OFFSHORE DECOMMISSIONING SERVICES

ODS is pleased to announce that the first round of Tank Testing is underway at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

​

Testing will continue for two weeks where a variety of Ballast conditions and wave spectra will provide valuable information in our motion analysis, verifying the anticipated operational availability of over 300 days in the North Sea.

​

A few photos are available in our Moonraker 1 images section. Additional images will be uploaded soon.

ODS is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Jim Christie as company Chairman.

ODS is incredibly grateful to Jim for his support and guidance, and eagerly look forward to developing future opportunities together.

Jim brings a wealth of experience and in-depth knowledge which has proven incredibly beneficial to ODS and the Forth & Tay Decommissioning alliance. As Chairman, Jim will continue to provide indispensable guidance and assist with the company’s ambition to deliver a UK based Heavy Lift solution, which is aligned with the UK supporting infrastructure focused on decommissioning.

Additionally the next actions will be taken by F&T Decommissioning:

• Respond to the Government call to action

• Organising a ‘reverse’ hackathon

ODS are proud to announce that support from the Oil and Gas Innovation Centre has been approved to co-fund the Model Basin Test at the University of Strathclyde.

ODS would like to extend their sincere thanks to OGIC and the University of Strathclyde for their continued support.

The approval from OGIC provides significant comfort that the concept of a versatile UK based Heavy Lift Vessel which will support the removal and transit of assets to the UK for recycling and disposal is of great interest to UK industry and economy.

Within 3 months of the initial meeting, the highly successful launch event took place at Discovery Point in Dundee on the 18th March 2019
