International offshore accommodation specialists Ferguson Modular, part of the Ferguson Group, has announced it has won contracts amounting to more than £1million to serve the renewable energy industry, including a major contract award from Subocean Group.
The company has been awarded a two-year contract for the provision of a 48 persons on board (POB) accommodation block for the Subocean Discoverer barge. It is the second major contract awarded to Ferguson Modular by Subocean and follows the successful delivery of a 48 POB complex for the UR 101 barge in 2007.
The complex for the Subocean Discoverer will consist of twelve 10.3m accommodation modules plus additional stores, galley, mess, recreation, office, laundry and locker facilities. The barge will operate in European waters, primarily working on various wind farm projects around the UK.
Gary Wilson, director of business development with Ferguson Modular said: "We are very pleased to be continuing our working relationship with Subocean. The award of these contracts proves that our level of service and quality of our products continues to meet our client's high standards.
The Ferguson Group has invested heavily in developing the fleet of accommodation and containers available to our customers with a further £60million investment planned across our divisions over the next three years to meet unprecedented levels of demand from clients worldwide. We also anticipate major developments in our modular division in the vessel accommodation market."
