Invergordon-headquartered industrial cleaning and environmental waste management specialist the MSIS Group has secured a contract with Wood Group worth around £200,000.

The contract will see the MSIS Group deliver and hire out a specialist decontamination unit and ancillary equipment for a project onboard the Hess operated Triton FPSO (Floating production Storage and Offloading) vessel.

For the contract - which is expected to run for a minimum of 15 months - MSIS has designed and produced the NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material) decontamination unit, which will house a wash down area and treatment facility, in conjunction with Wood Group.

As part of the project, MSIS will also provide Wood Group with specialist personnel - including a RPS (Radioactive Protection Supervisor) - to undertake the decontamination of any equipment onboard the vessel that shows any traces of NORM.

Louise Green, sales and marketing manager at the MSIS Group, commented: 'This is a fantastic contract to have secured and we are delighted to again be working with Wood Group, which we have previously delivered highly successful projects for.

'In recent years we have continued to cement our position as leaders in the industrial cleaning of FPSOs and the securing of the contract further highlights our experience and expertise in this field.

'We look forward to working closely with Wood Group on this project and are confident the company will be extremely pleased with the unit and service they are set to receive.'

The MSIS Group - made up of MS Industrial Services and ITS Environmental Services - consists of three primary divisions, Onshore, Offshore, and Equipment Rental and Sales.

The forming of the group was engineered after the opportunity was identified to cross-sell the businesses' specialist services to the customer base of the respective divisions, and position the overall group as leaders of industrial cleaning and environmental waste management services to the oil and gas, utilities, distilleries, construction and civil engineering sectors.
