The five-year master services agreement will see Harland & Wolff manufacture highly specialised structures used in oil and gas platforms and surrounding infrastructure.

The first purchase order under the agreement, worth approximately £3 million, involves the fabrication of six subsea structures capable of withstanding immense pressures of 430 bar (6,235 psi), making them mission-critical components. These structures will be built over the next 18 months at the company’s Arnish site on the Isle of Lewis, with a staged delivery programme culminating in H1 2025.

John Wood, CEO of Harland & Wolff Group Holdings, said: “I am delighted that Arnish is recognised as a centre of excellence to deliver critical subsea infrastructure.

“This contract marks a significant step for the company and builds on the highly technical work the yard has already undertaken on suction anchors, piles and the work it is currently performing for the Sea Rose FPSO Contract

“These specialised subsea structures are a new product area for Harland & Wolff and we expect that successful delivery of this contract will open up significant opportunities for additional contracts in subsea infrastructure going forward.”
