Matt Crunden, Marketing Manager for Legrand’s cable management division, said: “This has been done with the dual intention of increasing specifications and placing our products in the right

shop windows in recognition of the industry’s shift to Building Information Modelling (BIM).” AVEVA is the world’s leading engineering software provider to the process plant, power and marine industries. Its AVEVA PDMS 3D design software delivers maximum productivity and capability on all types of plant projects, from the smallest upgrade to new build projects of unlimited size and complexity.

Bruce Douglas, AVEVA’s Senior Vice-President, EDS Strategy & Marketing, said: “Legrand is a

world leader in cable management and we are delighted to provide integration for its cable management solutions to AVEVA PDMS 12 series. “We are working hard to offer our customers greater access to industry standard components directly within PDMS, allowing them to use standard databases rather than being forced to create their own catalogues. This integration is further evidence of why PDMS is widely considered the most configurable 3D plant design solution for the process plant and power industries.”

Legrand goes 3D with AVEVALegrand’s Swifts IEC cable ladder, IEC cable tray, Salamandre distribution trunking and Cablofil wire mesh cable tray systems have been integrated into the industry leading AVEVA PDMS 3D design software.

The three year contract has the option for two one year extensions and will see Intertek provide offshore chemists full time for three of the operator’s assets, as well as a supporting team in the laboratory. Intertek will perform a variety of services for Maersk Oil UK from sample gathering and testing to monitoring process systems and chemical injection to support Maersk Oil UK North Sea operations. Raymond Pirie, vice president of Intertek’s global upstream business, said: “We are pleased to have secured the contract with Maersk Oil UK and look forward to supporting the company in its operations. Our provision of field

services is complemented by in-house scientists who have access to advanced instrumentation to respond to complex analytical challenges. Intertek’s laboratory supports the oil and gas value chain across its entirety, from reservoir to refinery.”Intertek has provided services to the oil and gas sector for more than 40 years from Aberdeen and has invested around £4.5 million in state-of-the art laboratories in its energy services hub. The First Minister of Scotland recently officially opened the Aberdeen headquarters of Intertek’s energy services operation, which is the base for its exploration and production support. It brings together a wide scope of expertise including: production and integrity assurance; hydrocarbon allocation; chemometric modelling; calibration and metering, consulting and training, dimensional control and environmental consultancy. More than 160 people are based in this building, and this could increase to up to 220 over the next three years.

Intertek secures £3 million contractIntertek, the global provider of quality and safety services, has secured work with Maersk Oil UK worth £3 million to provide offshore chemists and onshore laboratory analysis support.

Sean Girvan took up the post in October and today unveiled expansion plans, announcing that the company has completed the acquisition of Project Excellence LLP, a specialist project and risk management consultancy provider to the energy industry, which will now trade as a division of CSL known as CSL Project Excellence.

CSL has built its reputation on the management and delivery of subsea projects but has evolved to provide a fully integrated service offering that can cover the management, engineering, specialist services and resources requirement for a project from the development through execution to operational phases, they aim to deliver maximum value

for clients. The acquisition of Project Excellence represents a significant addition to the overall capabilities at CSL and further strengthens its offering to its client base.

Commenting on the acquisition, Sean Girvan, Managing Director, CSL said: “We have built up a strong reputation over the years through delivering successful projects – whether short or long-term - for our numerous and varied clients. The CSL Project Excellence team will be critical in driving the business forward as we look to grow the business further in order to continue delivering value to our clients.

“We are delighted to have not only acquired a company with the expertise of Project Excellence but also to have retained the highly skilled staff, who I’m sure will contribute greatly to our future success.

“I am especially pleased to welcome Dr Clive Randall and Mike Howard to the team. Their extensive experience will prove invaluable to CSL as we look to cement our position as a leading

provider to the energy industry.”All 25 staff from Project Excellence will transfer to CSL as part of the acquisition – bringing the total employed at CSL to almost 150, with another 60 expected to join this year.

Dr Clive Randall added: “We are delighted to be joining with CSL as this will enable us to grow by being able to offer an increased capability to clients in both consultancy and resources to develop, support and implement project management process, project controls process and risk management as well as key person resourcing, both long term and temporary, in these areas. We believe in the strategic fit between the companies and see a great opportunity to contribute to the growth of CSL’s core subsea projects business.”

