Decommissioning opportunities
Decom North Sea (DNS), the offshore oil & gas decommissioning forum, is staging a learning journey to explore future offshore decommissioning opportunities in Shetland.
The visit is taking place on 9 and 10 May to help members understand what Shetland can offer the offshore decommissioning industry and to identify opportunities for future collaborations and partnerships.
DNS chief executive Brian Nixon said: “Shetland is likely to play a key role in future offshore decommissioning projects due to its location in the crossroads of the North Sea and the Atlantic.
“Lerwick is positioning itself as a centre of excellence in decommissioning, marine support and logistics due to having a comprehensive portfolio of benefits such as proven capability, experienced contractors and workforce, sheltered very deep water and excellent shipping links with the mainland.”
Visits and meetings are being organised with Lerwick Port Authority, Peterson SBS, Veolia Environmental Services, AF Decom, the Energy Recovery Plant, ZE1 Global and the NAFC Marine Centre.
DNS has grown since its inception in 2010, to have nearly 200 members.
