Aberdeen-based operator of remotely operated vehicles, ROVOP, has won contracts whose total worth is around $4 million, spanning across the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, and Europe.

The company said on Wednesday that the contracts are with clients across a number of sectors and include construction support, cable lay and protection, survey and inspection repair and maintenance (IRM).

The contracts are with clients in the oil and gas and offshore wind sectors.

CEO of ROVOP, Steven Gray, said: “As a result of these awards, we are increasing our offshore workforce across both Aberdeen and Houston.”

ROVOP also said that Greg Clark, the recently appointed Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, visited the company on Tuesday during his first visit to Aberdeen in his new role.

Gray said: “We were delighted to welcome the new Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Greg Clark to our Aberdeen facilities today, which allowed us to outline our full-service capabilities and briefly detail our key target markets in which we operate – oil and gas, offshore wind, telecoms and power transmission industries.”