CSL’s new managing director Sean Girvan joins the company having gained a broad experience of the oil and gas industry during a career spanning almost 25 years including recent spells at Petrofac and BG Group with experience in the North Sea, Australia, UAE, Africa and the Caspian. Mr Girvan

added: “Having spent six years working with CSL I am well aware of the company’s credentials. We have a lot to offer the energy industry but we have perhaps lacked the visibility within the marketplace that our recent

accomplishments deserve. I am determined to build on the recent successes of the organisation and am excited at the prospect of expanding what is already one of the leading providers to the oil and gas sector.”

New MD announces acquisition and bold growth strategy at CSLCSL, the Aberdeen-based subsea project delivery and management company, has appointed a new Managing Director who is developing and leading the company’s bold growth strategy, via a combination of organic growth and acquisition.

The 17-strong party represented global corporations and industry bodies including Petrobras, Prominp, Transpetro, CBO, ABENAV and SINAVAL. They were keen to explore the industry-leading FROG device and were strapped in to experience first hand the security and safety offered by the protective apparatus.

Representatives of UK Trade and Investment Brazil, which was instrumental in organising the visit in conjunction with the Brazilian Government, accompanied the delegates during their visit to Aberdeen. Carol Richards, Sales Consultant – South America for Reflex Marine, said: “Safety is critical to the success of energy projects around the world and attracting such an influential delegation from Brazil – one of the world’s fastest growing markets – is obviously an exciting

development. It was a great opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of our products. “We are particularly pleased to have a long-standing agreement with local company Sparrows BSM, who have been instrumental in providing maintenance, re-certification and servicing for all FROG units in Brazil. “Traditional rope baskets are still used within the Brazilian energy industry however improving the safety of operations, by using a device like the FROG, has clearly captured the imagination. There seems to be a greater appreciation of the fact that it can prevent injury through lateral or vertical impacts and can act as a flotation device if immersed in water.” The FROG and TORO (Reflex Marine’s other transfer device) were designed to greatly reduce

the risk to passengers during transfer, after the company analysed incidents of injury occurring during rope basket operations. Seat belts reduce the risk of falling from the basket – the cause of half of all injuries using rope basket, while a protective frame and shock absorbing seats reduce the risk of injury through lateral impacts (accounting for 35% of injuries) or vertical impacts (22%). Reflex Marine is currently working with the Brazilian Navy to gain accreditation for the FROG to operate on board vessels registered in the country, although several operators have already put the device to use using foreign ships. During the visit, UK Trade and Investment’s marine sector manager for Brazil, Paula Abreu said: “It was a great opportunity for the delegation to actually see how safe transfers can be made using a TORO or a FROG. I believe the device revolutionises the way transfers can be made in such a safe and professional way.”

Aberdeen City Council was also heavily involved, not only in the organisation of the event but also in attending the demonstration.

Reflex Marine hosts influential Brazilian delegation in AberdeenReflex Marine, a global leader in safe marine transfer solutions, hosted a prestigious delegation from Brazil’s burgeoning energy industry. The visit to Woollard and Henry in Aberdeen, which acts as a construction base for the company’s specialist crew transfer equipment, was a great success despite the sub-zero temperatures.

“We are excited to be welcoming Julian and Alastair to the firm,” said Bracewell Managing Partner, Mark C. Evans. “It is important for us to be able to serve our clients in all areas of the globe in which they do business. London is a key jumping off point. I foresee significantly more attorney growth for us in London over the next 12 to 18 months,” added Evans. It is anticipated that Nichol will join the firm in March and Young will join the firm in April 2013. Julian Nichol (formerly a partner at Simmons & Simmons) has a wide range of experience advising on project development and financings as well as M&A work in the power, oil and gas and mining sectors with a particular focus on transactions

in Africa and the Middle East. He recently advised AES Corp on the successful financing of the Dibamba and Kribi power projects in Cameroon. Alastair Young (formerly of Herbert Smith Freehills) is an energy corporate lawyer focusing on cross border oil & gas M&A, joint venturers, project development, and regulatory matters. He has acted on energy transactions in Europe, South America, South East Asia and Africa. “Our firm is a top global energy firm, adding this experience to the London office was a natural fit,” said Partner Rudolph W. Giuliani. “With so much business flowing through London to Africa and the Middle East, we have tremendous opportunities to better serve our existing clients and will continue to build the team here,” added Giuliani. “Bracewell has a very impressive energy client base and we are excited to be part of the firm. Our presence in the London office will enable Bracewell to offer its clients an enhanced English law capability especially in the energy sector, and increased coverage of key energy markets,” said Julian Nichol. Over the coming months Bracewell plans further growth

for the London office at both the associate and partner level. Additional attorneys will focus on the energy sector, as well as other practices that support the firm’s energy client base. Bracewell’s energy attorneys have achieved top rankings from Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 as a recognized energy practice. The firm was ranked in the top 25 globally by Thomson Reuters in its 2012 Global Mergers & Acquisitions Review based on aggregate dollar value of worldwide deals.

