vroon Offshore Services Aberdeen, said: “The award of this major contract strengthens our relationship with BP with whom we have worked for many years.

“The significant investment in our fleet in recent years has cemented our position as a market leader in the UK Continental Shelf and the Irish Sea.”

With facilities in Montrose and Great Yarmouth, Vroon employs 50 onshore and 1,000 seafarers.
