Dutch group adds Aberdeen to electrical engineering support network

The Aberdeen office, due to start operations on 25 April, supplements Imetch’s other UK locations In Newcastle and Glasgow, and brings Imtech Marine’s total number of service and outfitting centres to 89 worldwide.

Tom Simpson, managing director of Imtech Marine UK, says: “Imtech Marine is expanding its involvement in the offshore industry by launching a new Aberdeen office to provide vessel and platform operators with a wider choice of services both in port as well as on the spot. We are in a unique position to provide services that are independent and multicard. Vessel owners and operators can rely on rapid, efficient response and the security of on-going, cost-effective support.”

The new office will be a base for a team of engineers offering in-house and on-site engineering support for dry docking, new builds and conversions. In addition to providing services on a project only basis, Imtech Marine will offer managed services agreements which cover both preventive and breakdown maintenance. This is in line with the company’s strategy to offer life cycle management partnership, aiming to help ship owners reduce the total cost of ownership.
