Lamprell plc announced that its contracts from Seajacks International Limited for the construction of two harsh environment self propelled four legged jackup vessels have now come into effect following Seajacks' successful fund raising. The contracts were first announced last February 1, 200 .
Work on the projects will begin immediately. It is expected that the first unit will be delivered to Seajacks in early 2009, with the second unit following four months later.
"We are delighted to hear that these contracts have now come into effect," said David Moran, Lamprell's chief operating officer. "The prospect of being able to showcase our expertise and skills in the new build arena through these projects is very exciting and we look forward to working with Seajacks on this and future projects."
