Nordic Group

Units of offshore marine company Nordic Group have recently clinched several contracts with a total value of about $36.5 million.

Austin Energy secured a contract with a multinational firm in the oil and gas industry for the supply of labour and materials for piping and equipment insulation. This project worth about $400,000 will be completed in Indonesia by the second quarter.

Separately, Nordic Flow Control, Multiheight Scaffolding and Austin Energy have renewed their maintenance contracts with several repeat customers for a total value of about $36.1 million. In particular, Multiheight Scaffolding renewed a maintenance contract with an oil major for an initial period of three years with an option of a two-year extension. This is the first instance of the oil major renewing its maintenance contract with the company on a longer-term basis instead of periodic renewal.
