Dear Readers,
I’m pleased to share continued progress across the business, with project milestones achieved, key leadership appointments, and strong momentum in strategic areas such as onshore EPC, digital innovation, and workforce development.
Safety remains central to everything we do, and I’m proud to report that two of our offshore EPCI projects recently reached a combined milestone of five million LTI-free manhours. A third project crossed 2.5 million manhours, also without incident. These achievements speak to the discipline and vigilance of our people across the business. As part of our ongoing safety culture, we also launched our Safety Champion Awards this quarter, recognising individuals making outstanding contributions across our operations.
As I alluded to in the last edition of Lamprelltimes, we secured significant tenders earlier this year. These include four major MOUs from a key client covering the EPCI of multiple topsides, jackets, pipelines and subsea works. Together, these represent the largest series of awards in Lamprell’s history, reflecting the trust our client has placed in us. To support this workload, we have been able to bring our Jebel Ali yard back into operation after several years of inactivity, while continuing to utilise our Hamriyah facility in the UAE.
In addition, we plan to utilise IMI’s facilities in KSA, in which Lamprell is a significant shareholder. Utilising all three facilities provides us with the flexibility to deliver these projects efficiently and plan ahead with confidence. It also means our teams will be busy and engaged well into the future, while ensuring we retain the capacity and agility to take on additional opportunities. Working closely with our sister company AMC, a regional offshore transportation and installation contractor, we are well-positioned to execute these projects to the highest standards.
We welcomed Edoardo Martinelli as Chief Operating Officer this quarter, strengthening our operational leadership at a pivotal time in our growth. His experience is already helping shape the next chapter of our business, and you can learn more in our Q&A feature. In parallel, we’ve ramped up recruitment across engineering, supply chain, and other key disciplines in both our UAE and India offices. Visit the careers section of our website to learn more about current opportunities.
This quarter also saw the return of our annual board strategy session, where we aligned on the next phase of Lamprell’s evolution. The Board expressed strong support for our progress to date and the direction we’re taking as we scale the business.
A key element of that strategy is our onshore EPC transformation, led by Massimo De Camillis. With an expanded leadership team now in place, we’re actively pursuing work across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, supported by a clear delivery model and growing client interest. You can read more about this transformation and meet the team in our featured article.
Other operational highlights include the award of a robotic blasting and painting contract for our serial production line, which is expected to be operational in early 2026. This marks a key step forward in advancing automation and productivity in our yards. We’ve also made steady progress in strengthening our digital and IT infrastructure, including early talks with external consultants to take our AI and digital tools to the next level.
Internally, we held successful town halls in Dubai and Chennai and launched a new leadership development programme. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to building a resilient, high-performing organisation from the inside out.
Finally, our pipeline of opportunities continues to grow, now exceeding $55 billion. With increased client engagement and multiple tenders in progress, we’re optimistic about what lies ahead.
To our people, thank you for the energy and commitment you bring to your work every day. And to our clients and partners, thank you for your continued trust. We look forward to delivering more, together.