The Financial Times recognized Bracewell in its U.S. Innovative Lawyers report, in the category of Most Innovative U.S. Law Firms: Business of Law 2012. The firm’s London office is located in the centre of the world’s financial and capital markets. It works closely with other Bracewell offices, particularly those in New York, Dubai and Houston, to provide English, U.S. and local law services to clients across the Americas, Europe, Africa and Middle East.

The primary focus of the London office’s practice is international finance, projects, mergers and acquisitions, and other transactional work, particularly for clients active in the energy sector.

Energy Duo Added to Bracewell & Giuliani’s London OfficeTwo Partners Joining OfficeBracewell & Giuliani LLP announced today that it is adding energy Partners Julian Nichol and Alastair Young to its London office. Nichol will serve as the office’s managing partner. These additions will serve to expand and enhance Bracewell’s globally recognized energy practice.

Complete packageThe pile guiding tool is part of an extensive package of advanced handling and lifting equipment that was supplied by IHC Handling Systems. The complete order consists, next to the pile guiding tool, of a 700t upending tool and accompanying hydraulic power packs.

The equipment is being used on the Meerwind offshore wind farm project in the German North Sea.The monopiles – which are essential for the foundation of windmills – are lifted and positioned by the equipment more efficiently than they were previously. Indeed, 25 monopiles have been successfully installed since September last year.

Installation processThe foundation of the wind turbines in the Meerwind offshore wind farm project consists of a monopile and transition piece. The monopiles have an outer diameter of 5,500mm, an overall length of 64m and a maximum weight of 680t. The transition

piece connects the monopile to the mast of the wind turbine.The new pile guiding tool has replaced the commonly used ‘upending bucket’ and ‘guiding and positioning tool’ by combining two operations – tilting and positioning – into one piece of equipment. In doing so, it saves valuable time during the installation process. In addition, less deck space is required and the tool is much lighter than the current equipment.

Joint effort by IHC MerwedeThe new IHC Handling Systems’ tool was produced in conjunction with several sister companies, including: IHC Vremac Cylinders, which supplied the cylinders; IHC Winches, where the assembly and testing took place. And above all, the piling specialist IHC Hydrohammer®, which supplied the S-2000 hydraulic hammer for driving the monopiles.

Company profile IHCMerwede IHC Merwede is focussed on

the continuous development of design and construction activities for the specialist maritime sector. It is the global market leader for efficient dredging and mining vessels and equipment – with vast experience accumulated over decades – and a reliable supplier of custom-built ships and supplies for offshore construction. IHC Merwede has in-house expertise for engineering and manufacturing innovative vessels and advanced equipment, as well as providing life-cycle support. Its integrated systematic approach has helped to develop optimum product performance and long-term business partnerships.

The company’s broad customer base includes dredging operators, oil and gas corporations, offshore contractors and government authorities. IHC Merwede has over 3,000 employees based at various locations in The Netherlands, Brazil, China, Croatia, France, India, Malaysia, the Middle East, Nigeria, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Technological innovation will remain the company’s underlying strength through its continuous investment in research and development. Moreover, it helps to safeguard a sustainable environment.

IHC Handling Systems delivers innovative pile guiding tool to SeajacksIHC Handling Systems, part of IHC Merwede, has delivered a pile guiding tool for the installation of 80 wind turbine foundations at sea. This innovative tool was designed and constructed by IHC Handling Systems, and then installed on board Seajacks’ new jack-up vessel, ZARATAN, in autumn 2012. The company was awarded the contract on the strength of its vast expertise and experience in the offshore market.

The company saw significant demand for a range of its services in the region, particularly its Drill Stem Testing (DST) and Meters offerings, and has a healthy order book for next year. It also anticipates enhanced activity for its Early Production Facilities (EPF) business in the year ahead.

