Sparrows Group has been awarded a 20-month inspection services contract to cover Stena Drilling’s global fleet of drilling vessels.

The agreement will see Sparrows Group deliver LOLER lifting gear surveys, potential dropped objects surveys, cargo carrying unit and non-destructive testing inspections as well as rig specific maintenance.

Sparrows Group had previously held a similar contract with Stena for an eight-year period.

This latest contract with Stena Drilling comes shortly after Sparrows Group announced it had secured a five-year contract in the North Sea with Statoil. In March, the firm revealed it was to deliver cranes and maintenance services at the prestigious Mariner development.

Established originally in 1946, the Sparrows Group moved into the oil and gas market in 1975 and has more than 40 years’ experience working offshore.
