Aberdeen-based dive consultancy, DiveSource, has secured a master service agreement with an unnamed UK North Sea operator for the provision of company subsea representatives and consulting services.

The contract is for three years with two optional one-year extensions.

The award of the contract has allowed DiveSource to expand its team, with the core team based in Aberdeen due to double in Q1 in 2018 and the pool of active contractors reaching 120, the company said.

Sarah Hutcheon, managing director, said, “The award of a contract of this size and value means that the future of the company is extremely positive in what remains a challenging market. It has given us the confidence to grow our core team within Aberdeen and our staff levels will have more than doubled by the end of Q1 next year.”