Expro introduced its DST capabilities into the Middle East in 2012 and secured six contracts for production testing in Egypt, with further activity in Iraq. Iraq has also proved to be a successful market for its Meters services and the company will look to expand this section of the business into Libya, Algeria and Saudi Arabia in 2013.

To ensure a high quality of service, Expro has also continued to invest significantly in its core well testing business in line with increased opportunities as well as expand its wireline intervention capabilities.

Hussein Elsisi, Business Development Manager for Middle East and North Africa, said: “We are seeing a healthy growth in our DST activity in the Middle East as more and more companies recognise the benefits of working with a company that offers the complete well test package with some of the industry’s most reliable technologies, including

our multi-function and single cycle cased hole tools for well testing.

“Our Meters business offers on-demand, cost-effective, non-intrusive flow meters and measurement services for individual well, flowline and overall field production surveillance. These solutions enable customers to realise increased value from their wells and fields through improved production monitoring, optimisation of well performance, increased efficiency and reduced metering costs – all with reduced health, safety and environmental exposure.

“Our EPF solutions provide customers with the ability to bring new developments on stream quickly ahead of permanent facilities being installed and therefore offer significant cost and operational benefits. We have an established track record for the delivery of EPF projects in unrivalled timescales and anticipate growth for this business in the Middle East in 2013.

“Wherever we operate we are able to provide local expertise to solve a particular problem, backed by the international support of Expro’s global offering, to ensure our customers receive the appropriate technological and on the ground solutions to meet their requirements.

“Our recent growth in the Middle East has been entirely in line with our plans to date, and we are extremely excited by the opportunities that 2013 will offer us.”

The corporate finance advisers to the energy sector have played a significant role in many of the most prominent transactions that took place across the oil and gas service sector in 2012 including deals subsea, well services, drilling and completions sectors. Colin Welsh, chief executive officer at Simmons said: "Getting the best result for our clients in the current environment has been challenging because the market dynamics keep changing as new buyers emerge and the sector

becomes more geographically diverse. It helps that we focus exclusively on energy because our market intelligence is always current". In the subsea sector, the sale of Acteon to KKR and the divestment of GustoMSC by SBM to Parcom Capital were prominent deals. Significant transactions in technology included the sales of Zenith, Red Spider Technology, Petrowell and Nessco to Lufkin, Halliburton, Weatherford and Rignet Inc. respectively. On the buy side, Simmons represented Tetra Technologies Inc in its acquisition of Aberdeen based rig cooling specialists Optima and assisted Pheonix Equity Partners in their acquisition of Gall Thomson Environmental in the flow control sector. Mr Welsh added: "The industry is undergoing an incredible amount of change and growth and we need to keep on top of that and respond appropriately if we are to continue to be entrusted with mandates like these and deliver results that are at the top end of our clients’ expectations".

The small design of the protective sleeve enables optimised mounting of the sensors and the insulation above them, even on pipelines with a small nominal width. The thermowell material is aluminium, which provides the best

possible thermal transfer from the medium to the measuring element. For measuring elements, the choice is between Pt1000 and Pt100, in addition to NTCs and other customer-specific solutions.

The connection cables, from silicone or PVC, are assembled in customer-specific lengths. The strap-on temperature sensor is the ideal solution for your temperature control in the renewable energies, HVAC and refrigeration technology sectors.

We are proud to present the new

SeaWind suit which is tailored

specifically for the emerging offshore

windmill industry and rope access

technique workers.

Main goals in the design and

development process has been to meet

the requirements of the demanding

personnel performing the maintenance

and inspection work on the offshore wind

mills. In this process we have also seen

that many of the same requirements are

valid also for workers exposed to tough

and risky environments on offshore oil

installations.

In the process we have evaluated the

normal work procedures in close

cooperation with personnel engaged the

wind farm industry and rope access

technique workers. Good knowledge of

the actual work situation has put us in the

position to develop a construction with a

balanced combination of functionality

and safety.

Hansen Protection AS is the direct continuance of Helly Hansen PRO AS. Our history dates back many years. Helly Juell Hansen founded his original

"Impregnated clothing and tarpaulin factory" in Moss in 1877. Thus the foundation for the development and core business of Hansen Protection AS was

laid. Hansen Protection is a high-technology company that over the years has developed some of the most advanced survival & immersion suits available

for protecting lives - at or in the sea. More than 250 000 suits have been exported to more than 20 countries throughout the world.

NEWS!

