UK: OMM signs frame work agreement with Prysmian

OMM's scope of services includes vessel management, tower support services and subsea support services such as route clearance, PLGR and mattress installation with the option to utilise OMM's innovative new multi-mattress deployment system, MDS³.

The FWA has been awarded following a long term relationship for the supply of similar services in the European market place. OMM's ability to offer flexible solutions to the highest standards was a major factor in the decision to formalise the relationship for a further 3 years.

John Lawton, Director for OMM, said of the agreement "It is a real testament to the work we do here at OMM, to finalise another agreement with Prysmian and with options to extend the services and entities it covers. We have an excellent track record collaborating on projects together and look forward to fostering the relationship further during the years to come.  Our extensive experience of supporting such companies in the European market is a real strength of OMM's."

Most recently OMM and Prysmian worked together at West Adlergrunde OWF and on BorWin 3 and DolWin 3 cabling works. OMM began work at DanTysk OWF in August following the first call-off under the new agreement.
