⭐ 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 5-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥 ⭐ We are delighted to share that we have signed a 5-year contract with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) for crane servicing and engineering support on the Royal Research Ship (RRS), Sir David Attenborough. Our largest service contract to date sees Brimmond become the main hydraulic contractor for refit periods, working across the ship’s Rosyth and Harwich bases. We have committed 12 technicians to work on the prestigious project. Brimmond’s Managing Director, Tom Murdoch, said: “We have been providing engineering support for the marine cranes onboard this state-of-the-art ship – one of the most advanced polar research vessels in the world - for the past 2 years. There’s no doubt that we have won this substantial contract extension with such a high-profile client on the strength of our team’s technical expertise and commitment to quality. It’s an honour to be involved in a project of such global significance, and we look forward to making sure that the cranes onboard are in the optimum condition to support the team’s world-leading scientific research in Antarctica. “This project also forms a key part of our strategy to diversify our operations beyond our core market of oil and gas, and as our largest service contract to date, demonstrates the demand for our service offering across a wide spectrum of sectors.” Andy Webb, Technical Superintendent on the BAS vessel added: “‘Brimmond were initially brought onto the vessel to support BAS with crane work as the UK distributor and service supplier for Heila cranes. Following initial service visits, it was clear that Brimmond were able to support the Sir David Attenborough with a much wider scope of works, extending their support with numerous hydraulic systems which require constant repair and modifications. “In early 2024 BAS were able to secure a 5-year framework agreement with Brimmond to support the vessel during each maintenance period it is available within the UK. The most recent maintenance period saw a team of engineers attend the vessel to conduct pipework repairs, crane repairs and routine maintenance. The highly skilled team of engineers performed their task in a professional manner and continue to go over and above.” ➡️ Got a project? Get in touch, we've love to hear from you: 44 (0)1467 633805 sales @brimmond.com #BoatyMcBoatFace #Hydraulics #MarineCranes