Hansen Protection launch

It has been important for us

that the suit should be easy to

wear and thus be worn at all

times as a coverall to

improve efficiency and

convenience for the user.

Further on, the suit is

optimised to be worn

together with

necessary safety

equipment as seat-

and fall arrest-

harnesses. In line

with this direction, -

we are developing an

inflatable lifejacket

which may be integrated

with the harness without

preventing normal

movement patterns.

Hansen Protection put

emphasis on an attractive

design.

However design should

always be deflected from

the function.

Key features built into the SeaWind suit to

meet these requirements are:

Ergonomy – pre-shaped construction

with 100% freedom of movement

Breathability – durable fabrics

with highly breathable

properties from GoreTex

Lightweight – made as a

shell product to reduce

weight

Ventilation – waterproof pit-zips

(underarm-zips) to enhance

ventilation in controlled situations

Waterproof zip in collar for easy

donning

Pockets – roomy pockets

constructed with mesh to

enhance the breathable

properties of the fabric and

placed where they are of no hindrance

to normal movement

Gloves and hood in neoprene, lifting

becket and pen-pocket

For easy integration with safety

equipment as harnesses and SeaLion

lifejackets, the suit is “clean” on both

chest and back

The suit fulfils the requirements of the

IMO/Solas LSA code, as a 1 hour

immersion suit without internal

buoyancy, and as a Constant wear suit

according to ISO 15027-1 (Class D)

The SeaWind suit is the first generation of

new work suits from Hansen Protection

and serves as a basis for the next models

under development. In the pipeline we

have a SeaWork model made in a heavy

duty oxford/nylon with integrated hard-

toe boots and with the possibility to

integrate an inner lining with insulation

24/7/365The Clipper Stad Amsterdam, jointly owned by the city of Amsterdam and HR agency Randstad, has been used extremely intensive since her commissioning almost thirteen years ago, explains

Roland Berendsen, managing director of shipping company Clipper Stad Amsterdam. “The vessel sails without interruption 365 days a year over the oceans. Sea, sun, salt and wind have left their traces. Next to an annual regular maintenance period, we’ve chosen one big, radical revamp giving the vessel a second youth. Hereafter she sails again for ten to fifteen years.’’

Thirteen years ago Damen was closely involved in the finishing of the Clipper, delivering the hull at its yard Oranjewerf in Amsterdam.

“That makes it especially nice that we were asked for this revamp,” says Bas Loohuis, Commercial Manager for Damen Shiprepair & Conversion.

Berendsen praises the cooperation with Damen. ,,We’re just a small shipping company with only one vessel and thus a very small staff. Thanks to the cooperation of the yard we only need limited extra expertise for this job.’’

Scope of WorkThe removal of the Clipper’s interior has already resulted in 175 ton of waste. The 123 ton of ballast lead will be taken off the ship also. Then the hull of the Stad Amsterdam is blasted en conserved. Also some of the hull sheets will be renewed.In the next phase the Clipper is loaded on a barge, lifted out of the

water and is placed in the well-equipped production hall. There the reconstruction will start, including the renewal of almost all pipes and wiring. At the same time the boarding of the superstructure will be renewed.

Originally the boarding were glued on the superstructure, but that has caused difficulty with maintenance. The new boarding will be mounted with some clearance onto the superstructure for proper ventilation.

During the revamp only the three steel lower masts will stay in place. The top masts and spars will be removed, maintained and replaced. All standing rigging wires will be renewed. The navigation bridge and Chartroom is redesigned and gets the latest equipment. Below

deck crew mess and office are redesigned as well. Extra storage will be created by redesigning two cabins.

Robin Juranek, Project Manager for Damen Shiprepair adds: “The planning for this job is a great challenge. The ship will move over our yard. That requires a strict alignment of all involved. For those jobs which we’re not used to, for instant the finishing of the accommodation, we can call for our colleagues of the nearby super yacht yard Amels, also a member of the Damen Shipyards Group.’’

The renewed Clipper Stad Amsterdam will make sea trials mid May 2013, according to planning. On June 1st the vessel will set sail for Rouen, France.

‘Second youth’ for Clipper Stad Amsterdam

The three-masted, steel-hulled Clipper ‘Stad Amsterdam’ undergoes a complete overhaul at Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen, the Netherlands. The revision of the thirteen year old vessel will give her a ‘second youth’. The work will be finished before the end of May 2013.

