The GBP100m deal includes the management of the eight autonomous rescue and recovery craft on the RSVs and will be handled by Bibby's staff in Aberdeen.
Mark Hardie, BP’s UK Logistics Infrastructure manager, said: “This award is a key component of BP’s long term marine strategy and we look forward to working with Bibby Ship Management to ensure high levels of service to our offshore operations. The five-year contract involves managing the existing Caledonian vessels as well as the two new high specification supply vessels which will be joining the BP fleet from 2014. The award is good news for the 200 crew and support staff involved in this contract.”
