The five-year contract has two-year extension options.

Sparrows CEO Stewart Mitchell said: “This new five-year contract is in addition to the inspection services work, which we were awarded by the operator two years ago, demonstrating the high-quality service we have delivered to ensure safe and efficient operations.

“Although we have been diversifying into the renewables and onshore industrial markets in recent years, the North Sea remains a core area in the business, so we’re pleased to continue working with the operator across these assets.”
