This award adds to their current order book with contracts currently already underway with Shell, GE Vetco, Cyclotech, Saipem, and Petrofac in the North Sea. AKD has also signed agreements to work with Aker Solutions for another 3 years. AKD’s Sales manager Denise Farr said: “with these latest contract wins, we are well on course to deliver good results for 2013. Our focus is firmly on excelling in delivery for our clients.
