The 20-month contract will see ASCO service the five-well development via its Great Yarmouth hub, from where quayside services including marine gas oil, water, storage, warehousing and CCU provision will be supplied.

Operating eight berths within Great Yarmouth harbour, ASCO’s logistics capability includes shore-based services, storage and warehousing and environmental services in addition to the largest local transport fleet in the logistics sector.

Securing such projects locally is critical to ensuring the longer-term sustainability of the supply chain in the Southern North Sea.

“ASCO’s Great Yarmouth hub is strategically placed to provide flexible logistics and supply base services to customers active in the region, whilst our quayside location and 90-strong staff are renowned for optimising safe and efficient operations, whilst minimising environmental impact.”
