EnerMech wins Dubai crane contract

Scottish energy services company EnerMech has agreed a two year extension to its crane maintenance services contract with Dubai Petroleum.

The contract - originally signed in 2022 - covers planned and corrective maintenance with dedicated site personnel including call off support, onshore servicing and refurbishment of crane components, procurement of spares and engineering upgrade solutions for obsolete equipment.

EnerMech chief executive Charles Davison said: "We are ambitious in our aims in the Middle East and the extension of this contract is material evidence of the fine work that our regional team has undertaken for Dubai Petroleum over the initial phase of work. Our lifting solutions service line personnel are renowned for delivering safe, efficient operations which provide our customers with industry leading capabilities, and I commend them for achieving this strategically important extension."

Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, EnerMech was established in 2008 by former PSL owners Doug Duguid, Michael Buchan, Derek Grant and Phil Bentley with a combined capital investment of more than £30 million from the four shareholders and private equity firm Lime Rock Partners. The company was acquired by Carlyle in late 2018, which completed in 2020. Last year it handed the business over to a group led by Polus Capital Management in a debt for equity swap.

Today it provides a wide range of mechanical and electric services for the offshore, transport and infrastructure sectors, including crane rental, servicing and repairs etc from locations in the UK, Norway, Africa, the Americas, Australasia, the Caspian region and the Middle East.