Fairmount tugs deliver Tamar jacket in Mediterranean Sea

The 18,500 ton jacket was build in the US. In Corpus Christi the jacket was loaded on the 260 meters long barge H-851, world’s largest launch and

cargo barge owned by Heerema Marine Contractors. Fairmount Marine, part of the Louis Dreyfus Armateurs Group, was contracted by Heerema Marine Contractors

and mobilized the tugs Fairmount Summit and Fairmount Alpine to Corpus Christi. From this port the convoy set sall for the 9,000 miles voyage.

It took only 54 days at an average speed of 6.9 knots to deliver te barge in the Tamar field. Upon arrival the Fairmount Summit and Fairmount Alpine assisted in the launching and installation

operations. The Tamar gas field is classified as the largest deepwater natural gas discovery in 2009. Production is expected to start in the second quarter of this year.

After launching the Tamar jacket Fairmount Alpine was released and went on to her next assignment. Fairmount Summit continued with barge-H-581 for a 5,150 miles voyage towards the Far East.

Fairmount Marine is a marine contractor for ocean towage and heavy lift transportation, headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Fairmount’s fleet of tugs consists of five modern super tugs of 205 tons bollard pull each, especially designed for long distance towing, and a multipurpose support vessel.Fairmount Marine is part of Louis Dreyfus Armateurs Group.

Tugs Fairmount Summit and Fairmount Alpine have delivered the new build Noble Tamar jacket at location in the Tamar gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean. Both tugs towed the barge on which the jacket was loaded from te US to the field South-East of Cyprus.

Soft Rope Traction Winch - CASE: Shell Perdido Spar PlatformWhen Shell was designing the Perdido Spar platform’s subsea asset deployment and retrieval system, it faced a problem: at water depths over 8,000 feet, a traditional wire rope drum winch system would be too heavy for the platform on which it was to rest. A revolutionary new winch/rope system was needed.

The Perdido Spar, operated by Shell on behalf of partners BP and Chevron, is part of the world’s deepest oil production facility. It is the most remote producing platform in the Gulf

of Mexico, almost 220 miles off the coast of Texas, and the only development in the region to use subsea separation and boosting equipment. The development features 22 wells and 13 more well tie-backs, which must be changed out and serviced at regular intervals. Rather than deploying offshore service vessels to the remote development at great expense, the Perdido Spar’s design includes a winch system allowing the platform to service the subsea equipment itself. However, operating in nearly 9,000 feet of water while handling payloads of up to 90,000 pounds can be a challenge. Compounding the problem, the Perdido Spar design places the winch on a cantilevered deck (a smaller deck extending out from the main platform) imposing significant weight restrictions.A traditional steel wire rope of this length would be prohibitively heavy. Weighing 81,750 pounds, it would double the necessary lifting capacity of the winch. This would in turn increase the size of the winch and cause significant structural modifications to the spar.

Shell turned to Logan Industries for a simple, yet unique traction-style winch design and to Samson for its expertise in high-strength, lightweight synthetics This combination met the weight and footprint restrictions of the cantilevered deck and was more than capable of performing the subsea operations. Samson provided 9,200 feet of 2-1/2" diameter Quantum-12 rope. Weighing 85% less than a wire rope of similar size and length, this greatly reduced the deck weight. The biggest advantage, however, is that Quantum-12 is neutrally buoyant and adds no weight to the payload. This allows the winch to work at full capacity regardless of depth.

Timely action Already in the beginning of 2011 Atlas Services Group asked classification society ´Bureau Veritas´ to audit by meaning of a pre qualification. Based on the gap analysis that was made Atlas Services Group

changed some of the procedures and reviewed and adjusted employment contracts. “We did this in order to be able to show our clients that we would be compliant with MLC on time. Now we are pleased to say we are one of the first Dutch crewing agencies to become certified”, says Mr. Steeghs, manager of Atlas Services Group Marine.

Bundling“Before there were 37 separate regulations. These are all bundled within the MLC. This convention provides clarity, but also creates better control capabilities”, says Mr. Middelbeek, auditor with Bureau Veritas. Mrs. R. Verdoes, corporate lawyer with Atlas Services Group, adds: “What’s new is the legal basis. Before, most regulations

were nothing more than guidelines. This development will be more beneficial for the living and working conditions of seafarers and that’s what it’s all about.”

