JFD in £10m MoD salvage contract

JFD has won a four year framework agreement worth up to £10m to supply subsea equipment and support for UK Ministry of Defence S&MO.

As part of the contract, JFD will provide tooling, parts and technical assistance for the mobilisation, integration and repair of new equipment for UK MOD Salvage and Marine Operations (S&MO), which owns and operates subsea equipment for salvage, towing, heavy lifting, operational moorings, port clearance and underwater engineering for the MOD.

In addition, JFD will also provide offshore surveyor support and logistical assistance in the form of 24-hour access to its engineering support cell technical support service.

In order to fulfil the MOD brief, JFD has teamed up with ADUS DeepOcean, which specialises in wreck surveys in support of large scale wreck removal and management, to provide personnel and equipment for subsea surveys as required.

JFD will also be working with risk management consultancy, BMT Asset Performance which will be providing specialist technical advice over the course of the contract.
