Global Marine secured a contract to provide personnel and equipment that will support the delivery of a submarine fibre optic link between North Sea platforms on behalf of client, Subsea 7, and end user BP.

Global Marine will be providing jointing personnel to work with Subsea 7 in delivering platform-to-platform connectivity from the existing Clair platform, 50 miles west of the Shetland Isles, in the North Sea, to the new Clair Ridge platform.

The team will work aboard Subsea 7’s Seven Falcon.

“We are delighted to be working for Subsea 7, and ultimately BP, the continued recognition of our knowledge and capabilities by major players in the industry is a great reflection on Global Marine’s journey in subsea engineering,” says Nicola Broom, Director, Sales & Commercial at Global Marine. “At Global Marine we have a long and rich history in submarine cable installation and maintenance and we look forward to applying these skills to complete the Clair Ridge project. To do this we will utilise one of our core strengths, our highly trained and experienced staff.”
