NEW $20m Contract WIN FOR K2 DIVISION
Velosi Limited ("Velosi" or the "Group"), the AIM listed provider of asset
integrity and HSE services to a number of major national and multinational oil
and gas companies, is pleased to announce that its 65% owned subsidiary, K2
International Limited ("K2"), has been awarded a three year contract with
Samsung Heavy Industries Co Ltd ("SHI"). The contract is estimated to be worth
in excess of USD20 million over three years.
SHI is one of the world's leading shipbuilders, constructing vessels with
leading-edge technology including drill ships, ultra-large container ships, LNG
cariers and FPSOs.
Under the SHI contract, Velosi will provide specialist services for the assembly
and installation of at least 20 derricks. The project will require highly
trained rope access derrick builders to work on steel erection, the installation
of electrical, mechanical and hydraulic equipment, and structural surveying and
alignment as required. The contract commenced at SHI's shipyard on Geoje Island,
South Korea, on 13 March 2009.
K2, which Velosi acquired in October 2007, provides a range of Inspection,
Testing, Integrity Management and Engineering services to the Oil & Gas industry
throughout Asia and Australasia, the Middle East and Central Asia. The
acquisition increased Velosi's presence in these regions, in addition to
expanding Velosi's expertise in rope access services; K2's Rope Access Training
School is one of the largest in the world.
Commenting on this contract win Dr. Nabil Abdul Jalil, CEO of Velosi said: "K2
has been an extremely valuable addition to the Group, and we have seen strong
demand for its specialist skills, in particular, due to the cost savings
delivered by its rope access expertise as compared with traditional scaffolding
techniques. This contract together with our current order book continues to
underpin our confidence of a positive outcome for the current year."
