New contracts and senior appointments for ROVOP in 2013.

Thursday, February 7, 2013

ROVOP has made a strong start to 2013 after expanding its management team and signing £3.5 million of contracts in January.

The company, which provides subsea remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services, has bolstered its management team with the appointment of Moray Melhuish as commercial director, and strengthened its onshore resource by welcoming Mike Duffus as project manager.

ROVOP is taking delivery this week of one of its new work class ROVs. The 150hp Schilling HD can operate at depths of up to 3000metres and will be displayed at the Subsea 2013 conference before immediate deployment on-board a customer's specialised flexible lay vessel.

The company's recent achievements, across both oil & gas and offshore wind, come on the back of a busy 2012 during which ROVOP supported a variety of operations including an oil & gas pipeline stabilisation project in Norway, jack-up operations, cable lay, survey and dredging in the North Sea.

Mr Melhuish takes up his role following two years as sales manager with Subsea 7. Prior to his appointment he held senior positions within subsea equipment and services group Forum Energy Technologies and service specialist Score Group plc.

Joining ROVOP from Bibby Remote Intervention, Mr Duffus brings with him over 30 years of subsea service experience. Commencing his career in 1975 as a diver, Mr Duffus became an ROV pilot technician in 1989 before becoming project manager with Neptune Marine Services and Hallin Marine.

Headquartered in Westhill, Aberdeen, a global centre of excellence in subsea engineering, ROVOP has benefitted from investment and support provided by the Scottish Loan Fund, RBS and Scottish Enterprise which has enabled it to focus on sustainable international growth built on quality personnel, equipment and systems.
