James Fisher & Sons subsidiary awarded marine services contract for UK refinery

The contract is for ten years and will entail the management of three vessels, oil transfer operations, buoy maintenance, and diving operations to support the UK-based refinery of an international, integrated energy company

James Fisher & Sons plc (LON:FSJ) said its subsidiary, James Fisher Marine Services, has been awarded a £50mln marine services contract.

The FTSE 250-listed marine engineer said the contract will be for ten years and entails the management of three vessels, oil transfer operations, buoy maintenance, and diving operations to support the UK-based refinery of an international, integrated energy company based in the UK.

Nick Henry, James Fisher chief executive, said: "This contract brings together a range of services within our Group, and reflects our strong safety record as a tanker operator and in oil transfer services."

The new contract win follows an acquisition for the group in February, when it acquired New South Wales-based recompression chamber manufacturer Cowan Manufacturing Pty Ltd for A$2.6mln.

James Fisher & Sons shares were up 1.8% at 1,548p in mid-morning trading Tuesday.
