UK shipyard A&P Group is eyeing more work in the offshore renewables business after reporting a steady 2016 so far.
The company has said it has carried out repairs and mobilisation works to several jack-up vessels working in the offshore wind sector from its yards in Hebburn, Middlesbrough and Falmouth.
A&P also said it is on track to achieve a target of £90m turnover for the year.
Group managing director Andy Shaw said: “In addition to the complex defence projects we are delivering, we are also seeing a lot of enquiries from the offshore renewables sector, particularly for fabrication and jack up vessels.
“This sector is certainly ripe with opportunity and these projects make excellent use of our in-house knowledge, expertise and resource. It is A&P Group’s breadth of capability that underpins our continued and steady performance and we feel very encouraged as we look toward 2017.”
