Crane company Intebloc has been awarded a six-figure three-year contract from Stena Drilling.
The contract, which is the biggest to date for the Aberdeen-based business, will see Intebloc provide its data management system Rig-Ware to Stena Drilling offshore assets in Europe, Africa, and South America.
Rig-Ware will allow onsite personnel to track and monitor the usage of all loose and fixed lifting equipment.
The technology will improve offshore safety and reduce the risk of lifting equipment failures.
In addition, it will also provide real-time inventory data analysis, enabling quicker and more informed decision making for lifting equipment management.
The award follows several successful trials on the Stena Spey platform and Stena IceMAX drillship in the North Sea.
Intebloc CEO Ross Mcleod said: “This contract marks an incredible milestone for Intebloc. Stena Drilling has been integral to the development of the Rig-Ware system.
“Their feedback enhanced our offering to control assets, protect equipment and optimise deck management.
“We’ve already demonstrated that Rig-Ware has been a real asset to Stena Drilling’s lifting operations and look forward to working on this project together.”
Stena Drilling digital transformation manager said: “We have been working with Intebloc for nearly two years and have carried out extensive trials on a number of our assets.
“We are very pleased with the way our feedback has been incorporated into the system. I am confident the high cost savings and efficiency expectations will be realised with Rig-Ware.”
Founded in 2017, Aberdeen-based Intebloc provides crane and lifting technology to improve safety and efficiency across the construction, marine and energy markets.
