International Limited (ASX:SDA) Secures Multiple
Professional Services Contracts with Oil and Gas
Operators |
May 18, 2017
Speedcast International Limited has secured four new contracts
for professional services with oil and gas operators in the
North Sea and Asia-Pacific region.
"Our ability to match the correct personnel to the job, as well
as the depth of expertise and flexibility we provide our
customers, is key to our professional services model," said
Keith Johnson, EVP Energy, Speedcast. "Embedding a Speedcast
employee on-site at a customer location further strengthens our
relationship and enables our clients to focus on their core
business rather than their telecommunications networks.
Professional services is an area where we are adding resources
because of the increasing interest from our customers for a
partner that can provide a full range of products and services,
not just connectivity."
In the North Sea, Speedcast will provide engineering and systems
integration support through the testing and commissioning of
various equipment including public address and general alarm
(PA/GA) systems, closed-circuit television (CCTV), ultra high
frequency (UHF) and very high frequency(VHF) radios, Global
Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), and radar and
aeronautical navigation beacons during the final part of a
shipyard fit-out phase before providing ongoing support during
the critical period from sail-away to first oil. The team will
then execute a full handover to the operator to complete the
contract.
Additionally, Speedcast has expanded its professional services
role with two major operators in the North Sea to complement and
provide network support to the specialist teams who it already
supports through radio operator, telecom technician and
project/service delivery positions.
Finally, Speedcast will provide engineering resources to another
large oil and gas operator to help commission the
telecommunication services on a new platform in Malaysia.
Speedcast's professional services group provides short- or
long-term technical manpower and expertise on a dedicated,
project- or part-time basis at custo! mer sites or at one of
Speedcast's global points of presence. Past professional
services projects include end-to-end management of client
networks, license facilitation and operation and maintenance of
existing, client-owned IT systems and telecom equipment.
