Fabricator Lamprell is eying further contracts in the offshore wind sector for projects in the North and Baltic seas.
The UAE-based outfit said it is chasing further renewables work as a “strategic priority” to diversify its offering as the slowdown in the oil and gas sector continues.
Lamprell has been asked to bid on more contracts since securing a jacket fabrication deal at ScottishPower Renewables’ 714MW East Anglia 1 project in the UK, it said.
Fabrication of 36 jacket foundations for the EA1 wind farm is meanwhile underway, the company said.
It is shipping steel for a further 24 jackets for assembly at Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Overall, Lamprell reported net profit of $1.1m in interim results for the first six months of 2017, compared with a $4.4m loss in the same period in 2016.
Revenue of just under $160m, down from $451m in the first half last year, was “broadly in line” with expectations, it said.
