Vessel maintenance and standby
Two TechnipFMC Diving Support Vessels (DSVs) utilised the new Aberdeen South Harbour early in 2023. One vessel was in for her winter maintenance period and the other for a standby period. TechnipFMC was very satisfied with the port facilities and overall experience. The proximity to its office, client base and supply chain was extremely convenient. It meant the company was able to facilitate a number of value-adding engagement visits to both vessels.
“Based on this good experience, we plan to further use the Aberdeen South Harbour on an ongoing basis. It promises to be a tremendous asset to the Aberdeen area.”