Consult with Atlas Services GroupIn The Netherlands so far 15 percent of the vessels has been certified, according to Middelbeek. Also not all crewing agencies are ready to go for qualification at this moment. “A lot of parties are currently in the process, which is necessary, because time is running out”, says Middelbeek. Mr. Steeghs of Atlas Services Group, says: “It takes some time, but eventually everyone benefits. We are more than happy to advice companies who wonder what the best methods are to

meet the requirements. Logistic issues concerning contracts and collective employment

agreements for example, are things that we can perfectly solve together.”

As from the 20th of August the MLC will enter into force worldwide. Atlas Services Group, an international leading recruitment company, is one of the first crewing agencies in The Netherlands to be issued with a Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) certificate.

Mr. W. Middelbeek, auditor Bureau Veritas, hands the MLC-certificate to Mr. P. Steeghs, manager Atlas Services Group Marine and Mrs. R. Verdoes, corporate lawyer Atlas Services Group B.V.

Mr Svensen has more than 22 years’ experience in the upstream oil and gas sector and previously held senior management positions within a number of Norwegian oil and gas service companies.

Responsible for managing the implementation of TWMA’s growth strategy for the region, Svensen will play a key role in the further development of the company’s Stavanger and Mongstad bases.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Svensen said: “Some of the largest operators within the industry have major interests in Norway and the Scandinavia region. As demand for TWMA’s solutions continues to grow, it is important

that we continue to deliver the quality service for which we are known, providing operators with a complete solutions package.”

TWMA currently employs 30 people at its recently improved Stavanger and Mongstad bases, supplying onshore processing, slops treatment and support services for skip and ship operations in the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

TWMA’s sales director Rob O’Neill adds: “Norway is a key strategic region for TWMA. We have recently increased the capacity at our Mongstad base and this means that we are perfectly placed to provide Norwegian operators with solutions that are both cost-

effective and environmentally sustainable. Looking forward, we are also working alongside various operators and industry associations to potentially introduce offshore processing to the NCS region. “Svensen’s experience will be key as we continue to develop and grow this important market.”

TWMA is currently working with the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association (Norsk Olje & Gass) as part of a steering group to coordinate efforts by operators to outline and implement recognised protocols for handling and treating waste materials associated with drilling operations offshore on the NCS.

The increase highlights the continued importance of Aberdeen Harbour to the energy sector operating in the UK Continental Shelf, as well as general commercial traffic, with the total tonnage of cargo also up almost 8 per cent from 4.76million tonnes in 2011 to 5.14million tonnes in 2012.

In addition to larger tonnages and cargo throughput, the overall number of vessels entering the port also grew, from 7,784 in 2011 to 8,142 in 2012 and included a number of vessels entering the port for the first time following the completion of a £5.2million project to widen and deepen the navigation channel.

Colin Parker, chief executive of Aberdeen Harbour Board, said: “We continue to see significant year on year increases in vessel

numbers and cargo throughput, which underpins the important role Aberdeen Harbour plays as a key strategic resource to offshore activity in the North Sea and wider international energy sector. We have also seen an increase in general commercial traffic to international locations such as Norway, Russia and Africa.

“It is also clear that our decision to widen and deepen the navigation channel has had a positive impact on our business and highlights our commitment to ensure that our customers and continue to receive a world class service.”

In order to respond to growing demand for space and services, Aberdeen Harbour Board has submitted an application as a candidate to the Scottish Government’s National Planning Framework review. In support of this the Board have produced their Directions for Growth document which outlines the findings from an ongoing feasibility study, which was launched in September last year, to assess the viability of potential expansion options for a new or improved harbour facility.

The identification of possible sites and the emergence of a potentially preferred site in Nigg Bay or the continued development of the existing harbour, will be subject to additional analysis including traffic modelling and environmental appraisal.

“Any future development of the port will require a robust business case, however, Aberdeen Harbour is a key regional resource that generates more than £500million for the North East economy annually,” adds Mr. Parker.

“Potential development opportunities will help safeguard the port and the city’s position within the energy industry, ensuring the harbour is equipped to accommodate the growth in activity anticipated in the years to come.

“Development of current port facilities has allowed us to accommodate larger vessels, so with this and increasing traffic projected, enhancing facilities will ensure Aberdeen continues to meet the needs of customers while attracting new business to the North East of Scotland.”

Continued growth in traffic highlights regional importance of Aberdeen harbourAberdeen Harbour recorded significant growth in activity throughout 2012 with total vessel tonnage for the year increasing by more than eight per cent, from nearly 26million tonnes to just over 28million tonnes.
