ATR Group has commenced work on a new 5-year contract supplying lifting equipment and regulatory inspection services to one of the UK’s largest oil producing companies.

The global equipment management company will manage the co-ordination and mobilisation of 10 rigging lofts to support operations across Nexen Petroleum U.K. Limited’s North Sea assets.

The contract, which has two one-year extension options, will also see ATR Group’s Lifting Solutions division provide inspection services to ensure the equipment, which includes wire rope slings, hoists, shackles and working at height apparatus, is certified to HSE Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998.

Business development director Dave Grant says, “We have a long and successful track record of managing and maintaining rigging lofts and associated lifting equipment to the highest global standards for companies in the North Sea and internationally. We are pleased to secure this new contract with Nexen. It will provide a great opportunity to fully demonstrate our strengths of providing experienced personnel, quality equipment and value-adding services to our clients and support them in delivering safe and robust operations in the North Sea.”
