Bibby Offshore wins Trinidad contract

Bibby Offshore, a leading subsea services provider to the oil and gas industry, is pleased to announce two contract wins with a multimillion pound combined value.

The first contract win is a comprehensive DSV IRM campaign at two fields in the UKCS, Northern North Sea. The scope of work includes performing barrier testing, reconfiguring flexible pipelines, installing a new production spool and commissioning.

The second contract win is a construction project approximately 22 miles off the coast of Trinidad. The project will utilise the Bibby Sapphire and include riser clamp installation, spool installation work, flexible jumper tie-ins and pre-commissioning activities.

Moving Abroad Checklist

Initial Considerations

Will your partner be travelling with you?

If so, what will they be giving up in your present home and will they be able to continue with their career in your new home? You will need to check whether a separate visa is required for your partner to work or if your visa gives that right. If they are unable to work you will need to decide on the effect on your finances and what alternatives are available to give a fulfilling life (home business, training, voluntary work).

Are you taking family with you?

Moving with family raises many exciting opportunities, but also can create challenges. The HSBC Expat Explorer survey indicates that expat kids can take six months to settle in to their new country (see article). Getting young or even older children to prepare to move and leave their friends and family behind can be a challenge and should be thought through.

The options for education is another area that needs to be thought through.

Moving your child to a new country with a different education system can be a great opportunity to broaden their experience, but if they are close to key exams the timing can make this inadvisable. If you do take your family with you, it is important to decide between joining the local school system or choosing an international school.

Where will you be living?

Whether you will be living in a house or apartment, furnished or unfurnished, these decisions will affect what you need to take with you. The time you are planning to live overseas will also affect whether you should leave your property at home empty, rent it out or sell it. See the article Sell, Store or Ship.
