Sparrows Group secures five-year deal with ADMA-OPCO
ABERDEEN, United Kingdom -- Sparrows Group has won a five-year deal with Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO) in the Middle East.
The successful retender through the company’s local partner, Abu Dhabi Oilfield Services, will see Sparrows Group providing the operations and maintenance support to all cranes and lifting equipment aboard offshore platforms and the Al Hyleh Barge in the UAE and Zirku Islands.
The agreement, which covers ADMA-OPCO’s offshore installations, the Umm Shaif Super Complex, Zakum West Super Complex and the Zakum Central Super Complex, is initially a three-year contract with the option for two one-year extensions.
“The work we have been contracted to do involves providing the total integrated management of cranes and other lifting equipment, which optimizes the performance and reliability of all safety critical lifting operations,” Stewart Mitchell, Sparrows Group CEO, said. “As well as providing offshore personnel, who are supported by our onshore staff in Abu Dhabi and worldwide, we will be supplying preventative maintenance, repair and refurbishment, spare parts, and comprehensive technical support.”
In addition to being experts in lifting and handling, Sparrows Group is a specialist in the provision of engineered products and services in cable and pipe lay and fluid power to the energy industry.
The firm has been expanding in the Middle East with bases in Abu Dhabi and Al Khor (Qatar), and recently opened new regional headquarters in Dubai. Sparrows Group has also formed a strategic partnership with the Zamil Group in Saudi Arabia recently.
